Install kasm-use in Claude Code

What you need first

  • Claude Code, installed.
  • uv, which gives the uvx command the server starts with.
  • Your own values for YOUR_KASM_API_URL,YOUR_KASM_API_KEY,YOUR_KASM_API_KEY_SECRET,YOUR_KASM_USER_ID.

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 KASM_API_URL=YOUR_KASM_API_URL --env KASM_API_KEY=YOUR_KASM_API_KEY --env KASM_API_KEY_SECRET=YOUR_KASM_API_KEY_SECRET --env KASM_USER_ID=YOUR_KASM_USER_ID --transport stdio kasm-use -- uvx kasm-use==0.4.0
  1. Replace YOUR_KASM_API_URL,YOUR_KASM_API_KEY,YOUR_KASM_API_KEY_SECRET,YOUR_KASM_USER_ID with your own values.
  2. Start Claude Code and type /mcp: the server is listed with its state.

Check it worked

Ask Claude Code: List the tools of kasm-use.

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 uvx in the config.
The server starts, but its tools fail
A YOUR_… placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
