# Are.na

> Your agent can turn your Are.na channels into curations through Are.na's own MCP server, keeping each block's description as its note.

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?](https://docs.curation.space/mcp-server.md#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://github.com/aredotna/mcp), `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`.

**3. Ask it to curate your channels**

Paste a prompt like the one below.

```text Prompt wrap theme={"theme":"css-variables"}
Using the Are.na MCP server, read my own Are.na channels and their blocks, and curate them into Curation Space.

Make one private curation for each channel, with the channel's name as its title. Before adding anything, show me the curations you'd make and how many links would go in each, and wait for my go-ahead. Then add each link block's source address, newest first, and use the block's description as its note. Skip text blocks, and add an image block only if it came from a web page, using that page's address.
```

## 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](https://www.are.na/developers/explore) don't allow collecting other people's content in bulk, so the prompt reads only your own channels.

## Will my followers be sent every link?

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?](https://docs.curation.space/import/anywhere.md#will-my-followers-be-sent-every-link)
