Claude Setup

Last updated: July 10, 2026

Claude Desktop includes the coding agent Claude Code as a Code tab. You connect to and use the WEEGLOO MCP server through this Code tab. Through this connection, the agent in the Code tab can directly create, read, and modify resources such as Content Type, Content, and Media. You set everything up at once with the install tool, finish authentication with claude's /mcp, and then you can use it right away in the Code tab.

MCP itself, the server groups, and the file upload server are covered in MCP. This page covers only the steps to connect to Claude Desktop's Code tab.

Claude Desktop's Code tab runs on Claude Code. WEEGLOO connects through the Code tab too, using the same MCP and Skills settings as Claude Code. Claude Code must be installed so that you can run it from your terminal with the claude command. If you do not have it yet, see the Claude Code install guide.

Prerequisites

Running the install commands below requires Node.js. First, check whether it is installed and whether the version is 18 or higher with the following commands.

Terminal
node --version # v18 or higher is OK npx --version # OK if a version is printed

If Node.js is installed but npx is not, update npm to the latest version with the command below. Updating npm installs npx along with it.

Terminal
npm install -g npm@latest

If Node.js is not installed or its version is too old, install Node.js using the method that fits your operating system.

Terminal
brew install node

If you do not have Homebrew, install it first from brew.sh, or download Node.js directly from nodejs.org.

Connecting

Choose the install location, then follow the guide below. To connect only a single project, choose Project; to use it across all projects, choose Global.

Install MCP · Skills

Copy the install command and run it in your terminal.

Terminal
$ npx weegloo@latest -y \ --agent claude \ --token wgl_••••••••••••

Authenticate MCP

Authenticate in the order below.

This step needs the Claude Code CLI (claude). If it is not installed, install Claude Code first.
  1. 1.Run Claude Code in your terminal.
    Terminal
    claude
  2. 2.Type /mcp to open the MCP server management screen.
    Terminal
    /mcp
  3. 3.Select weegloo in the list. It shows as needs authentication.
    Terminal
    Manage MCP servers > weegloo · ∆ needs authentication weegloo-upload · √ connected
  4. 4.Confirm the URL is https://ai.weegloo.com/mcp and choose Authenticate.
    Terminal
    Weegloo MCP Server Status: ∆ needs authentication URL: https://ai.weegloo.com/mcp > 1. Authenticate 2. Disable
  5. 5.Choosing Authenticate opens a WEEGLOO authentication page like the one below in your browser. Copy your token with the Copy token button, paste it, and click Connect server. When weegloo turns connected, you are done.

Inspecting the Configuration File Yourself

The Code tab uses Claude Code's MCP and Skills settings as-is. As a result, the server you connect does not appear on Claude Desktop's connectors, plugins, or MCP screens, and can be used only in the Code tab. To check the installed server, run claude in your terminal and type /mcp. The install tool also automatically creates and manages the .mcp.json below, so you rarely need to open it directly. The content below is reference material for users who need the concrete configuration file structure and paths.

The weegloo server connects to https://ai.weegloo.com/mcp over HTTP, while the weegloo-upload server, which handles files, runs via npx and uses a Personal Access Token for authentication.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "weegloo": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://ai.weegloo.com/mcp"
    },
    "weegloo-upload": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "weegloo-upload"],
      "env": {
        "UPLOAD_API_URL": "https://upload.weegloo.com/v1",
        "AUTH_BEARER_TOKEN": "<Personal Access Token>"
      }
    }
  }
}

To change the server group, append a group value to the end of the weegloo server's url. For example, to use all tools, write it as https://ai.weegloo.com/mcp?group=all. For the tool composition of each group, refer to MCP Server Groups.

  • Skills and Rules: Covers what the Skills and Rules that the install tool sets up alongside it are.
  • Migrating Static Pages with AI: Follow the flow of migrating a real page into a content-based service with the MCP connection you set up.
