Claude Code

Option A: MCP server

npx @cadenza/mcp-server install claude-code

Then link your account:

npx cadenza connect

connect opens a browser approval. You sign in, approve the scopes, and a scoped key is minted server-side and delivered to the client exactly once. No credential is pasted into any config file, and you can revoke the connection at any time.

Option B: the plugin

/plugin marketplace add nikegunn/cadenza
/plugin install cadenza@cadenza-marketplace

The plugin bundles the MCP tools plus /connect and /direct slash commands, a creative-director agent, and a directing skill that teaches the plan-first loop.

Expected behavior

Ask for a video and the agent plans first: it calls the free planning tools, shows you the arc and the artifact-risk score, and only generates when the plan is sound. Confirmation is expected before billable work and before any publish.

Uninstall

/plugin uninstall cadenza removes the plugin; removing the server from .mcp.json removes the MCP connection. Revoke the connection key from your account at any time.
