Connect Claude Code to Atlas
note
This is for Claude Code (the CLI tool). For the desktop app, see Claude Desktop →.
Option A: The plugin (recommended)
The Graphite Atlas plugin gives Claude Code the Atlas tools and the modeling skills in one install. In Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add graphiteatlas/atlas-skills
/plugin install graphite-atlas
Then run /mcp, choose graphite-atlas and sign in to Atlas in the browser. No API key or Node.js needed. See Atlas skills and plugin.
Option B: Tools only, with sign-in
Run this in your terminal:
claude mcp add --transport http graphite-atlas https://graphiteatlas.com/api/mcp
Then run /mcp in Claude Code, choose graphite-atlas and sign in.
Option C: API key
Run this in your terminal from any project directory:
claude mcp add graphite-atlas \
-e GRAPHITE_ACCESS_TOKEN=your-token-here \
-e GRAPHITE_API_URL=https://graphiteatlas.com \
-- npx -y -p @graphite-atlas/mcp-server graphite-mcp
Replace your-token-here with your token (get one here). This needs Node.js.
To scope Atlas to one project instead, add a .mcp.json file at the project root:
{
"mcpServers": {
"graphite-atlas": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "-p", "@graphite-atlas/mcp-server", "graphite-mcp"],
"env": {
"GRAPHITE_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your-token-here",
"GRAPHITE_API_URL": "https://graphiteatlas.com"
}
}
}
}
Verify
Start a Claude Code session and type:
List my atlases
Claude should respond with the atlases in your Graphite Atlas account.
