cd networkbot-python/mcp
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

### 2. Get your API key

Register or log in at [matchitup.in](https://matchitup.in) → Developer Docs → Get API Key.
Your key starts with `nb_`.

### 3. Add to Claude Desktop

Edit `~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (create if it doesn't exist):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "networkbot": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "networkbot_mcp"],
      "env": {

        "NETWORKBOT_BASE_URL": "https://matchitup.in"
