How to install AgentPlaybooks in Claude CodeAnthropic's agentic CLI

  1. Add the server

    bash
    claude mcp add --transport http agentplaybooks https://agentplaybooks.ai/api/mcp/manage --header 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN>'
  2. Fill in your credentials

    Replace Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN> with your real value. Keep secrets out of any config file you commit.

  3. Verify it's connected

    bash
    claude mcp list
  4. Sharing it with your team?

    Add `--scope project` to write it to .mcp.json in the repository root, which you can commit (with the secrets left as environment variables).

  5. Use it in a session

    Ask Claude to use the tools this server exposes. It discovers them automatically.

What does AgentPlaybooks need from you?

What tools does AgentPlaybooks expose?

This server requires credentials before it will list its tools, so we cannot enumerate them here. Connect it in your client to see what it offers.

What the code can do

This is a remote server — nothing is installed or run on your machine, so there is no local code to analyze. What it can reach is described above: your requests go to the provider's host.

Full README

AgentPlaybooks

One playbook, every agent. A portable operating environment for AI agents — persona, skills, MCP servers, project instructions, and memory in one source of truth.

Keep your agents yours. AgentPlaybooks stores skills, personas, MCP servers, project instructions, and memory in one portable playbook, so you can switch platforms, use several at once, or self-host without vendor lock-in.

Your agent setup stays in sync across Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, local models, and future platforms. The playbook is the portable source of truth—not any single vendor or editor.

It is not another skill store or MCP registry. Skills and MCP connections are parts of a playbook; the playbook is the whole job. That holds for agents with a body too: a skill can carry demonstrations, recordings of the task in the order a robot performs them.

Highlights

What a playbook holds

  • Persona: 1 per playbook, stored directly on the playbook record
  • Instructions: always-on project rules — the AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md content
  • Skills: SKILL.md documents in the Agent Skills format, frontmatter preserved across every client
  • Skill attachments: bundled scripts, references, and templates, round-tripped by the CLI
  • Demonstrations: recordings of a skill being performed — YouTube, a pinned URL, or a LeRobot dataset — with timestamped segments, for agents that learn by watching
  • MCP servers: tools and resources in Model Context Protocol format
  • Memory: key-value store with tags and descriptions, with a native Hermes memory provider
  • Hermes Tools plugin: connect playbook skills, MCP/OpenAPI tools, and credentials
  • Canvas: versioned markdown work documents, scoped to a playbook run, so several

teams can execute the same playbook without sharing work products

Credentials, without handing them over

  • Secrets vault: AES-256-GCM, per-user derived keys. Agents reference a secret by

name and the platform injects it server-side (use_secret), so the value never enters an agent's context. Optional per-secret host allow-lists, and an expiry that is enforced: an expired secret is refused by every path that would use it.

  • Federation: other MCP servers and OpenAPI services become tools on your

playbook, with their credentials resolved from that same vault by name
