Build with AI

One-prompt setup

Install the agent skills, then paste this into Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex. The skill tells the agent which commands to run and what to ask you before touching live settings.

npx skills add hookmyapp/agent-skills --all --global

Integrate Instagram DMs into my project using HookMyApp.
Install the HookMyApp agent skills first: npx skills add hookmyapp/agent-skills --all --global.
Then use the skill to set up the CLI, start an Instagram sandbox, pull env values, clone github.com/hookmyapp/webhook-starter-kit if I do not already have a receiver, and forward Instagram webhooks to my receiver.
After login, ask me for my company details (website, business category, use case). Set them with hookmyapp org profile set. Then ask for my personal phone number so HookMyApp can text me if the integration ever breaks. Set it with hookmyapp alerts phone set, then hookmyapp alerts phone verify with the code I receive. Ask, never guess. If I decline either, skip and continue.
Follow the development advice while building: log failed calls, never retry a usage-limit rejection, keep the webhook route outside auth middleware.
Open the sandbox dashboard at the end so I can verify delivery.

Five ways to give an agent HookMyApp. Use as many as fit your setup: the CLI and Project MCP operate your account, the docs sources give the agent accurate context.

1. CLI

For anything with a terminal. The CLI owns credentials, tunnels, and webhook configuration.

npm install -g @gethookmyapp/cli
hookmyapp login --email you@example.com

2. Agent skills

Install once, and every future session knows the HookMyApp workflows, commands, and safety rules.

npx skills add hookmyapp/agent-skills --all --global

3. Project MCP

Live tools for agents with no shell: send messages, read delivery logs, manage channels and webhooks, publish to Instagram.

https://api.hookmyapp.com/mcp

hookmyapp agent setup configures this in every coding agent installed on your machine: Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. Add --client claude|codex|cursor to set up only one. The credential is written into each entry, so no client needs a separate sign-in; restart the client to pick the server up. For anything else, add the URL and sign in from the client, or use an hmok_ API key.

4. Docs MCP

Documentation search for agents, with no access to your account.

https://docs.hookmyapp.com/mcp

Read-only and scoped to published documentation. It also carries a submit_feedback tool, so an agent that hits a page that is wrong or unclear can tell us.

5. llms.txt

The whole documentation set as one file, for agents that take plain context.

https://docs.hookmyapp.com/llms.txt
https://docs.hookmyapp.com/llms-full.txt

llms.txt is the page index; llms-full.txt is the full text. Point an agent at either when it needs product context rather than live account access.
