Connect Flowgear MCP to Claude Code

This document describes the steps to connect a Flowgear MCP Server to Claude Code.

Requirements

  • Paid plan for Claude or Claude Console account - Claude code for users on Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans or with a Claude Console account.

System Requirements

  • Operating Systems: macOS 13.0+, Ubuntu 20.04+/Debian 10+, or Windows 10+ (with WSL 1, WSL 2, or Git for Windows).
  • Hardware: 4 GB+ RAM.
  • Network: Internet connection required (see Network Configuration).
  • Shell: Works best in Bash or Zsh.
  • Location: Anthropic supported countries.

Steps

  1. Copy and verify the MCP Server URL - In the Flowgear Console, open MCP from the main navigation. In the Workflow MCP section, choose the Environment first, then copy the Server URL and Recommended name together. Both belong to the selected Environment. Open the Server URL, https://<environment-hostname>/mcp, in a browser and confirm that Flowgear displays its Workflow MCP server guidance. If it does not, see how to Verify the MCP Endpoint before you continue.

  2. Install Claude Code:

    • macOS, Linux, WSL:
      curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash
    • Windows PowerShell:
      irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1 | iex
    • Windows CMD:
      curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.cmd -o install.cmd && install.cmd && del install.cmd

  3. Navigate to your project and start Claude Code:

    cd your-awesome-project
claude

  4. Add the Flowgear MCP server, where <recommended-name> is the Recommended name and <server-url> is the Server URL you copied in Step 1:
    claude mcp add --transport http <recommended-name> <server-url>

    The name is a recommendation, and you can choose a different one, but the recommended name keeps each Flowgear MCP server distinguishable. You can add several Flowgear MCP servers at the same time, one for each Environment you connect.

  5. Use claude /mcp to authenticate with remote servers since the Flowgear MCP Server requires OAuth 2.0 authentication. Select <recommended-name> and follow the prompts to Authenticate. This will open a new browser window and redirect back after successful authentication.

  6. Once connected, Claude Code can now invoke tools available on the Flowgear MCP Server.
