# Use Aivy from ChatGPT, Claude or Grok

Aivy works inside AI assistants. Connect it once, then ask your assistant to set up your brand, plan your content or write and schedule posts. You decide what each assistant may do, and you can disconnect it at any time.

**Aivy's address for AI assistants:** `https://aivymarketing.com/api/mcp`

## What you can ask

- "Show my Aivy brands and what is planned for next week."
- "Write three LinkedIn post drafts about our spring offer."
- "Which of my posts did best last month?"
- "Schedule the draft about the workshop for Tuesday at 9:00." (only if you allowed scheduling)

## Connecting

When you connect, an Aivy window opens. There you:

1. Sign in, or create an Aivy account (we e-mail you a 6-digit code).
2. Choose the brands: all of them (including brands you create later), or only some.
3. Choose what the assistant may do:
   - **Look only** – reads your brands, strategy, content plan, posts and results.
   - **Set up my brand and prepare drafts** – also fills in Brand DNA, strategy and content plan, and writes drafts. Nothing is published.
   - **Also schedule and publish** – can post on your connected social accounts. You can hold every post for your approval in Aivy first.
4. Choose how many credits it may spend on AI work. Setting up a brand uses about 28 credits.
5. Click **Allow and go back**.

### Claude (claude.ai, desktop app, Cowork)

1. Open **Settings → Connectors** and choose **Add custom connector**.
2. Name it **Aivy** and paste `https://aivymarketing.com/api/mcp`.
3. Click **Connect** and approve in the Aivy window.

Custom connectors need a paid Claude plan. In a Team or Enterprise workspace, an owner may need to add Aivy first.

### Claude Code

```
claude mcp add --transport http aivy https://aivymarketing.com/api/mcp
```

Then type `/mcp` in Claude Code, choose **aivy** and sign in.

### ChatGPT

Until Aivy is listed in the ChatGPT app directory:

1. Open **Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced settings** and turn on **Developer mode**.
2. Choose **Create**, name it **Aivy**, paste `https://aivymarketing.com/api/mcp` and pick **OAuth**.
3. Approve in the Aivy window, then turn Aivy on from the tools menu in a chat.

### Grok (grok.com)

1. Open **grok.com/connectors** and choose **New Connector → Custom**.
2. Paste `https://aivymarketing.com/api/mcp` and sign in to Aivy.

### Grok Bot, Cursor and other MCP clients

Clients that sign in by themselves only need the address. For clients that need a fixed key:

1. In Aivy, open **Settings → AI Assistants** and choose **Create a key**. Copy the key; it is shown once.
2. Add the address and this header in your client: `Authorization: Bearer <your key>`.

Keys work for 90 days. You can replace or disconnect them under **Settings → AI Assistants**.

## Managing assistants

**Settings → AI Assistants** in Aivy shows every connected assistant, what it may do, the credits it used and what it did. **Disconnect** stops it right away.

## Privacy and safety

- An assistant sees only the brands and actions you allowed.
- Nothing is published unless you chose **Also schedule and publish**; with approval on, every post waits for you in Aivy.
- Aivy never shows your social account passwords or tokens to an assistant.
- The assistant's provider (for example OpenAI or Anthropic) receives the Aivy data it reads in your chat. See our [Privacy policy](https://aivymarketing.com/privacy).
