Setup Guide

Get set up in
under a minute

Install the Submit plugin and connect the MCP server. Pick your tool below, both steps are required.

Claude Code

Set up for Claude Code

One install does it all: the Submit plugin adds the /submit-challenge command and connects the MCP server that handles the actual submission — no separate connector setup. Takes under a minute.

1
Install the Submit Plugin

Add the plugin directly from within Claude, no terminal needed.

1
Open Claude

Go to claude.ai and open or start any session.

2
Open Settings → Plugins

Click the settings icon and navigate to Settings → Plugins.

3
Click "Add from URL"

Select Add from URL and paste in the following:

https://github.com/easyP-Org/submit-challenge
4
Click Install

Claude fetches the plugin from GitHub and connects its bundled MCP server automatically — nothing else to configure.

All set! Type /submit-challenge or say "submit my brief" in any session to get started. The first submission tool call may ask for a one-time approval — choose Always allow so it doesn't ask again.
