   • Name: Intend.Do

Setup for Claude Code (CLI)

It's worth considering avoiding cluttering your context window with MCP in this context and just having Claude Code write you whatever skills it needs using the Intend API with your auth token. But you do you.

1. Add the MCP server: claude mcp add --transport http intend https://intend.do/mcp
2. In Claude Code, run the /mcp command and select "Authenticate" for Intend
3. Follow the OAuth flow in your browser to log in and authorize access
4. Claude Code can now manage your intentions, timer, and goals!

Note: If you need to re-authenticate later, use /mcp again and select "Clear authentication" then "Authenticate".
