CLI, ChatGPT, or Claude

You can work with The Prompting Company (TPC) outside the dashboard in two ways:

• The CLI: tpc, a binary you run in a terminal or a script.
• The TPC plugin: you ask an AI assistant in plain language, and it calls TPC for you. The plugin works in ChatGPT and in Claude.

The plugin is one server, the TPC MCP server at https://mcp.promptingco.com/mcp. ChatGPT and Claude connect to the same server, so they have the same tools and the same access. Only the install steps differ. Both sign in with your TPC account, so you see the same organizations and products as in the dashboard, and the same plan limits apply.

What each one can do

For every tool the plugin can call, see Connect the MCP server. Use the TPC plugin when you want answers without learning commands. Ask “How is my product doing in AEO?” and the assistant finds your product, runs the analytics calls, and summarizes the results. See How is my product doing in AEO? and Help me improve the AEO of my product. Use the CLI when you need:

• The same steps every time, in a script, a cron job, or CI
• JSON output to feed into other tools
• Personas, Model council, or simulations and Agent Experience

You can use both. Coding agents such as Claude Code can also run tpc commands themselves.

ChatGPT or Claude

Pick the assistant you already use. The TPC tools are the same in both. Claude Code also suits engineering teams: a coding agent can read your analytics and update content and knowledge files while it works in your repository.
