Overview
Beyond the dashboard, you can manage your Directify directory programmatically — including with AI assistants like Claude. There are three ways to connect, all built on the Directify REST API:MCP Server
Connect Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible AI assistant. Manage your directory in plain English.
CLI
The
directify command-line tool. Great for scripts, automation, and power users.Autonomous Agent
A self-running agent that manages your directory on a schedule, built on OpenClaw.
Which one should I use?
| You want to… | Use |
|---|---|
| Chat with Claude to create/edit listings, categories, custom fields, etc. | MCP Server |
| Run commands or scripts from your terminal / CI | CLI |
| Have an agent that works autonomously (e.g. scrape & import on a schedule) | Autonomous Agent |
| Call the API directly from your own code | REST API |

Before you start
All three methods need the same two things:An API token
In your Directify dashboard, go to Settings → API and click the Key icon to generate a token. Copy it somewhere safe — you won’t be able to see it again.
