Claude Code

Claude Code has a built-in command for adding MCP servers, so setup is one shell command.

What you'll need

• Claude Code installed and authenticated.
• A Hourdini Personal Access Token. Generate one at /cli/connect, and copy it now.

Add Hourdini

claude mcp add --transport http hourdini https://hourdini.app/api/mcp/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer hd_pat_live_••••"

Replace hd_pat_live_•••• with your token. To make Hourdini available across all your projects (not just the current directory), add --scope user:

claude mcp add --transport http hourdini https://hourdini.app/api/mcp/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer hd_pat_live_••••" \
  --scope user

Or, hand-edit the config

If you'd rather edit the file directly, the config lives at:

Add the hourdini entry alongside any existing servers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hourdini": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://hourdini.app/api/mcp/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${HOURDINI_PAT}"
      }
    }
  }
}

If you use ${HOURDINI_PAT}, export the variable in the shell that launches Claude Code.

Try it

Start a new Claude Code session and ask:

What clients do I have on Hourdini?

Claude should call list_clients and reply with the list.
