Connect your MCP client
LinWheel works with any MCP-compatible client. Add the server config to your client's MCP configuration:
OpenClaw
Add to your openclaw.json under mcpServers:
// openclaw.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"linwheel": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@linwheel/mcp-server"],
"env": {
"LINWHEEL_API_KEY": "lw_sk_paste_your_key_here"
}
}
}
}Claude Code
Run this to register the server:
claude mcp add linwheel -- npx -y @linwheel/mcp-serverThen open .mcp.json (project root or ~/.claude/.mcp.json for global) and add your API key:
{
"mcpServers": {
"linwheel": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@linwheel/mcp-server"],
"env": {
"LINWHEEL_API_KEY": "lw_sk_paste_your_key_here"
}
}
}
}Claude Desktop
Edit your config file:
- macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json - Windows:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Add the same server config block shown above.
Other MCP clients
Any client that supports the Model Context Protocol can use LinWheel. Point your client at:
npx -y @linwheel/mcp-serverSet the LINWHEEL_API_KEY environment variable and connect via stdio.
Restart and verify
Restart your MCP client, then ask:
“List my LinWheel posts”
You should see a list of your posts (or an empty list if you're new). If you get an auth error, double-check your API key.
What you can do
Just describe what you want. Your agent picks the right tool.
“Draft a post about our new API. Make it a field note.”
“Generate a cover image and a carousel for that post.”
“Schedule it for tomorrow at 10 AM ET.”
“Add a comment with the docs link, fire at T+30.”
