Hand setup to an AI

You don't have to set Reactor up by hand. Give an AI agent the Reactor setup skill and it will:

  1. Install the Reactor MCP in your client.
  2. Connect your services (or tell you which ones need a click in the UI).
  3. Fill your initial engine content — voice, brand, positioning, writing rules, audiences, and competitors — by interviewing you or researching your website.

Get the skill​

Download the skill and hand it to your agent:

/reactor-setup/SKILL.md

It is a standard agent skill: a Markdown file with instructions the agent follows. Point your agent at the file (or drop it into your client's skills directory) and ask it to set up Reactor.

Install the MCP​

The skill begins by installing Reactor's remote MCP server. Generate an API key first (Settings → API), then the agent runs:

npx -y mcp-remote https://app.reactor.tools/api/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

See Install the MCP for per-client config and Authentication for getting a key.

What the agent does​

Step by step, the skill walks the agent through:

  1. Install the MCP using the command above with your API key.
  2. Inspect the current engine with get_engine_config to see what already exists.
  3. Gather context — interview you about your product, audience, and positioning, or read your website to draft them.
  4. Write engine content via MCP tools: update_engine, update_voice, update_brand, update_positioning, update_writing_rules, add_audience, add_competitor, and set_platform_tone.
  5. Check connections with get_connected_channels and report which services still need authorizing.

Connecting services​

Two kinds of connections, handled differently:

Connection typeHow to connect
OAuth channels — X, LinkedIn, Discord, WebflowMust be authorized in the UI under Settings → Connections. The agent cannot complete an OAuth flow for you; it will point you to the page.
API-key services — email providers (ESPs), analyticsCan be added from the app; the agent can confirm them with get_connected_channels.

All engine content — voice, brand, positioning, rules, audiences, competitors, per-platform tone — can be created and edited entirely through MCP tools. Once channels are authorized, the same agent can generate, publish, and analyze.
