Connect your AI to iGloo

By the iGloo team6 min

The AI you already use, given hands. One connector setup links it to your community — then posting, scheduling and course-building become things you say, not things you click.

1

Create your API key

iGloo does not ship its own chatbot — it plugs into the AI you already pay for. Open Account → Developer and create an API key: that key is how your Claude or ChatGPT gets hands.

Copy the key somewhere safe when it is shown — iGloo stores only a hash, so it cannot show you again later.

Connect Claude — or any AI you use

In your AI — Claude or ChatGPT — add a connector pointing at app.iglooapp.com/api/mcp with your API key. That is the Model Context Protocol: an open standard, no iGloo lock-in.

That is the entire setup. When the AI shows Connected, it can act in your community — as you, with your key, only as far as your role allows.

💡 Do this once per AI. If you use Claude at your desk and ChatGPT on your phone, connect both — same key works.

Say your first command

Go to your AI and just ask: “Draft this week’s discussion post for my community.” Watch it happen — the AI writes, iGloo publishes, and the post is live in your feed seconds later.

That loop — say it, see it done — is the whole point. No dashboard safari, no settings archaeology.

Give it the busywork

Everything routine is now a sentence: schedule the weekly call, draft the discussion post, build a whole course with modules and lessons, set joining questions, wire level rewards. Each command maps to a real iGloo action — the same ones you could do by hand, minus the hand.

Chain them: “Build my new course — four lessons — and schedule a kickoff call for Thursday.” The AI works through it step by step.

💡 Start each morning by telling your AI what the community needs today. Ten seconds of instruction replaces thirty minutes of clicking.

Stay in charge

Everything the AI does is visible in your community the moment it happens — posts, events, courses, rewards. It is all normal iGloo content that belongs to you and edits like anything else.

The AI drafts and executes; you set direction and taste. If something is not right, change it or ask the AI to — either way you are one sentence from fixed. And revoking the key in Account → Developer switches it all off instantly.

If something is not working

My AI cannot see iGloo: check the connector URL is exactly app.iglooapp.com/api/mcp and re-paste the API key — a truncated paste is the usual culprit.

A command did nothing: ask the AI what happened. It will tell you what it tried and what it needs — usually a missing detail like which group or which date.

I want to undo something: everything the AI creates is normal iGloo content. Edit or delete it like anything else, or tell the AI to.
