Connect, create, review, share.
The full creator loop in one page. About two minutes once MCP is connected.
1. Connect
Pick your client. Creating uses the authoring server; reading a shared link uses the respond server (no account).
Claude Code (recommended for a demo)
# Create and file (signs in on first use) claude mcp add --scope user --transport http standin \ https://standin.app/api/mcp # Read or ask any shared capsule (no sign-in) claude mcp add --scope user --transport http standin-read \ https://standin.app/api/respond/mcp
Claude (web / desktop)
Customize → Connectors → add https://standin.app/api/mcp. It signs in in the browser. Details: /install/claude.
Cursor
Download the JSON at /install/cursor, or add the same MCP URLs in settings.
Do not paste a bearer token into chat. OAuth and Connect on home exist so credentials never live in the transcript.
2. Create
In Claude, say something like:
- “Create a Stand In from this repo for the next agent picking up auth work.”
- “File these notes and the PDF as a Stand In, then give me the review link.”
Or from a terminal (after Connect on home):
npx usestandin create --from .
You can also drop a PDF or markdown on standin.app and sign in. Same Capsule, same Mirror.
3. Review in Mirror
Open the review link your agent returns. Proposed items are drafts. Approve what may travel, reject what should not, then publish. Until you publish, someone else’s agent sees nothing.
That gate is the product. Skipping it turns Stand In into another untrusted dump.
Done when
You have published once for a real handoff, someone else read or asked it, and you made a second Capsule without a founder driving the setup. That is the proof loop. More ingest surfaces can wait.
