The Coach answers you on our credits. The assistant you already pay for can answer instead: plug Showcraft into it through its MCP server, then say "drive Showcraft" and it listens to the app, hears the red button and the chat, and answers in them. The address is the same everywhere: https://getshowcraft.com/mcp.

The server lets an assistant in only once your Showcraft account is approved: the sign-in page says so when it is not. These steps were taken on 2026-10-30, with the versions noted on each one; the tools move, and we update the steps when they do. The light in the app's top bar turns green once your assistant listens.

Claude Code Claude Code 2.1.314 · 2026-10-30

Claude Code, in the terminal, takes Showcraft as a plugin: the plugin brings the server and the /showcraft:drive command.

  1. In a terminal, add the marketplace and install the plugin. Inside a Claude Code session the same two lines work with a slash: /plugin marketplace add … and /plugin install …. 
    claude plugin marketplace add olivier-babelcast/showcraft-plugin
claude plugin install showcraft@showcraft
    A terminal: the marketplace added, the plugin installed, and the server listed as needing authentication
  2. Sign in once. In a session, type /mcp, pick showcraft, choose Authenticate; the browser opens Showcraft's sign-in page. From the terminal it is claude mcp login plugin:showcraft:showcraft.
  3. In a session, type /showcraft:drive, or say "drive Showcraft".

Without the plugin, claude mcp add --transport http showcraft https://getshowcraft.com/mcp registers the server for the config folder Claude Code runs in, and nowhere else; the plugin is the way that follows you. The plugin's code is public: github.com/olivier-babelcast/showcraft-plugin.

Codex Codex CLI 0.161.0 · 2026-10-30

  1. In a terminal, one line adds the server and opens the sign-in in your browser at once. Sign in on Showcraft's page; the terminal then says Successfully logged in. 
    codex mcp add showcraft --url https://getshowcraft.com/mcp
    A terminal: codex mcp add opens the sign-in address, logs in, and codex mcp get shows the server
  2. codex mcp get showcraft shows it; codex mcp login showcraft signs in again when needed; codex mcp remove showcraft takes it out.
  3. The Codex app and the IDE extension read the same settings: Settings › MCP servers › Add server, type Streamable HTTP, the address above, Save, then Authenticate.
  4. In Codex, say "drive Showcraft": the server's own instructions tell it the loop.
