## Before you call it

1. Keep the MCP URL out of logs and shared config, since the key is inside it
2. Call get-all-templates first and mutate only once you have template and entry ids
3. Ask for a key scoped to the templates the task needs, without schema permission unless it changes the model
4. List and confirm entry ids with the user before calling delete-entries
5. Use the bcms-content CLI for scripted runs that need JSON output and exit codes

## Connect

```bash
npm install @thebcms/client
```

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http bcms "https://app.thebcms.com/api/v3/mcp?mcpKey=YOUR_MCP_KEY_HERE"
```
Full config and headless snippets are in the full page. Through letme (picks today, calling later): https://letme.dev/bcms
