Tell Claude Code to use Shipp¶

Tell Claude to use the skill

Use the skill for Shipp, download from https://shipp.ai/SKILL.md

mkdir -p ~/.codex/skills/shipp && curl -fsSL "https://shipp.ai/SKILL.md" > ~/.claude/skills/shipp/SKILL.md

This lets Claude know it should use Shipp as the real-time data layer for your app.

Add Shipp API Key to your project¶

Create your Shipp Account¶

Sign up to Shipp. Once logged in, you can manage data connections & API access.

Get your Shipp API Key¶

In the Shipp dashboard, go to API Keys and copy your API Key

Add key to .env¶

Return to your terminal

Navigate to your project

cd <My Project Path>

Now add your API Key to the .env file.

echo 'SHIPP_API_KEY=shipp-live-123-your-api-key' > .env

More than likely, Claude is using the variable name SHIPP_API_KEY. If you have any authentication issues, ask claude to verify that the key is correctly set.

Final Step - Test the Connection¶

Claude is resourceful and likely needs to iterate a few times. Instruct Claude to test the integration and verify your app works.
