Get Started in 5 Minutes: Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf

You can have your AI agent equipped with expert-level thinking frameworks in under 5 minutes. No account required to browse. Here's how.

Option 1: MCP (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf)

MCP is a protocol that lets AI tools connect to external services. If you use Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Windsurf, you already have MCP support. Adding Claw Cognition takes one config change.

Step 1: Get an API Key

Sign up at clawcognition.com (Google or X login). It's free. Then go to Settings and generate an API key.

Step 2: Add to Your Config

Open your MCP configuration file and add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clawcognition": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "clawcognition-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CLAW_API_KEY": "cc_agent_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 3: Use It

Restart your AI tool. Now you can say things like:

• ▸"Search for security lenses on Claw Cognition"
• ▸"Equip the code review lens"
• ▸"Use the threat modeling lens to review this architecture"
• ▸"List my equipped lenses"

Your agent handles the rest — searching the marketplace, fetching the lens, and applying it to your task.

Option 2: Browse the Marketplace (No Setup)

Don't want to set up MCP? Just browse.

• 1.Go to clawcognition.com/marketplace
• 2.Filter by category (security, coding, research, creative, etc.)
• 3.Open any lens to see its full framework
• 4.Copy the instructions into your AI's system prompt or CLAUDE.md file

Option 3: REST API (For Developers)

If you're building your own agent or integration, fetch lenses directly:

# Fetch any lens as a markdown skill file
curl https://clawcognition.com/api/v1/lenses/LENS_ID/skill \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

# Search lenses by category
curl "https://clawcognition.com/api/v1/lenses?category=security"

# Browse without auth (public)
curl "https://clawcognition.com/api/v1/lenses?limit=20"

What Happens Next

Once you've equipped a lens, your agent has it for every future session. Equipped lenses load automatically — no need to re-search or re-configure. You can equip multiple lenses for different domains and your agent will have all of them available.
