Claude World Studio

AI-powered content pipeline: from trend discovery to social publishing.

Built with Claude Agent SDK + MCP (Model Context Protocol), featuring 3 integrated MCP servers for real-time trends, web scraping, and research automation.

Features

One-Stop Pipeline

Three clear entry points — no complex menus, just pick and go:

Card	Action	What happens
Freestyle	One click, zero input	Auto: trends → read source → verify timeline → patent score → visual → publish
Custom Topic	Type your topic	Deep research → score → visual → publish
Custom + Media	Type your topic	Research → NotebookLM slides/video/podcast → publish

Live Agent Execution

Watch Claude work in real-time — tool calls shown as collapsible blocks with MCP server badges:

• trend-pulse (green) — 20 real-time trend sources, zero auth
• cf-browser (blue) — Cloudflare Browser Rendering for JS pages
• notebooklm (purple) — Research + artifact generation (podcast/slides/video)
• studio — Built-in publishing + history tools

Rich Markdown Responses

Full markdown rendering with syntax highlighting, clickable file path previews, cost/duration tracking, and inline images:

Multi-Language (i18n)

Full support for Traditional Chinese, English, and Japanese — all UI, system prompts, and pipeline cards adapt:

English	Japanese

Social Publishing (Native TypeScript)

Built-in Threads publishing via native fetch() — no Python dependency. Every post is checked against Meta's patent-based 5-dimension scoring:

Dimension	Patent	What it checks
Hook Power	EdgeRank	First line has number or contrast? (10-45 chars)
Engagement Trigger	Dear Algo	CTA anyone can answer?
Conversation Durability	72hr window	Has both sides / contrast?
Velocity Potential	Andromeda	Short enough? Timely?
Format Score	Multi-modal	Mobile-scannable?

Quality gates: Overall >= 70, Conversation Durability >= 55.

Supported post types: text, image, video, carousel (2-20 items), poll, GIF, link preview, text attachment, spoiler (media blur + text), ghost (24hr ephemeral), quote post, reply control, topic tag, alt text, link-comment auto-reply.

Multi-Account & Persona

• Multiple Threads accounts with independent personas
• Per-account style (e.g., "tech-educator", "futurist")
• Per-account persona prompt for tone adaptation
• Matrix publishing: same topic → unique content per account

Scheduled Tasks

Cron-based task scheduling with per-account targeting:

• Define prompt templates with cron schedules
• Target specific social accounts
• Quality gate enforcement (min score threshold)
• Auto-publish or manual review mode
• Execution history with cost/duration tracking
• Reduced tool set for unattended safety (no Bash/Read/Write)

Visual Content Generation

NotebookLM integration for auto-generating visuals:

• Image cards — slides PDF as single-page visual cards
• Carousel — multi-page slides split into carousel images
• Podcast — AI-generated audio discussion
• Video — slides + podcast combined via ffmpeg
• Mind maps, reports, flashcards, study guides

All downloads stay within the workspace directory.

Workspace File Browser

Browse and preview workspace files directly in the UI:

• Directory tree with depth control
• Text file preview (syntax-highlighted)
• Binary file preview (images, PDFs, audio, video)
• Clickable file paths in chat responses
• Workspace-contained — no access outside project folder

Source Verification & Timeline Rules

Content integrity enforced at the system level:

• Read original sources — Never write from titles/metadata alone. 1+ primary source per topic, 2+ for controversial.
• Timeline verification — Every fact gets a verified timestamp. Time words mapped by age.
• No AI filler — System prompt blocks generic phrases ("in today's world" / "it's worth noting").

Session Management

• Multiple concurrent sessions with independent workspaces
• Session resume on app restart (conversation history preserved)
• Idle session eviction (30min TTL)
• Query cancellation via interrupt button or CLI

Dark Mode

System/light/dark theme with persistent preference across sessions.

IME Support

Full CJK input method support — Enter during Chinese/Japanese character composition does not trigger send. Shift+Enter for newline.

Workspace Security

• AI agent operates within session workspace only
• No access to ~/Downloads, ~/Desktop, ~/Documents, or system paths
• Credentials stored in local SQLite — never searched from filesystem
• Publishing via built-in MCP tool only (no external scripts)
• Session workspace validated at creation (blocks system paths)
• File API restricted to workspace root (symlink-safe realpath check)

Installation

Five ways to install — pick the one that fits your workflow:

Method	Best for	MCP Servers	Web UI	Desktop App	CLI
A. Mac Desktop	Quickest start	via uvx	Built-in	Yes	Yes
B. npm	Most users	via uvx	Yes	—	Yes
C. Source	Contributors	venv or uvx	Yes	—	Yes
D. Build Desktop	Custom builds	via uvx	Built-in	Yes	Yes
E. MCP-only	Claude Code users	via uvx	—	—	—

Option A: Mac Desktop App (Download)

Download the latest .dmg from GitHub Releases, open it, and drag to Applications.

• Double-click to launch — server starts automatically
• No terminal, no Node.js install needed
• MCP servers auto-detected via uvx (install uv first)
• All desktop features included: Web UI + MCP + Publishing

Requires: macOS (Apple Silicon). Intel Mac build available on request.

Option B: npm global

npm install -g @claude-world/studio

# Set up MCP servers (one-time, auto-cached via uvx)
npx @claude-world/studio setup-mcp

# Start
studio serve
# Web UI: http://localhost:5173
# API:    http://127.0.0.1:3001

After install, both studio and claude-world-studio commands are available globally.

Option C: From source

git clone https://github.com/claude-world/claude-world-studio.git
cd claude-world-studio
npm install
cp .env.example .env

# Set up MCP servers
# Option 1: uvx (preferred — no clone, no path config)
npx @claude-world/studio setup-mcp

# Option 2: venv (legacy — clones repos, requires path config)
npx @claude-world/studio setup-mcp --venv

# Start development
npm run dev
# Frontend: http://localhost:5173
# Backend:  http://127.0.0.1:3001

Use node bin/cli.js <command> or npm link to register the studio command.

Option D: Build Desktop from source

Build the native macOS app yourself:

git clone https://github.com/claude-world/claude-world-studio.git
cd claude-world-studio
npm install

# Development mode (quick test)
npm run electron:dev

# Production build (creates .app + .dmg)
npm run electron:build
# Output: dist/mac-arm64/Claude World Studio.app

The Electron app:

• Spawns the Express server automatically on launch
• Loads your login shell PATH (nvm/homebrew compatible)
• Rebuilds native modules (better-sqlite3) for system Node ABI
• Supports all MCP servers (auto-detected via uvx or .env)

Option E: MCP-only (for Claude Code CLI)

If you already use Claude Code CLI and just want the MCP tools (trend-pulse, cf-browser, notebooklm) without the Studio UI:

# Install MCP servers via uvx (one-time)
uvx --from 'trend-pulse[mcp]' trend-pulse-server --help
uvx --from cf-browser-mcp cf-browser-mcp --help
uvx --from notebooklm-skill notebooklm-mcp --help

Add to your project's .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trend-pulse": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "trend-pulse[mcp]", "trend-pulse-server"]
    },
    "cf-browser": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "cf-browser-mcp", "cf-browser-mcp"]
    },
    "notebooklm": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "notebooklm-skill", "notebooklm-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Or add to Claude Desktop App config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json) with the same format.

MCP Server Setup

The app uses 3 MCP servers — all optional, the app works with any combination.

Quick Setup (uvx — recommended)

npx @claude-world/studio setup-mcp

This pre-caches all 3 servers via uvx. No cloning, no path config. Studio auto-detects uvx at runtime.

To update: npx @claude-world/studio setup-mcp --update

Manual Setup (venv)

See detailed MCP setup guide for per-server installation with local venvs.

MCP Auto-Detection

Studio resolves MCP servers in this order:

1. Settings UI — paths configured via Settings page (stored in SQLite)
2. Environment variables — .env file or exported vars
3. uvx fallback — if uvx is on PATH, uses cached packages automatically

Use studio settings detect (CLI) or Settings > Scan System (UI) to check what's available.

Production Pipeline: End-to-End

Step 1: Install & Configure

npm install -g @claude-world/studio
npx @claude-world/studio setup-mcp
studio serve

Step 2: Add Social Accounts

Via UI: Settings > Social Accounts

Via CLI:

studio account create \
  --name "My Brand" --handle "@mybrand" \
  --platform threads --token YOUR_TOKEN

Step 3: Run the Pipeline

Web UI: Click a pipeline card (Freestyle / Custom Topic / Custom + Media)

CLI (headless):

studio chat --message "Find trending topics, research the best, write and publish" --json

Scheduled: Settings > Scheduled Tasks — cron + per-account targeting + quality gates

Step 4: Monitor

studio status                     # Server health
studio session list --json        # Sessions

Security

This is a local-only development tool. It runs Claude with full tool access on your machine.

• Binds to 127.0.0.1 only (not exposed to network)
• WebSocket origin verification (exact port whitelist)
• CORS restricted to localhost dev ports
• Workspace containment: AI agent restricted to session workspace
• File API: realpath + workspace-only containment (symlink-safe)
• Path traversal rejected on both client and server
• Session workspace validated at creation (system paths blocked)
• Publishing via native fetch — no Python/shell dependency
• XSS protection via rehype-sanitize
• Session isolation: WS messages filtered by sessionId
• Idle session eviction (30min TTL)
• Credentials stored in local SQLite only

Warning: Do NOT expose this server to the internet. The AI agent has Bash, Read, Write, and Edit access within the workspace.
