Claude Code (CLI)

Run one of these commands depending on where you want the server available:

# All your projects
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user imadeitup https://mcp.imadeitup.ai/mcp

# Current project only
claude mcp add --transport http imadeitup https://mcp.imadeitup.ai/mcp

# Current project, shared with your team via .mcp.json
claude mcp add --transport http --scope project imadeitup https://mcp.imadeitup.ai/mcp

On first use, Claude Code will open a browser for OAuth sign-in with your Google account.

Other MCP Clients

Any MCP-compatible client can connect using the server URL https://mcp.imadeitup.ai/mcp with OAuth 2.0 authentication (Google sign-in). The server implements the standard MCP HTTP transport.

First Steps

Once connected, try these prompts:

• "What can you tell me about I Made It Up?" — learn what's available
• "Create 5 personas: mid-career marketing managers in the US" — create your first audience
• "Ask each of them: what does AI productivity mean to you?" — run your first question
• "Run a structured interview with those personas..." — gather structured data
