Claude Code Setup

Claude Code is Anthropic's terminal-based coding agent. It has a built-in claude mcp command that makes adding remote servers straightforward.

Option A: One-liner (recommended)

The --scope user flag makes CloudSEK available across all your Claude Code projects, not just the current one.

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN" \
  --header "X-CloudSEK-Org-Id: YOUR_ORG_ID" \
  cloudsek https://api.cloudsek.com/mcp

Shell history

This command saves your Bearer token to ~/.bash_history or ~/.zsh_history. To prevent this, either prefix the command with a space (most shells skip space-prefixed commands from history) or use Option B below.

Option B: Environment variables (more secure)

Set your credentials as environment variables first, then reference them:

export CLOUDSEK_BEARER_TOKEN=your_bearer_token_here
export CLOUDSEK_ORG_ID=your_org_id_here

claude mcp add-json cloudsek '{
  "type": "http",
  "url": "https://api.cloudsek.com/mcp",
  "headers": {
    "Authorization": "Bearer $CLOUDSEK_BEARER_TOKEN",
    "X-CloudSEK-Org-Id": "$CLOUDSEK_ORG_ID"
  }
}'

Scope options

Scope	Flag	Effect
User (recommended)	--scope user	Available across all Claude Code projects on this machine
Project (shared)	--scope project	Saved to .mcp.json in the project root. Shareable via git. Do not commit tokens in this file.
Local (default)	--scope local	Available only in the current project; not committed to git
