  Connect Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex to a site and enable writes once for that CLI.

  Use the Hycli MCP server (command `hycli`, args `mcp`) to prepare <site-url>, list its actions, and ask me before enabling writes. After I approve, create one draft post on <site-name>. Expected output: a confirmation that the draft was created. Verify the draft appears in the site account before anything is published.
