Install Altr in Claude Code
What you need first
- Claude Code, installed.
- uv, which
gives the
uvxcommand the server starts with. - Your own values for
YOUR_ORG_ID,YOUR_MAPI_KEY,YOUR_MAPI_SECRET.
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 ORG_ID=YOUR_ORG_ID --env MAPI_KEY=YOUR_MAPI_KEY --env MAPI_SECRET=YOUR_MAPI_SECRET --transport stdio altr-mcp-server -- uvx altr-mcp==0.7.1 - Replace
YOUR_ORG_ID,YOUR_MAPI_KEY,YOUR_MAPI_SECRETwith 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 altr-mcp-server.
If it does not start
- spawn uvx ENOENT
- uv is not on the PATH that Claude Code sees. Install it, or write the
full path of
uvxin the config. - The server starts, but its tools fail
- A
YOUR_…placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
