MCP setup

Connect Superdirector to AI apps

Give ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, or Claude Code access to live social-video research, Brand DNA, and Superdirector briefs.

Copy the setup URL

Use the same URL for ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, or Claude Code.

Sign in once

Approve Superdirector through OAuth. No API key is needed.

Ask for current work

Run live social-video research, account analysis, and brief generation from the AI app.

Setup URL

One endpoint for every client.

Paste this URL into the AI app's connector or MCP server settings.

https://superdirector.app/mcp

Client setup

Pick the app you use.

Connect once, then ask the AI app to check your Superdirector account status.

ChatGPT

Settings -> Connectors -> Advanced -> Create. Paste the setup URL, choose OAuth, then enable the connector in chat.

https://superdirector.app/mcp

Claude

Settings -> Connectors -> Add custom connector. Paste the setup URL, sign in, then check the tools menu.

https://superdirector.app/mcp

Codex CLI

Add the server to ~/.codex/config.toml, then run `codex mcp login superdirector` once.

[mcp_servers.superdirector]
url = "https://superdirector.app/mcp"

Claude Code

Add the server from the terminal, then authenticate from /mcp inside Claude Code.

claude mcp add --transport http superdirector "https://superdirector.app/mcp"

New accounts

Start from the agent, not the web app.

If the user only wants MCP, the AI app can import a public account and guide the next step.

Use Superdirector to analyze @glossier on Instagram, then show me the Brand DNA and similar accounts.
1

Analyze

Ask your AI app to run analyze_brand_profile for a public Instagram or TikTok handle.

2

Read

Use the returned brandProfileId for Brand DNA, similar accounts, and reference search.

3

Track

For recurring scans or brand-profile anchored briefs, confirm one tracked-profile slot and run track_brand_profile.

4

Continue

Then run scan_account_ideas or generate_content_brief from the same AI chat.

Plan and usage

Free to connect. Credits for work.

  • Free accounts can connect AI apps and use read/status tools.
  • The $29 plan adds recurring credits and full self-serve workflow access.
  • Metered tools use the same credit balance and refund-on-failure behavior as the web app.

Details

The full 16-tool set is available after connection.

Long-running work

Reference searches and content briefs return a task id immediately. The AI app polls get_task_status and fetches the result with get_task_result. Checking a task is always free.

Troubleshooting

If the setup URL does not connect, confirm the endpoint is public HTTPS.

If tools do not appear, disconnect and reconnect so the AI app refreshes the tool list.

If a task seems stuck, ask the AI app to check get_task_status.
