Connect your agent

Claude & ChatGPT apps — add the connector

Claude Desktop, claude.ai, ChatGPT (desktop and web).

Desktop chat apps have no shell and a restricted fetch tool: they can read our docs but cannot call the API. The MCP connector is the door that works — add this URL once and the eight searches are available in every chat.

https://createwith.dev/api/v1/mcp

Claude (desktop or claude.ai)

1. Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
2. Paste the URL above and save. It is keyless, so no sign-in screen appears.
3. If the tools don't show up in a chat: open the tools menu under the message box and toggle the connector on. A chat begun before the install may need a reload.

ChatGPT (desktop or web)

1. Settings → Apps & Connectors → enable Developer mode (the menu name moves between releases; custom connectors live behind it).
2. Add a custom connector and paste the URL above.
3. Enable it in the conversation's tools before asking.

Claude Code — one command

Claude Code (CLI and IDE).

claude mcp add --transport http createwith https://createwith.dev/api/v1/mcp

The nine tools load on the next session. With a key, append --header "Authorization: Bearer tw_live_…" to keep usage on your account. The skill file (below) is the alternative — either way the menu is loaded before anyone asks.

Cursor & IDEs — mcp.json

Cursor, Windsurf, and any client that reads an mcpServers config.

Cursor: save as .cursor/mcp.json in the project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project. Windsurf and most MCP clients accept the same shape.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "createwith": {
      "url": "https://createwith.dev/api/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code reads a servers variant from .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "createwith": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://createwith.dev/api/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Codex — install the skill

Codex CLI.

mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills/createwith && curl -fsSL https://createwith.dev/skill.md -o ~/.agents/skills/createwith/SKILL.md

The contract as a skill file, at the path Codex scans for skills. Claude Code loads the same file from ~/.claude/skills/createwith/SKILL.md.

skills CLI

Claude Code or Codex, via the skills installer.

npx skills add https://createwith.dev

Either host, via /.well-known/skills/index.json.

No MCP client — paste a prompt

A CLI agent with a shell but no web tools.

Handed a bare URL, a shell-only agent makes zero requests — it has no browser and says so. Paste this into the chat instead; the curl is the web tool.

CreateWith is a Twitch creator-discovery API for brand campaigns. Fetch the contract with: curl -s https://createwith.dev/llms.txt — it carries a menu of eight named searches. A first worked call: curl -s "https://createwith.dev/api/v1/creators/search?limit=3". Reads and searches need no key.

Raw HTTP — curl

Scripts, cron jobs, anything that speaks HTTP.

The REST index is at /api/v1 and a first search needs nothing:

curl -s "https://createwith.dev/api/v1/creators/search?limit=3"

The mount speaks JSON-RPC over plain POST too. Both Accept values are required — without them the mount answers 406:

curl -s https://createwith.dev/api/v1/mcp -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-06-18","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"curl","version":"0.1"}}}'
