distribute.you Quick Start

Get up and running with distribute.you 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.

distrib.usr_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

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

3. Connect the MCP server

The server is hosted, so there is nothing to install. From Claude Code, one command:

claude mcp add --transport http distribute https://mcp.distribute.you/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer distrib.usr_YOUR_KEY"

That gives your AI client the 6 distribute.you tools. For Claude Desktop, Cursor and every other client, see the Installation guide.

4. Test the connection

In your AI client, ask:

"Check my distribute.you connection"

It calls the distribute_status tool and answers with your user id, your org id, and confirmation that the key works.

5. Read and steer from the client

Describe what you want in natural language:

"Show me the brands on my account"
"Read acme.com and suggest who I should be targeting"
"Which of my campaigns are still running?"
"What did my latest campaign produce, and what did it cost?"

6. Create things over the API

The MCP tools read and steer. Creating a brand or launching a campaign is a call to the REST API, which covers every operation the platform has:

curl https://api.distribute.you/v1/brands \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer distrib.usr_YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \\
  -d '{"url":"https://acme.com"}'

From a terminal or a CI job, the CLI is shorter:

npx @distribute.you/cli --help

If you would rather not touch any of this, sign up in the dashboard and give it a website: the campaign is set up for you at the same price.

What happens next

  2. Matching people are found
  3. Emails are written and sent from domains we own and warm
