Recipes for driving Stanley from Claude.
Stanley already knows your voice, your calendar, and your platforms. These nine recipes put him to work, from your first scheduled post to a content operation that mostly runs itself.
git clone https://github.com/JayantChopra/stanley-mcp-playground.git && cd stanley-mcp-playground && claudeOne MCP tool, four moving parts
Claude reaches Stanley through one tool, message_stanley, and the conversation carries between calls. That's the whole trick, and it's why every prompt on this site pastes straight in.
Raw material: what you shipped, learned, argued about this week.
Orchestrates. Reads your repos and notes, drives your other tools.
Your voice, calendar, media, and analytics behind one endpoint.
X, LinkedIn, Threads. Instagram waits for your hand, on purpose.
