Creator Onboarding
Set up your MyClaude creator account, connect Stripe, and prepare to publish your first product.
You need three things before you can publish: an account, a Stripe connection (for paid products), and the CLI. The whole setup takes under 10 minutes. By the end you will have a creator account, a connected Stripe account for payouts, and the CLI installed. Then you can publish.
Step 1 — Create your account
Go to myclaude.sh/register and create an account. Use the email address you want associated with your creator profile.
After registering, navigate to your dashboard at myclaude.sh/dashboard. Your creator profile is automatically created — you get a public profile at myclaude.sh/u/your-username.
Choose your username carefully. It becomes the namespace for all your products: @your-username/product-name. You can update your display name later, but username changes affect existing product URLs.
Step 2 — Connect Stripe
MyClaude pays creators via Stripe Connect Express. You need a Stripe account to receive payouts from paid products. Free products do not require Stripe.
Go to myclaude.sh/dashboard/settings and click Connect Stripe. This opens Stripe's onboarding flow where you enter:
- Your country and business type (individual or company)
- Bank account details for payouts
- Identity verification (required by Stripe for payouts)
Stripe onboarding typically takes 3-5 minutes. Once connected, your dashboard shows Stripe: Connected and a green status indicator.
| Stripe status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Not connected | You can publish free products only |
| Connected | You can publish free and paid products |
| Restricted | Stripe requires additional verification — check your Stripe dashboard |
You do not need Stripe to publish free products. Connect it when you are ready to monetize.
Step 3 — Install the CLI
The CLI is how you publish products. Install it globally:
$ npm install -g @myclaude-cli/cliVerify the install:
$ myclaude --version
# myclaude 1.x.xThen authenticate:
$ myclaude loginThis opens your browser to complete OAuth with your MyClaude account. After authentication, the CLI stores your credentials locally. You stay logged in across sessions.
Step 4 — Your first product
You are ready to publish. The next step is creating your first product. Two paths from here:
Fastest path — Follow Publishing Your First Product. You will scaffold, edit, and publish in under 5 minutes.
Skill-specific path — Follow Writing Skills Guide for a step-by-step walkthrough of building a skill from scratch.
Not sure what to publish? Read Product Categories to understand which category fits your idea.
Creator profile
Your public profile at myclaude.sh/u/your-username shows:
- All your published products
- Total downloads and ratings
- Stripe Connect status (not the financial details — just Connected/Not connected)
- Bio and links (editable in Settings)
Fill in your bio before publishing. Buyers look at creator profiles when deciding whether to trust a product.
