Use Creator OS from an AI agent
New here? Watch the walkthrough first
The founder, @KevBuildsApps, teaches the full Creator OS + Claude Code workflow in depth on YouTube: setup, prompts, and the playbooks that actually grow accounts.
First, get your API key. Create a Creator OS account, connect your socials, and grab the key from Settings → API keys (one key per workspace; agency plans get one per client). Keys look like cos_live_ followed by 32 characters, and each one only reaches its own workspace.
From there, there are two ways to set up. Most people should run the Creator OS agent: the CLI ships inside its codebase, so there is nothing separate to install.
Using Claude or ChatGPT instead of a terminal? Skip the key and add the Creator OS MCP serveras a connector: you sign in with Creator OS and choose read only or read & write.
Run the Creator OS agent (recommended)
Install your own copy of Social Agents, the Creator OS agent. The Creator OS CLI is already inside its codebase, wired up and ready, so setup is just clone and start. You need an AI brain: a logged-in Claude Code works on your Claude plan, or set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY.
$ git clone https://github.com/kevinbadi/social-agents && cd social-agentsCopy$ npm start creatoros social-agentsCopyFirst run is the onboarding interview: Social Agents collects your API key (masked, validated live), your brand, your links, and your automation preferences, then drops you into a chat that runs your accounts. The full walkthrough is in the Social Agents page.
Install the CLI in your own AI coder
Already live in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or Replit? Bring Creator OS to the agent you already use. In any terminal with Node 20+, open your agent in a working folder and run:
$ npx @creatoros/cli@latest initCopyIt asks for the key, validates it live, installs eleven agent skills (including Skool) into ./creatoros/skills/, and generates the agent surfaces: creatoros/CLAUDE.md, creatoros/START.md, and slash commands. Then send your agent one message:
“Read creatoros/START.md and get acquainted with my socials.”
Either way, on that first run the agent checks your connected accounts, pulls follower stats and analytics, and reports back with everything it can do. From then on you talk to it in plain language: “schedule this week’s clips,” “post this everywhere,” “how did last week perform?”
