Install Hatchbox in Claude Code
What you need first
- Claude Code, installed.
- Node.js, which
gives the
npxcommand the server starts with. - Your own values for
YOUR_HATCHBOX_API_KEY,YOUR_HATCHBOX_ACCOUNT_ID,YOUR_HATCHBOX_APP_ID,YOUR_HATCHBOX_DEPLOY_KEY.
Steps
- Run this in a terminal, in the project folder. It adds the server for you in that
project; put
--scope userafterclaude mcp addto have it in every project.
claude mcp add --env HATCHBOX_API_KEY=YOUR_HATCHBOX_API_KEY --env HATCHBOX_ACCOUNT_ID=YOUR_HATCHBOX_ACCOUNT_ID --env HATCHBOX_APP_ID=YOUR_HATCHBOX_APP_ID --env HATCHBOX_DEPLOY_KEY=YOUR_HATCHBOX_DEPLOY_KEY --transport stdio hatchbox -- npx -y [email protected] - Replace
YOUR_HATCHBOX_API_KEY,YOUR_HATCHBOX_ACCOUNT_ID,YOUR_HATCHBOX_APP_ID,YOUR_HATCHBOX_DEPLOY_KEYwith your own values. - Start Claude Code and type
/mcp: the server is listed with its state.
Check it worked
Ask Claude Code: List the tools of hatchbox.
If it does not start
- spawn npx ENOENT
- Node.js is not on the PATH that Claude Code sees. Install it, or write the
full path of
npxin the config. - The server starts, but its tools fail
- A
YOUR_…placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
