5. Register your application on the Pinterest Developer Platform
   • Add http://localhost:3052/ as an authorized redirect URI

Connecting with AI Agents

The MCP server implements the MCP protocol over Socket.IO and exposes the following tools:

• pinterest.user.get_info - Get user information
• pinterest.boards.list - List user's boards
• pinterest.boards.create - Create a new board
• pinterest.boards.get - Get board details
• pinterest.pins.list - List pins on a board
• pinterest.pins.create - Create a new pin
• pinterest.pins.get - Get pin details

You can connect your AI agents to this MCP server using compatible MCP client libraries.

Example (Claude.ai Desktop App)

1. Make sure your MCP server is running
2. Open Claude Desktop App
3. Click on "Connect local tools" (bottom right)
4. Enter http://localhost:3052 as the server URL
