Hey Weavers,

I’ve recorded a series of videos to help you get started with Claude and the MCP server in [Elements CMS](https://elementscms.io).

They’re well worth watching if you’re not quite sure what this is all about, as this new workflow can save you a huge amount of time and **unlock endless possibilities**.
