Quick Start

Get up and running with distribute in 5 minutes.

1. Create an Account

Go to dashboard.distribute.you and create your account.

2. Get Your API Key

In the dashboard, go to API Keys and create a new key.

dist_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Keep this key secret. It grants full access to your account.

3. Install the MCP Server

The fastest way to use distribute is from Claude Code:

claude mcp add distribute -- npx @distribute/mcp --api-key=YOUR_KEY

This installs @distribute/mcp as a local MCP server, giving your AI assistant access to 35 tools for managing brands, campaigns, workflows, leads, press kits, and more.

For other clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor), see the Installation guide.

4. Test the Connection

In your AI client, ask:

"Check my distribute connection"

The AI will call the whoami tool and confirm your user ID, org ID, and that your key is working.

5. Create a Brand

Tell your AI client:

"Create a brand for acme.com"

distribute will scrape your website, analyze your business, and create a brand profile that powers all future campaigns.

6. Launch Your First Campaign

Describe what you want in natural language:

"Launch a cold email campaign for acme.com targeting CTOs at SaaS startups. $10/day budget."

distribute will:

  1. Use your brand profile to understand your business
  2. Find matching leads via Apollo
  3. Generate personalized emails with AI
  4. Send emails and track delivery
  5. Qualify replies and notify you of interested prospects
