What this walkthrough covers

Connect Claude to Macaly Cloud, build a persistent video idea board, test its data and add publishing and sign-in.

  • How to add the Macaly Cloud MCP connector to Claude Code and the Claude app, then set its tools to always allow
  • How to build a video idea board from one prompt with records saved in a real database, not browser storage
  • How to check the records survive a page refresh, an edit and a new column added to the app
  • What's inside the Macaly dashboard: preview, code, database, analytics, secrets and a testing-mode copy of the database
  • How to publish to a live URL from inside Claude and test it in an incognito window
  • How to change the app's domain and add email and password sign-in so only logged-in users can see or edit ideas
  • The three separate things you pay for: your Claude subscription, a Macaly Cloud plan and a domain you own
