Claude Code
Add an Odel module or gateway to Claude Code from the terminal
Claude Code adds remote MCP servers with a single command.
The command
https://mcp.odel.app/@odel/calculator-basicclaude mcp add --transport http calculator https://mcp.odel.app/@odel/calculator-basicA worked example. Open this page from a module or gateway on Odel and it fills in with that address instead.
--transport http is the one flag that matters: Odel speaks Streamable HTTP, and the default
transport is stdio, which is for servers you run locally.
Scope, project-level .mcp.json files, and the rest of the command's options are covered in
Claude Code's MCP documentation.
Signing in
Run /mcp inside Claude Code and authenticate when it prompts. A browser opens, you approve
the module or gateway on Odel, and the tools become available in that session.
If it doesn't connect
claude mcp list shows what's registered and whether it connected. If you configured this
through a JSON file by hand rather than the command, the entry needs "type": "http" — an
entry with a url and no type is silently skipped.
Connect your client covers what the URL should look like.
