Install Ictfax 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_ICTFAX_BASE_URL,YOUR_ICTFAX_USERNAME,YOUR_ICTFAX_PASSWORD.
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 ICTFAX_BASE_URL=YOUR_ICTFAX_BASE_URL --env ICTFAX_USERNAME=YOUR_ICTFAX_USERNAME --env ICTFAX_PASSWORD=YOUR_ICTFAX_PASSWORD --transport stdio ictfax-mcp -- npx -y [email protected] - Replace
YOUR_ICTFAX_BASE_URL,YOUR_ICTFAX_USERNAME,YOUR_ICTFAX_PASSWORDwith 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 ictfax-mcp.
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.
