Quickstart

Prerequisites

Sign up at app.clickflow.com and create an organization
Connect Google Search Console (recommended — enables SEO data and content workflows)
Set up your brand voice (so AI-generated content matches your tone)

Connect

MCP (Claude, Cursor, etc.)
REST API

Add this to your .mcp.json (or your MCP client’s config):

.mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clickflow": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.clickflow.com/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}

No API key needed. Your MCP client will open a browser login on first use — you sign in with your regular ClickFlow account (the same login you use at app.clickflow.com).Once connected, your AI assistant can call ClickFlow tools directly. Try asking:

“List my ClickFlow organizations”

The REST API uses API keys for authentication.

Get your API key

Go to Settings > API Keys in the ClickFlow dashboard
Click Create API Key
Copy the key — it starts with cf_ak_ and is only shown once

Store your API key securely. It cannot be retrieved after creation.

Make your first request

curl https://api.clickflow.com/v1/api/organizations \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer cf_ak_your_key_here"

Response:

{
  "organizations": [
    {
      "_id": "org_abc123",
      "name": "My Company",
      "domain": "example.com"
    }
  ],
  "count": 1
}

This example creates a roadmap item and kicks off the AI drafting workflow.

Call the platform_create_roadmap_item tool:

{
  "keyword": "how to improve SEO rankings",
  "prompt": "Write a comprehensive guide for small business owners",
  "strategy": "How-to guide",
  "start_drafting": true
}

Response:

{
  "roadmap_item_id": "ri_abc123",
  "workflow_id": "wf_xyz789",
  "status": "In Progress",
  "message": "Roadmap item created and drafting started. Poll workflows_get_status for progress."
}

Then poll workflows_get_status with the workflow_id until status is Completed. The output contains html, title, meta_description, and thumbnail_url.

curl -X POST https://api.clickflow.com/v1/api/roadmap-items \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer cf_ak_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "keyword": "how to improve SEO rankings",
    "prompt": "Write a comprehensive guide for small business owners",
    "strategy": "How-to guide",
    "start_drafting": true
  }'

Then poll the workflow:

curl https://api.clickflow.com/v1/api/workflows/wf_xyz789/status \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer cf_ak_your_key_here"
