Build it with Claude

Install our Claude skill and Claude knows your API, authentication model, field conventions and the safe way to do each. Ask in plain English:

“Build me a search page for my movies list.”
“Import this CSV of new releases into my movies list and show me the top results for 'heist'.”
“Add a typeahead box to my site that searches movies and actors together.”

1. Install the skill

Drop the bundle into your Claude skills folder. It works with Claude Code (CLI), Claude Desktop and Claude.ai.

Download the Search Stack skill

For Claude Code, unzip it into your skills directory:

# user-level (available in all your projects)
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
unzip searchstack-skill.zip -d ~/.claude/skills/

Restart Claude Code (or run /skills) and the searchstack skill is ready; Claude loads it whenever your request is about Search Stack. For Claude Desktop, add it under Settings → Capabilities → Skills.

2. Let Claude talk to your data (optional)

The Search Stack MCP server exposes your index as tools Claude can call, so it queries and manages your data directly rather than only writing code. In Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http searchstack https://mcp.searchstack.dev/ \
  --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Grab a key from the console: a read-only key lets Claude query, a read/write key lets it import and manage records. Run /mcp to confirm the connection. The talk-to-your-data lesson shows which tool gets called for a given request, and what comes back.

3. Prefer to wire it yourself?

The skill builds on public packages you can use directly — a typed client for TypeScript and .NET, mirroring the API one-to-one:

# TypeScript / JavaScript
npm install @searchstack/public-api

# .NET
dotnet add package SearchStack.PublicApi

The API is self-describing: point any tool at https://api.searchstack.dev/api/info and https://api.searchstack.dev/api/examples for an always-current manifest and worked examples. The drop-in autocomplete widget is on Components.
