Claude Code

Add IndexZero to Claude Code with one command and approve it in the browser.

Claude Code supports remote MCP servers over Streamable HTTP with OAuth, so it needs only the endpoint URL.

Add the server

claude mcp add --transport http indexzero https://app.indexzero.site/mcp

Add --scope user to make it available in every project on the machine rather than just the current directory, or --scope project to check the configuration into the repository's .mcp.json for the rest of your team.

Approve the connection

The first time Claude Code talks to the server, it opens a browser window on app.indexzero.site. Sign in if you are not already, then approve the connection. The consent screen names the client and the scopes it asked for (mcp, and offline_access if it wants a refresh token).

Confirm it works

In a Claude Code session, ask:

List my IndexZero projects.

You should get the projects you see in the dashboard. Run /mcp inside Claude Code to see the server's status and re-authenticate if needed.

Checking in the configuration

For a project-scoped setup, .mcp.json at the repository root looks like this:

.mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "indexzero": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://app.indexzero.site/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Each teammate goes through their own OAuth approval and connects their own workspace; the file holds no credentials.

Using an API key instead

If the machine cannot open a browser (a CI runner, a remote box), create an API key and pass it as a header:

claude mcp add --transport http indexzero https://app.indexzero.site/mcp \
  --header "x-api-key: iz_your_key_here"

Removing the server

claude mcp remove indexzero

Revoking access on the IndexZero side is done from the app: delete the API key, or, for OAuth, disconnect the client from the AI & MCP page.
