Connect Flowgear MCP to Claude Code

MCP Server is currently in preview.

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.

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

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
Navigate to your project and start Claude Code:
```
 cd your-awesome-project
 claude
```
Add the Flowgear MCP server, where <url> refers to the Flowgear MCP URL that can be found in Workflow Settings when a Workflow is published as an MCP tool:

claude mcp add --transport http <name> <url>
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.
Once connected, Claude Code can now invoke tools available on the Flowgear MCP Server.
