Authentication
Pinterest uses OAuth 2.0. You need a Pinterest Business account and a registered app.
- Create an app at developers.pinterest.com
- Add redirect URI:
http://localhost:8089/callback - Copy Client ID + Client Secret to
.env(see.env.template) - Run the auth flow to generate your access token:
pinterest-mcp-auth
This opens a browser, asks you to authorize, and saves your token to .pinterest_token.json.
