SignUpGenius via curl (no MCP)

SignUpGenius's session mode is a classic ColdFusion login: POST email+password to the login form, get back a accessToken JWT cookie plus cfid/cftoken session cookies. No browser or extension needed — everything here is a plain curl call. This is the same auth path signupgenius-mcp uses in session mode (src/auth-session-login.ts); its fetchproxy path (lifting the same cookies out of a signed-in browser tab) is only a fallback for when you don't want to put a password in .env — this skill always logs in directly.

One-time setup

export SIGNUPGENIUS_EMAIL="[email protected]"
export SIGNUPGENIUS_PASSWORD="..."
# or: export SIGNUPGENIUS_PASSWORD="$(op read 'op://Private/SignUpGenius/password')"

SSO accounts (Google/Apple/Facebook/Microsoft) and 2FA-enabled accounts can't use this flow — same limitation as the MCP's session mode.
