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.

Connecting the Directify MCP server to Claude

Before you start

All three methods need the same two things:
1

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.
Treat your API token like a password. Anyone with it can manage your directories. You can revoke and regenerate it any time from Settings → API.
2

Your Directory ID

The numeric ID of the directory you want to manage. Find it in the dashboard URL when viewing a directory (/app/{directory_id}/...), or ask the AI to “list my Directify directories” once connected.
Requests are limited to 120 per minute per directory — plenty for AI-driven workflows. See Authentication for details.
