Install GBTI Network Access in Claude Code

Set up GBTI Network authoring access in Claude Code, from installing the client to publishing through the gated pull-request flow.

Prompt

You are setting up GBTI Network authoring access inside Claude Code, so I can publish and manage my GBTI Network content (posts, products, prompts, and my member profile) through GBTI’s pull-request flow without touching Git by hand.

Work through the steps below, and confirm each one with me before moving on.

  1. Install the GBTI Network client. Run:

    npm install -g gbti-network

    If I would rather not install it globally, tell me to use npx gbti-network instead.

  2. Register the GBTI Network MCP server with Claude Code. Run:

    claude mcp add gbti-network -- npx gbti-network-mcp

    If I manage MCP servers through a config file instead, add this entry:

    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "gbti-network": { "command": "npx", "args": ["gbti-network-mcp"] }
      }
    }
  3. Sign me in to GitHub, through the MCP server itself (no separate command needed). Call the login tool. It returns a verification URL and a short code. Give me both, tell me to open the URL, enter the code, and approve. Then call the login_confirm tool. If it returns pending, wait a moment and call login_confirm again. Repeat until it returns ok with my identity. This uses GitHub device flow and stores no secret; once I am signed in, publishing keeps working with my browser closed.

    If I would rather sign in from the terminal, I can run gbti login instead (same device flow), then continue.

  4. Confirm the connection. Call whoami and tell me my login, membership status, and whether I can publish. Then list the gbti-network MCP tools and summarize what each lets me do, especially:

    • add_prompt, add_product, add_post: create that content type and open a publish pull request.
    • publish_content: the general form (also handles a profile).
    • validate_content: check a draft against the schema before publishing.
    • list_my_content, get_content, list_prs, pr_status: review my content and the gate status of my pull requests.
  5. Remind me of the rules of the road:

    • Publishing is for paid members. On a free trial, my drafts stay on my own fork until I upgrade.
    • Every change ships as a pull request through the GBTI gate, and the gate is the only thing that merges it. Nothing here can write to the live site directly.
    • I can publish into my own member folder. To change another member’s folder, that folder owner has to approve my contribution.

When setup is verified, ask me what I would like to create first, and offer to draft it and open the pull request with add_prompt, add_product, or add_post.
