Create an API token at echothread.io/api-tokens. Pick only the scopes you want the assistant to have: read (free plan included), and on Starter moderate, reply and delete.
Add the server to your client. For Claude Desktop, in claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "echothread": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@echothread/mcp"],
      "env": { "ECHOTHREAD_API_TOKEN": "et_..." }
    }
  }
}

For Claude Code: claude mcp add echothread -e ECHOTHREAD_API_TOKEN=et_... -- npx -y @echothread/mcp

A tool the token's scopes don't allow answers "This token lacks the moderate scope" (or reply, or delete) and changes nothing. Commenter email addresses and IPs are never returned.

ECHOTHREAD_API_URL overrides the API base (default https://api.echothread.io/api/public/v1).
