Quickstart

Four steps from sign-up to your first ratified draft. You need Notion, an AI that supports MCP connectors (for example Claude), and, only if you want auto-publishing, a Typefully or Buffer account. Without an engine, Constitute still works through the manual lane.

1. Sign up

Create an account, then connect Notion. Constitute asks you to share one page; it creates your Source Corpus, drafts, amendments and Record databases beneath it. Setup usually takes under a minute.

2. Connect Notion

In Notion, create an empty page, open its Connections menu and add Constitute, then paste the page link into the app. Setup is additive: Constitute never renames, removes or retypes anything you already have.

3. Connect your AI

Open Settings, then Delegates, and copy the connector URL (it ends in /api/mcp).

• claude.ai: add a custom connector, paste the URL, sign in to Constitute and approve the scopes.
• Claude Code, Claude Desktop or a script: create a key in Settings, then send it as Authorization: Bearer cst_live_….

claude mcp add --transport http constitute https://constitute.splashstudio.ai/api/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer cst_live_…"

4. Run the Convention

Say: “Start my Constitutional Convention.” Your AI asks one question at a time and reads each answer back before filing. Prefer not to use an AI? The app has the same Convention as one card at a time.

Drafting unlocks after the Bill of Rights (your red lines) plus at least 15 answers in total. The rest can wait.

Your first draft

Ask: “Draft me a LinkedIn post about why we didn’t raise.” Your AI loads your Constitution, searches your Articles, drafts, and submits. The draft appears in the app with chips showing which Articles it leaned on. Ratify, veto with a reason, or edit.

If your platform uses the manual lane, ratifying copies the text so you can paste it into the platform, then tap Mark posted.
