# Curated — how to use (mcp.ai)

Connect your Curated account and use 6 tools for email newsletters straight from your AI agent. Connect with your own API key. Curated is a platform that enables users to collect, curate, and publish newsletters, integrating with various services through its API.

## Option A — via MCP (recommended)
Remote MCP endpoint (HTTP, streamable): `https://api.mcp.ai/p_curated?ms=1787293500000`
Add it as a custom/remote MCP connector in your client (Claude, Cursor, VS Code…), then authenticate when prompted. Once connected, ask the agent to use the server's tools (e.g. `curated_create_draft_issue`).

## Option B — via direct REST API
Base URL: `https://api.mcp.ai/api/curated`
Auth: `Authorization: Bearer sk_live_…` — create a workspace API key at https://mcp.ai/settings/api-keys
Discover endpoints: `GET https://api.mcp.ai/api/curated/_endpoints`
