Layers for agents
Run the department over MCP
Point Claude, Codex, or any MCP client at Layers and it gets real tools: onboard an account, generate and approve content, publish on a schedule, and read what it earned. You never have to open the web app.
One install
Add the server, get the tool set
Node 20+ and an integration key. There is nothing to install globally and no plugin to approve: npxfetches the server on first run.
Claude Desktop
Add it to claude_desktop_config.json
OpenAI Agents SDK
Launch it with MCPServerStdio
Any MCP client
Same command and args over stdio
Node 20+ · stdio · the key is the whole permission boundary
Onboard without ever opening the app
Point the server at a URL and it starts an account from nothing: your brand read off the site, questions asked, a starter plan generated. You get a preview link to look at what it made, and a claim link when you want to keep it. No signup form first.

When you need to look, it hands you a link
Some things are worth seeing rather than reading back as JSON. Ask for a dashboard or a piece of content and the server mints a link to a rendered view of exactly that. You open it, look, and go back to the thread.
Nothing the key can't already do
The key is the entire permission boundary. Its organization, scopes, and limits apply exactly as they do for a direct call, and the server adds no privileges of its own. Run it read-only and the mutating tools aren't registered at all.
The surface
Every tool is a real endpoint
Each tool maps one-to-one to a documented API route. The long-running ones return a job you poll, so an agent can start a render and carry on.
Creative
Generate slideshows, UGC remixes, and video remixes. Read hooks and keywords, upload your own footage, approve or reject what comes back.
Distribution
Publish or schedule to connected accounts, reschedule and cancel posts, read the queue, and set the engagement config.
Core
Projects and identity: create, read, update, archive. Check credits and read the credit ledger.
Measurement
Unified metrics, top performers, ads content, and the recommendations the loops produce.
Framework
The audit log: every action taken through the key, readable back.
