# framedeck-mcp
MCP server for [Framedeck](https://framedeck.app) — connect any AI assistant to your content production pipeline.
Works with **Claude**, **ChatGPT**, **Gemini**, **Copilot**, and any MCP-compatible client.
## Quick Start
1. Get your API key at [framedeck.app](https://framedeck.app) > Settings > API Keys
2. Add to your AI assistant config (see below)
## Setup
### Claude Code
```bash
claude mcp add framedeck -e FRAMEDECK_API_KEY=your_key_here -- npx -y framedeck-mcp
```
### Claude Desktop
Add to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"framedeck": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "framedeck-mcp"],
"env": {
"FRAMEDECK_API_KEY": "your_key_here"
}
}
}
}
```
### Other MCP Clients
Set the environment variable `FRAMEDECK_API_KEY` and run:
```bash
npx framedeck-mcp
```
## Usage Examples
Talk to your AI assistant naturally — here are three end-to-end workflows:
### Example 1 — Capture and graduate ideas
> **You:** *"I just had 3 video ideas: a knife sharpening tutorial, a Sony A7IV review, and a day-in-the-life vlog. Add them to my idea pool."*
>
> **Claude (via MCP):** Calls `create_multiple_cards` with the three titles. They land in your Idea Pool's "Ideas" stage.
>
> **You:** *"The knife sharpening one is a go — graduate it to a real production."*
>
> **Claude:** Calls `graduate_to_production` which creates a new dedicated production with full stages (Idea → Scripting → Filming → Editing → Published) and moves the idea card across.
### Example 2 — Plan a production day
> **You:** *"For the Sony review, add subtasks: write intro, shoot product shots, record voiceover, edit B-roll, color grade, export final."*
>
> **Claude:** Calls `set_active_board` to "Sony A7IV review", then `create_multiple_cards` with all six subtasks in the "Filming" stage.
>
> **You:** *"Mark the intro and product shots as done."*
>
> **Claude:** Calls `move_card` twice to push them into the "Done" stage.
### Example 3 — Get a project overview
> **You:** *"How's my channel looking? Anything overdue?"*
>
> **Claude:** Calls `get_board_overview` for each production. Returns a summary showing card counts per stage, overdue items highlighted in red, and which productions need attention.
>
> **You:** *"What's assigned to me right now?"*
>
> **Claude:** Calls `get_my_cards` and lists everything you own grouped by board and status.

## Dual Mode
Framedeck supports two board modes:
- **Creator mode**: Productions, Stages, Frames — for content pipelines
- **Classic mode**: Projects, Stages, Cards — for standard project management
The MCP server automatically uses the correct terminology based on each board's mode.
## Idea Pool
When you add ideas without specifying a board, they automatically land in your **Idea Pool**. When an idea is ready, use `graduate_to_production` to create a dedicated production with full stages (Idea > Scripting > Filming > Editing > Published).
## Safety Annotations
Every tool ships with MCP safety annotations (`readOnlyHint`, `destructiveHint`, `idempotentHint`, `openWorldHint`) so AI clients can warn users before destructive actions like `delete_card`, `delete_column`, and `archive_card`.
