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. Verify the MCP Server URL - Copy the Environment hostname from the Flowgear Console, then open 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. Get the MCP Server URL from the Flowgear Console. Click Create → MCP, select the target Environment in the Env dropdown, and copy Server URL. Then add the Flowgear MCP server, where <url> is the URL you copied:
    claude mcp add --transport http <name> <url>

  5. Use claude /mcp to authenticate with remote servers since the Flowgear MCP Server requires OAuth 2.0 authentication. 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.
