  description: 'Programmatic access to your DC membership data — trips, events, profile, announcements, and more. Designed for AI assistants, automation, and personal integrations. > **For ALL active DC members.** Every active DC member is eligible from day one — DC, DC BLACK, and trial accounts alike. ## What this is for


    The DC Member API is for **personal use** — wiring DC into your own AI assistant, scripting personal automations, pulling your own data into your own dashboards. Think "give my Claude/Codex/Cursor access to my DC trips and announcements" or "auto-update my DC trip when I book a flight."


    **It is not for:**


    - Building apps that other DC members log into (use the official DC app)

    - Crawling, scraping, or bulk-exporting member data

    - Building an alternative DC client

    - Public-facing services running on top of the API


    We **augment, we don''t replace** — the API gives you awareness and convenience, then sends you to the app for the real interactions. Human stuff stays in the app: no message content, no DM access, no bulk profile browsing, no discussion threads. **Rate limits are strict on purpose.** They''re sized for personal automation, not application traffic. We''ll loosen them once we see real usage patterns — if you hit a wall, email the DC developer team at **bugs+api@dynamitecircle.com** and we''ll sort you out. ## Connect to Claude & other AI apps (hosted MCP)


    This API is also a hosted MCP server — add it as a connector in Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible app and your assistant can read and act on your DC data directly. **No install.** When prompted, **sign in with your DC account** (one-click OAuth) — or paste a `dk_` API key. Every endpoint below is exposed as a tool. **Connector URL** (Streamable HTTP): `https://api.dynamitecircle.com/mcp`


    - **Claude (web, Desktop & mobile):** Settings → Connectors → **Add custom connector** → paste the URL → **Connect**, then sign in with your DC account. (Paid Claude plan; on Team/Enterprise an admin may need to approve it first.)

    - **Claude Code:** `claude mcp add --transport http dc https://api.dynamitecircle.com/mcp`

    - **Cursor, ChatGPT & other MCP apps:** add a custom / remote MCP connector pointing at the URL above (Streamable HTTP). Discovery is published at `/.well-known/mcp.json`. **What you can do once connected** — ask in plain language, e.g. "Which DCBKK sessions have I bookmarked?", "Add a trip to Lisbon and show me which DCers will be around", "RSVP me to the next Bangkok meetup", "Summarize the latest announcements." Reads run freely; writes do exactly what the matching endpoint documents. Access is scoped to **you** — the connector only ever sees your own membership data. ## Official client — Agent Skill, CLI, Python library, MCP server


    The fastest way to use this API — and to plug it into Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or Claude Desktop — is the **official DC client**. One self-contained Python file, stdlib only, that ships as **four integrations from the same source**: Agent Skill (auto-discovered via SKILL.md), CLI (`dc …`), Python library (`from dc import DC`), and MCP server (`dc --mcp`, optional `mcp` dep). **Install via PyPI** (easiest):


    ```bash

    pip install dynamitecircle

    dc setup --api-key dk_your_api_key

    dc self-test

    dc profile

    ```


    The package is published on PyPI as `dynamitecircle` — same code as the repo, version-locked to the deployed API.'
