Use From the Terminal
Connect your agency to Claude Code for command-line access
Last updated 2026-04-07
Claude Code is a command-line tool for developers. If you use the terminal (also called the command line), you can connect your NotRealSmart agency so Claude Code can use your marketing tools directly.
Get an API key
You will need an API key from your NotRealSmart account.
- 1.Log in to NotRealSmart at notrealsmart.com.au.
- 2.Go to Settings and create a new API key.
- 3.Copy the key (starts with nrs_sk_).
Configure the MCP connection
Add your NotRealSmart server to your Claude Code MCP configuration file. The file is usually at ~/.mcp.json in your home directory.
- 1.Open ~/.mcp.json in any text editor.
- 2.Add an entry for NotRealSmart with the URL https://www.notrealsmart.com.au/api/mcp and your API key as the Bearer token.
- 3.Save the file and restart Claude Code.
Example configuration
Your MCP config entry should look something like this: a "notrealsmart" key with the server URL and an authorization header containing "Bearer nrs_sk_your_key_here". Check the Claude Code documentation for the exact format, as it may vary between versions.
Using it
Once configured, you can tell Claude Code to use your NotRealSmart tools. For example: "Use NotRealSmart to write a blog post for Downscale about weight loss tips" or "Check my Downscale analytics via NotRealSmart." Claude Code will call your agency tools automatically.
