# Claude Code Integration with Waygate MCP
## The Problem
The slash commands (e.g., `/blog-both-x`) specify that they should "auto-post X thread via Waygate MCP proxy", but Claude Code was only saving files instead of actually making the API calls.
## The Solution
Claude Code should use the Waygate MCP proxy when executing slash commands. Here's how:
## Integration Method for Claude Code
When Claude Code executes a slash command that requires X/Twitter posting, use this approach:
### 1. Check if Waygate MCP is Running
```bash
curl -s http://localhost:8000/health || echo "MCP server not running"
```
### 2. Post to X/Twitter via MCP Proxy
```python
import requests
import json
def post_tweet_via_mcp(tweet_text):
"""Post tweet via Waygate MCP proxy"""
mcp_url = "http://localhost:8000/mcp/execute"
payload = {
"action": "http_request",
"params": {
"url": "https://api.twitter.com/2/tweets",
"method": "POST",
"json": {
"text": tweet_text
}
}
}
response = requests.post(mcp_url, json=payload)
return response.json()
def post_thread_via_mcp(tweets):
"""Post thread via Waygate MCP proxy"""
tweet_urls = []
reply_to_id = None
for tweet_text in tweets:
payload = {
"action": "http_request",
"params": {
"url": "https://api.twitter.com/2/tweets",
"method": "POST",
"json": {
"text": tweet_text,
**({"reply": {"in_reply_to_tweet_id": reply_to_id}} if reply_to_id else {})
}
}
}
response = requests.post("http://localhost:8000/mcp/execute", json=payload)
result = response.json()
if result["status"] == "success" and result["result"]["status_code"] == 201:
tweet_data = result["result"]["data"]
tweet_id = tweet_data["data"]["id"]
tweet_urls.append(f"https://twitter.com/AsphaltCowb0y/status/{tweet_id}")
reply_to_id = tweet_id
else:
raise Exception(f"Tweet failed: {result}")
return tweet_urls
```
### 3. Claude Code Usage During Slash Commands
When Claude Code processes a slash command:
1. **Generate blog content** as normal
2. **Generate X thread** as normal
3. **Save thread to file** as backup
4. **ALSO call MCP proxy** to actually post
Example Claude Code workflow:
```python
# During /blog-both-x execution:
# 1. Generate content (existing logic)
blog_post = generate_blog_post(session_analysis)
x_thread = generate_x_thread(blog_post, thread_size)
# 2. Save to files (existing logic)
save_blog_post(blog_post)
save_thread_file(x_thread)
# 3. NEW: Actually post via MCP
if user_approved:
try:
tweet_urls = post_thread_via_mcp(x_thread)
print(f"✅ Thread posted successfully:")
for i, url in enumerate(tweet_urls, 1):
print(f" Tweet {i}: {url}")
except Exception as e:
print(f"❌ Failed to post thread: {e}")
print("Thread saved to file for manual posting")
```
## Current Status
✅ **Waygate MCP Server**: Running successfully on localhost:8000
✅ **OAuth Integration**: Auto-detects Twitter API with OAuth 2.0 fallback
✅ **API Testing**: Successfully routes requests (401 due to expired tokens)
✅ **Slash Commands**: Updated with auto-posting specifications
⏳ **Claude Code Integration**: Needs to actually call MCP during execution
## Immediate Next Steps
1. **User generates OAuth 1.0a tokens** (see OAUTH1A_SETUP.md)
2. **Claude Code uses MCP calls** during slash command execution
3. **Test end-to-end workflow** with real posting
## Test Command for Claude Code
```bash
# Test that Claude Code can call MCP
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/mcp/execute \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"action": "http_request",
"params": {
"url": "https://api.twitter.com/2/tweets",
"method": "POST",
"json": {
"text": "🤖 Claude Code → Waygate MCP → X/Twitter integration test! #AI #MCP"
}
}
}'
```
## Architecture Flow
```
User runs /blog-both-x
↓
Claude Code generates content
↓
Claude Code saves files (backup)
↓
Claude Code calls Waygate MCP → http://localhost:8000/mcp/execute
↓
Waygate MCP detects Twitter API call
↓
Waygate MCP adds OAuth 1.0a authentication
↓
Waygate MCP posts to X/Twitter API
↓
Claude Code receives tweet URLs
↓
Claude Code reports success to user
```
## Success Criteria
- [x] MCP server operational
- [x] OAuth authentication working (with OAuth 2.0 fallback)
- [x] API routing functional
- [ ] OAuth 1.0a tokens configured (user action required)
- [ ] Claude Code calls MCP during slash commands
- [ ] End-to-end posting successful
---
**The system is ready - it just needs OAuth 1.0a tokens and for Claude Code to actually make the MCP calls during slash command execution.**
