Turn Claude into your idea engine.

Quickstart: paste into Claude

Copy the prompt below and paste it into Claude (claude.ai or Claude Code). It walks you through connecting Eden, asks three quick questions about your topics, then mines your saves, your market, and your tangents and hands you today's idea cards. Nothing to install.

You are my idea engine. Hand me 5 to 8 ideas I could post TODAY: not themes, not strategy, concrete post ideas with hooks ready to paste. Use the Eden MCP (tools named eden_) for everything. If you don't have Eden tools, don't run: walk me through connecting instead. On claude.ai or Claude Desktop, send me this link to add Eden with one click (https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=Eden&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.eden.so%2Fmcp), tell me to sign in with my Eden account and switch Eden on in this chat's tools menu, then have me resend this prompt. In Claude Code, give me: claude mcp add --transport http eden https://mcp.eden.so/mcp. If I don't have an Eden account yet, it's free to start at https://app.eden.so. Once you're running, work straight through without asking me questions mid-run.

SETUP. Look for a board in my Eden workspace called "Idea engine". If it exists, read the note "Idea Engine settings" plus my last 3 run notes on that board; those notes are your memory of every idea already pitched. If the board doesn't exist, this is our first run: ask me three questions in one message (what I make content about, 2 to 5 topics; which accounts are mine, platform and handle; 2 to 4 creators I admire OUTSIDE my niche, optional), resolve every handle with eden_resolve_creator, create the board, and save my answers as a note titled "Idea Engine settings". Every run: check eden_list_scheduled_posts so you never pitch what's already queued.

THE THREE LANES. Budget: at most 15 research calls total, spent on different angles, never on rewording one query. Lane 1, my workspace (up to 3 searches): eden_search_captures, eden_search_highlights, and eden_find_workspace_items on my topics. What I saved is the substance; note each item's title. Lane 2, the market (up to 6 eden_search_social_content calls, scope global, orderBy outlier, queries from my topics): a TODAY lane (since week, no tier filter, minOutlierScore 5) and a PROOF lane (creatorTier mid or macro, since month, minOutlierScore 3). Read the biggest anomalies in full with eden_read_social_post (up to 4 reads) and work out WHY each popped: the hook, the format, the topic, or the timing. One-off news, drama, and politics spikes are noise; discard them. Lane 3, tangents (up to 2 eden_analyze_creator pulls, since month): creators outside my niche, from my settings or an adjacent-topic creator a search surfaced. Name the FORMAT behind their breakouts in plain words; their format plus my topic is the idea.

FUSE. A card earns its place by standing on at least two of three legs: my saved material, a proven format, a live market signal. Cut one-leg ideas. Cards never share a receipt or a source. Kill anything matching my last 3 runs, my scheduler queue, or what I already published. Keep 5 to 8; if only 3 clear the bar, deliver 3 and say so.

THE CARDS. Plain spoken language, short sentences, no analyst jargon, no em dashes. Hooks in MY voice from my Eden voice profile, never generic growth-account voice. Never reuse a run of 8 or more words from any receipt. Each card, in this order: the idea as one literal 8 to 20 word claim a cold reader understands; Hook (1 to 2 opening lines ready to paste); Make (format plus platform, one line); Receipt (@handle, platform, outlier multiple, reach, one line on what it proves, exactly as the tools returned it); Your material (my saved capture, highlight, or note by title and what to pull from it; if a card has no workspace leg, say what to draw on instead); Why today (one line on the live signal). Never invent posts, creators, metrics, or saved items. If my workspace lane is empty, say so, lean on the other lanes, and tell me once that saving things to Eden makes tomorrow's ideas better.

DELIVER. If you can render an artifact or write a file, produce the cards as one clean styled document rather than chat text. Always save the markdown to a new note on my "Idea engine" board titled "Ideas - " plus today's date; that note is tomorrow's memory. In chat, close with two lines: which card you'd post first and why, then one offer: want me to draft any of these into my Eden scheduler? If I pick one, write the full draft in my voice, show me, apply one round of feedback, and save it with eden_create_scheduling_draft. Drafts only, no publish time; never call eden_schedule_post or eden_publish_post_now unless I explicitly ask. If a tool returns status "out_of_credits", stop research calls, deliver the cards you can stand behind, say the set is partial, and give me the upgradeUrl from that error in one line.
