2 minutes to your first tool

Quickstart

Go from zero to extracting structured data from any website in six steps. No installs, no config files, just a cloud MCP server.

01

Sign Up

Create a free Ghost account. You'll get an API key instantly — no waitlist, no credit card.

bash
# Go to https://gotghost.io/sign-up
# Your API key is auto-generated on signup
02

Get Your API Key

Find your API key on the dashboard. You'll need it to connect Ghost to Claude Code.

bash
# Go to https://gotghost.io/dashboard
# Copy your API key from the keys section
03

Add Ghost to Claude Code

Run this one-liner in your terminal to connect Ghost as a cloud MCP server. Replace YOUR_API_KEY with the key from step 2.

bash
claude mcp add --transport http -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" ghost https://ghost-gxm67a.fly.dev/mcp

Expected output

Added MCP server ghost
04

Navigate to Any Site

Ask Claude to use Ghost on any website. Ghost navigates to the page in a headless browser and analyzes the live DOM.

bash
"Use Ghost to navigate to https://news.ycombinator.com"

Expected output

Navigating to https://news.ycombinator.com...
Page loaded (1.2s)
DOM analyzed: 847 elements, 23 interactive regions
Ready for commands.
05

Extract Structured Data

Tell Claude what you want in plain English. Ghost generates a typed MCP tool, executes it, and returns structured JSON.

bash
"Extract the top 5 stories with points and authors"

Expected output

[
  { "title": "Show HN: Ghost -- AI browser automation", "points": 342, "author": "ajgreen" },
  { "title": "Why SQLite is taking over the world", "points": 289, "author": "sqlite_fan" },
  { "title": "Rust 2025 edition released", "points": 256, "author": "rust_dev" },
  { "title": "The unreasonable effectiveness of MCP", "points": 201, "author": "mcp_builder" },
  { "title": "Open source AI agents are winning", "points": 178, "author": "oss_advocate" }
]
