Claude Code Integration Guide

Overview

Integrate CreateOS with Claude Code using the MCP (Model Context Protocol) to enable AI-powered deployment workflows directly from your command line.

Prerequisites

• Claude Code installed
• CreateOS account with API key access
• Command line access (PowerShell, Terminal, or Command Prompt)

Setup Instructions

Step 1: Verify Claude Code Installation

1. Open your terminal or command prompt
2. Run the following command to check if Claude Code is installed:

Copy
1claude --version

If not installed, install Claude Code according to its official installation instructions.

Step 2: Authenticate Claude Code

1. Log in to Claude Code by running:

Copy
1claude auth login

2. Verify login:

Copy
1claude auth status

Ensure you're successfully authenticated before proceeding.

Step 3: Configure CreateOS MCP Connection

Run the following command, replacing "CREATEOS_API_KEY" with your actual CreateOS API key:

Copy
1claude mcp add createos-mcp --transport http https://api-createos.nodeops.network/mcp --header "X-API-Key: CREATEOS_API_KEY"

Getting Your API Key:

1. Log in to CreateOS
2. Navigate to Profile Settings
3. Copy your API key from the API Key section

Security Note: Keep your API key confidential and never share it publicly.

Step 4: Apply Configuration

1. After adding the MCP server, restart Claude Code
2. Close any active Claude sessions and reopen

Step 5: Verify Connection

Run the following command to verify the MCP connection:

Copy
1claude mcp list

In Claude Desktop, if you've already initiated the claude command, use:

/mcp

Expected Output:

✓ createos-mcp connected

If the connection fails, confirm:

• Claude Code is properly installed and authenticated
• API key is valid and has proper permissions
• Command syntax is correct (no extra spaces or characters)
• Claude Code has been fully restarted after adding the MCP server

Next Steps

Once connected, you can:

• Use AI prompts to deploy services directly from the command line
• Access CreateOS infrastructure through Claude Code
• Manage deployments with natural language commands
