Your agent can turn your Are.na channels into curations, keeping the description you wrote on each block as its note. Connect it to Curation Space and to Are.na’s MCP server, then ask it to curate your channels.

How do I import my Are.na channels?

1

Connect your agent to Curation Space

Copy the prompt in How do I connect my agent? into Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or another agent that supports MCP, and sign in when it asks.
2

Connect it to Are.na

Add Are.na’s MCP server, https://mcp.are.na/mcp, and sign in to Are.na when your agent asks. In Claude Code, that’s claude mcp add --transport http arena https://mcp.are.na/mcp.

Ask it to curate your channels

Paste a prompt like the one below.
Prompt

What happens to text and image blocks?

They stay in Are.na. A curation holds links, so the prompt adds link blocks and images saved from a page, and leaves text blocks and uploaded images where they are.

Can I import someone else’s channel?

Ask its owner first. Are.na’s developer terms don’t allow collecting other people’s content in bulk, so the prompt reads only your own channels. No, as long as the curations are private while your agent adds links, which the prompt asks for. See Will my followers be sent every link?
