Overview

What is Claude Code MCP Server?

An MCP server that bridges AI tools with Claude Code, enabling agent-in-agent workflows with conversation continuity and both synchronous and asynchronous execution. It lets AI systems programmatically start or resume Claude Code conversations, monitor long-running tasks, and branch conversations from any previous response.

How to use Claude Code MCP Server?

Install via npx or local clone, then add the MCP server configuration to your client’s MCP config file (e.g., ~/.cursor/mcp.json). Use the tools start, resume, status, and cancel to interact with Claude Code. Requires Node.js 18+ and the Claude Code CLI installed and configured.

Key features of Claude Code MCP Server

Fresh conversations via start tool (sync/async)
Resume conversations via resume tool (sync/async)
Working directory support for different projects
Async task monitoring with elapsed time and cancellation
Conversation branching from any previous Response ID
Automatic Claude CLI detection and permission bypass

Use cases of Claude Code MCP Server

Starting new code analysis tasks in different project directories
Continuing a conversation with Claude to build on prior analysis
Running long‑lived code reviews asynchronously while other work proceeds
Branching a conversation from an earlier response to explore alternative solutions

Frequently asked questions

What tools does the MCP server expose?

It exposes `start`, `resume`, `status`, and `cancel` tools for managing Claude Code conversations and tasks.

How does asynchronous execution work?

The `start` and `resume` tools accept an `async` parameter (defaults to true) to run non‑blocking; the server returns a task ID for status monitoring and cancellation.

What are the runtime dependencies?

Node.js 18+ and the Claude Code CLI installed and run once with `--dangerously-skip-permissions` to accept terms.

Does it always bypass permissions?

Yes, it uses `--dangerously-skip-permissions` for full functionality. Future versions will support configurable permission modes.

How can I customize behavior with environment variables?

Set `CLAUDE_CLI_NAME` (default “claude”), `MCP_CLAUDE_DEBUG` for verbose logging, or `MCP_NOTIFICATIONS` to disable macOS notifications.
