Agents

Connect via MCP

The recommended path: one workspace-scoped connection to list, search, read, create, comment, suggest, edit, and publish. Mint a token in Slant under Settings → AI agents — you choose its scope and permission level — then add the server:

claude mcp add --transport http slant https://slant.page/api/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer <token>"

Any MCP client works: streamable HTTP at https://slant.page/api/mcp with an Authorization: Bearer header.

Install the skill

The Slant skill teaches an agent to publish local markdown as a Slant doc and to collaborate on any document it's handed a share link for — no MCP required. It keeps itself up to date.

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/slant && curl -fsSL https://slant.page/SKILL.md -o ~/.claude/skills/slant/SKILL.md

For Codex, install to ~/.codex/skills/slant/ instead.

Use the CLI

slant-cli is a zero-dependency wrapper over the same endpoints — publish, read, edit, comment, suggest, and share from a terminal or a script, with --json on every command. slant login opens a browser to approve — no key to paste.

npm install -g slant-cli && slant login

Or just tell your agent

Paste this prompt into any coding agent and it will set itself up:

Set up Slant (slant.page) for me:
1. Install the Slant skill: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/slant && curl -fsSL https://slant.page/SKILL.md -o ~/.claude/skills/slant/SKILL.md
2. If you support MCP, add the Slant server: claude mcp add --transport http slant https://slant.page/api/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer <token>" — ask me for the token; I can mint one in Slant under Settings → AI agents.
3. Confirm the setup by listing the Slant tools or helpers now available.
