Claude Code

Claude Code supports remote MCP servers over HTTP. Add Parcel with one command and authenticate in the CLI.

Setup

1. Add the Parcel server

   Run this in your terminal (HTTP transport):

   Add Parcel to Claude Code

   claude mcp add --transport http parcel https://mcp.parcelengineering.com/mcp

2. Authenticate

   Start a Claude Code session, run /mcp, and choose Authenticate for the Parcel entry. This opens the Parcel OAuth login in your browser: sign in with Microsoft or Google, or enter your work email and the 6-digit code, then pick a workspace.

3. Confirm it is connected

   List MCP servers

   claude mcp list

   parcel should appear with a connected status.

Note

The --scope flag controls where the server config is saved: --scope user (default, all projects), --scope project (.mcp.json in the current project, shared with the team), or --scope local (local .mcp.json, not committed). Omitting the flag defaults to user.

Verify it works

In a session, ask Claude to run search_projects. If it returns project data, the connection is working. See Available Tools for the full list of tools and their arguments.

Note

The first tool call in a session triggers the OAuth login. Subsequent calls use the stored token.
