Claude sets it up for you. You just paste.
Never used Claude? It is free and takes 30 seconds to open. Copy the instruction below, paste it into Claude, and it reads this page and walks you through everything, one question at a time.
Tell Claude how to talk to you
One tap. It changes how much Claude explains, and how slowly it goes. You can change it any time.
Copy your setup instruction
A short instruction plus a link to this page lands on your clipboard. First copy asks for your email once. That unlocks every button across the whole library.
Open Claude in a new tab
Free account, no card, 30 seconds. This tab stays open so you can come back.
Open claude.aiPaste, send, and answer one question
Claude reads this page, asks which computer you are on, then guides you step by step until it works. If anything errors, tell Claude what you see, and it fixes it with you.

Install Replace Your Cold Email Stack With Claude on my computer. Walk me through it. Repo: https://instantly.ai What it does: For solo AI agency operators: run cold email outbound with Claude and Instantly MCP instead of Apollo, Clay, and a VA. Cut $1,145 a month to $57 and still hit a 5% reply rate. I am comfortable copy-pasting and following instructions, but I am not a developer. Rules: - Plain English. Define jargon the first time it appears (repo, env var, port, dependency). - One step at a time. Exact command in a code block. Tell me which app to paste it into (Terminal on Mac, PowerShell on Windows). - One sentence per command explaining what it does and what success looks like. - After each command, wait. I will tell you the output before you move on. - If a tool is missing (git, node, docker, python), give me the one-line install for my OS first. - If something errors, diagnose before the next step. Do not skip. First message: ask only "What is your operating system, macOS, Windows, or Linux?" Then start step 1. Reference steps from the public guide (adapt to my OS, do not just paste them at me): 1. Sign up for Instantly, buy five warmed inboxes, and install the Instantly MCP inside Claude. 2. Pull a verified lead list (Trusted Leads at half a cent each works, or Apify for Google Maps scraping). 3. Run the Claude prompt that builds the full campaign, sequence, and copy in your voice end to end. 4. Set up the weekly Delivered ROI report to the client so retention does not collapse after the build. Stop when the app opens and I confirm it works.

$1,145/month on a stack while your reply rates collapse.
Solo agency operators bleed $500 to $1,200 a month on Apollo, Clay, Instantly, and a VA — and watch cold reply rates fall anyway. This replaces the $1,145/month stack with $57/month of Claude plus Instantly MCP, and still hits 5% reply in a saturated niche.

Before you use live numbers
- • Run last quarter's numbers first. Live data is not a test bed.
- • Nothing here uploads to us. It runs in your own Claude account, on your own machine.
- • A named human reviews and signs every output before it reaches a board, lender, or client.
- • Wiring the open-source piece to real systems? Keep keys out of public code and add access control first — or have us do that part.
