What you need first
- Claude Code, installed.
- Docker, which
gives the
dockercommand the server starts with. - Your own value for
YOUR_OPCUA_ENDPOINT.
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 OPCUA_ENDPOINT=YOUR_OPCUA_ENDPOINT --transport stdio opcua-mcp -- docker run -i --rm -e OPCUA_ENDPOINT ghcr.io/mwieczorkiewicz/opcua-mcp:main-29734c4 - Replace
YOUR_OPCUA_ENDPOINTwith your own value. - Start Claude Code and type
/mcp: the server is listed with its state.
Check it worked
Ask Claude Code: List the tools of opcua-mcp.
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.
