Integration

Contribly integration

Contribly is a newsroom platform for collecting reader contributions (photos, videos, text, form answers) through call-outs called assignments. Read published contributions, assignments, tags, users and forms, filter contributions by assignment, place, date or moderation state, create assignments, tags and forms, submit text contributions and form responses, moderate, flag or like contributions, and export contributions. Media file upload, notification subscriptions, token and credential management and the realtime websocket feed are not exposed. Authentication is a Contribly access token sent as a Bearer token; it is obtained from Contribly's token endpoint with your API client credentials and Contribly username and password. Published content can be read with any valid token.

Connect Contribly How integrations work

Ask it in chat

Say what should happen.
The workflow builds itself.

When this happens, do that in Contribly.Built from the 35 Contribly tools below, on the connection you add once.

What you can do with Contribly

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Assignment, 4 operations

create_assignmentCreate assignmentPOSTCreates an assignment (a call-out for contributions) with its name, description, dates and submission rules. Requires a token allowed to create assignments.

Use Contribly from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect Contribly in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Contribly operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Set up the MCP server step by step

How to connect Contribly

Create your workspace
Sign up free. Nothing to install.
Connect Contribly once
Add your Contribly connection in Settings. Every tool from this integration reuses it, and secrets are encrypted at rest and visible only to you.
Describe the job in chat
The workflow builds itself in front of you and picks the endpoints it needs. Drag the steps yourself on the canvas whenever you would rather be explicit.
