Add my server

Install Dapr MCP Server in Claude Code

What you need first

  • Claude Code, installed.
  • Docker, which gives the docker command the server starts with.
  • Your own value for YOUR_DAPR_GRPC_PORT.

Steps

  1. Run this in a terminal, in the project folder. It adds the server for you in that project; put --scope user after claude mcp add to have it in every project.
claude mcp add --env DAPR_GRPC_PORT=YOUR_DAPR_GRPC_PORT --transport stdio dapr-mcp-server -- docker run -i --rm -e DAPR_GRPC_PORT ghcr.io/dapr/dapr-mcp-server:v0.0.3 --http=
  1. Replace YOUR_DAPR_GRPC_PORT with your own value.
  2. Start Claude Code and type /mcp: the server is listed with its state.

Check it worked

Ask Claude Code: List the tools of dapr-mcp-server.

If it does not start

Cannot connect to the Docker daemon
Docker is not running. Start it, then restart Claude Code.
The server starts, but its tools fail
A YOUR_… placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
