How to connect ASCN MCP to CloudeCode to collect automation and AI agents

Welcome to the ASCN tutorial. Today we will connect the ASCN service with you via ASCN MCP and Skills to ClaudeCode, so that you can use our AI assistant to build automations and AI agents directly through Claude (or ClaudeCode)

First, install CloudeCode on your macOS/Linux/Windows (See the article for all the examples on the macOS operating system) 

Getting started

There are several options for downloading Skills and MCP, but we'll go the easiest way, right through the ClaudeCode itself (if you have enough knowledge, then you can use the commands yourself through the Terminal - most likely you already know how to connect MCP and Skills)

Opening the CloudeCode:

Checking NodeJS

First, we need to check whether NodeJS is working and installed on your device, and whether CloudeCode sees it. (If you've been using CloudeCode for a long time, then there's a 99% chance that NodeJS is already installed and working for you)

To check, enter the following command:

Check if I have Node JS installed and if the npm and npx commands are working

There are two options:

1) (As in the screenshot) You have a version and there are no errors, then we can move on, congratulations on the first step!

2) If you encounter any errors, then you can:Ask ClaudeCode to update npm and npx for you (write it to him in the chat) or download and install NodeJSfollow the link

Installing ASCN Skills

Now let's ask CloudeCode to download ASCN Skills from the open GitHub repository (link), having written the following task:

Super, now install Skills ASCN via the terminal. Terminal command: npx skills add https://github.com/ascnai/skills

If you want to learn exactly how ASCN Skills work, then the details are on GitHub (this is not required to work with ASCN)

During the execution of various commands, CloudeCode may ask you to give it the opportunity to specify --yes to confirm the ASCN Skills set

Super! Skills is already in your ClaudeCode - we can assume that the ASCN tool is already connected to Claude, now all that remains is to give access to your account so that Claude can work offline.

Connecting MCP ASCN

Now let's move on to ASCN.AI

Log in to your account and follow the link: https://ascn.ai/no-code/mcp-list to get to the MCP menu. Create an MCP key:

Then go back to CloudeCode and write the following message:

OK, now we need to install the ASCN MCP. I'll send you the username and password.Here is the data:
MCP Endpoint (URL): https://nocode.ascn.ai/mcp
API key (Token): dfb7ba... (your MCP ASCN token should be here)

Super, now everything is ready to use the AI assistant directly through CloudeCode! Congratulations to you!
