# Connect Blotato API to Claude

## Action

Add [[entity-blotato|Blotato]] as a [[concept-custom-connectors-mcp|Custom Connector]] in [[entity-claude-co-work|Claude Co-Work]] using its MCP URL.

## Step-by-Step

### 1. Get Your Blotato API Key
- Go to https://blotato.com
- Navigate to **Settings → API**
- Copy your API Key

### 2. Add the Connector in Claude
- Open Claude Co-Work **Settings → Connectors**
- Click **Add custom connector**
- Name it `Blotato`
- Paste the MCP server URL:

```
https://mcp.blotato.com/mcp
```

### 3. Authenticate
- Click **Connect**
- Paste the API key when prompted

## Outcome

Claude gains the ability to:

- Generate visuals via Blotato templates (see [[action-generate-visuals|Generate Visuals via Natural Language]])
- Schedule posts directly to LinkedIn, X, and Facebook from inside the chat

This is the prerequisite for steps 4 and 5 of the [[framework-content-automation-workflow|End-to-End Claude Content Automation Workflow]].
