MCP Server that bridges Claude Desktop with Claude Code
MCP Server that bridges Claude Desktop with Claude Code
Add to your Claude Desktop MCP settings (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on Mac):
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @anthropic-ai/claude-code on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Once Claude Desktop MCP To Claude Agent is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
claude_code_task — Execute coding tasks via Claude Codecreate_project — Create new project directorieslist_files — List files in projectsread_file — Read file contentsrun_command — Execute shell commandsYou will need one environment variable: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Claude Desktop MCP To Claude Agent's toolset — claude_code_task, create_project, list_files and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by SobieskiCodes; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
