Ascendry

Guides & how-tos

Everything from your first log to querying your guild with AI. New to Ascendry? Start at the top.

1. Capture a combat log in WoW

  1. Open the game menu (Esc) → Options → System and turn on Advanced Combat Logging. (The exact submenu can vary slightly by client.)
  2. In-game, type /combatlog to start recording. Type it again to stop.
  3. Raid as normal. WoW appends to World of Warcraft/_classic_/Logs/WoWCombatLog-*.txt.

Tip: run /combatlog before the first pull — it keeps appending for the whole session, so one file covers the night.

2. Upload & analyze a raid

  1. Sign in and open the home page. Under Upload a combat log, drop your WoWCombatLog-*.txt — one file or several.
  2. Pick each log's bosses and give it a name. A two-raid night can split into a report per raid.
  3. Upload. The file is compressed in your browser, and your raid is graded inside a workspace only your members can see.

Uploading needs owner or admin access in the workspace. View-only members can browse everything that's already been analyzed.

3. Claim your character

  1. Go to Characters.
  2. Claim your in-game name(s) from the list — the names are pulled straight from your uploaded logs.
  3. Your player profile now shows your gear, per-slot BiS, and self-vs-self per boss.

4. Query your guild with AI (MCP)

  1. As the workspace owner, open Workspace → API access and create a token (it starts with asc_). It scopes to one workspace and is shown once.
  2. The moment the token is shown, the page also renders a ready-to-paste config for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, VS Code / Copilot, and Cursor — with your token already in it. Copy the one for your client. (That's the only time the token is visible, so grab it then.)
  3. Ask questions in natural language from Claude Desktop or your agent — e.g. “who's the most-improved healer this month?”

API / MCP access is the headline of the coming Guild Pro tier. The read API and MCP server are a thin layer over the same numbers you see in the app.
