What you need first

gives the
uvxcommand the server starts with. - Your own values for
YOUR_IRL_BASE_URL,YOUR_IRL_API_TOKEN,YOUR_IRL_AGENT_ID,YOUR_IRL_MODEL_HASH.
Steps

project; put

claude mcp add --env IRL_BASE_URL=YOUR_IRL_BASE_URL --env IRL_API_TOKEN=YOUR_IRL_API_TOKEN --env IRL_AGENT_ID=YOUR_IRL_AGENT_ID --env IRL_MODEL_HASH=YOUR_IRL_MODEL_HASH --transport stdio irl-gateway -- uvx irl-gateway==0.2.1 - Replace
YOUR_IRL_BASE_URL,YOUR_IRL_API_TOKEN,YOUR_IRL_AGENT_ID,YOUR_IRL_MODEL_HASHwith 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 irl-gateway.
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.
