Odel

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-basic
bash
claude mcp add --transport http calculator https://mcp.odel.app/@odel/calculator-basic

A 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.
