Individual

Claude Code MCP Bridge exposes Claude Code as a single MCP tool. When an MCP client calls it with a prompt, the server runs Claude Code in one-shot mode, letting it execute file reads and writes, git operations, terminal commands, and multi-step refactoring.

Best for

Agent-in-agent orchestration where one model delegates coding to another
Cursor, Windsurf, or custom pipeline users who want Claude Code as a sub-agent
Complex multi-step file operations that benefit from Claude Code capabilities

How it differs from Coding Agent

Coding Agent is about running coding agents directly. This bridge is about embedding Claude Code inside another MCP workflow as infrastructure — orchestration, not direct assistance.

Install notes

Install the Claude CLI globally (npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code), accept the permissions flag once, then configure: npx -y @steipete/claude-code-mcp@latest in your MCP client config. Requires Node.js v20+ and an authenticated Claude CLI.
