Install in Claude Code

Claude Code is MCP-aware out of the box. Add Lavendly once and its 32 tools are available in every project.

1. Add the server

Hosted (recommended). Nothing to install. Sign in with OAuth the first time a tool runs:

claude mcp add --transport http lavendly https://mcp.lavendly.ai/mcp

Or send an API key instead of signing in:

claude mcp add --transport http lavendly https://mcp.lavendly.ai/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer lv_…"

Local. Runs the @lavendly/mcp package on your machine:

claude mcp add lavendly --env LAVENDLY_API_KEY=lv_… -- npx -y @lavendly/mcp

2. Verify

claude mcp list            # lavendly should show as connected
claude mcp get lavendly    # details for one server

Inside Claude Code, /mcp shows the server and lets you sign in again if the connection has expired.

3. Use it from any project

In Claude Code:

Make a 6-second intro for this project’s README: the project name in cursive on a velvet background, with a quiet piano sting. Tell me the price first. Save the URL into docs/intro.md.

Claude Code prices the video with estimate_cost, asks you, generates it with the Lavendly tools, then writes the URL with its own file tools.

Pair it with a skill

The MCP server gives Claude Code the tools. For consistent results (call order, idempotency keys, asking before spending), load a Lavendly skill alongside it. See Agent skills.

Per-project configuration

To share the setup with a team, add it at project scope. Claude Code writes .mcp.json in the project root:

claude mcp add --scope project --transport http lavendly https://mcp.lavendly.ai/mcp

.mcp.json expands environment variables, so a key never has to be committed:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lavendly": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.lavendly.ai/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${LAVENDLY_API_KEY}" }
    }
  }
}

API keys and OAuth sign-ins act in your personal space and spend your own credits.
