Install ConnectWise Manage in Claude Code

What you need first

• Claude Code, installed.
• Docker, which gives the docker command the server starts with.
• Your own values for YOUR_CW_MANAGE_COMPANY_ID,YOUR_CW_MANAGE_PUBLIC_KEY,YOUR_CW_MANAGE_PRIVATE_KEY,YOUR_CW_MANAGE_CLIENT_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 CW_MANAGE_COMPANY_ID=YOUR_CW_MANAGE_COMPANY_ID --env CW_MANAGE_PUBLIC_KEY=YOUR_CW_MANAGE_PUBLIC_KEY --env CW_MANAGE_PRIVATE_KEY=YOUR_CW_MANAGE_PRIVATE_KEY --env CW_MANAGE_CLIENT_ID=YOUR_CW_MANAGE_CLIENT_ID --transport stdio connectwise-manage-mcp -- docker run -i --rm -e CW_MANAGE_COMPANY_ID -e CW_MANAGE_PUBLIC_KEY -e CW_MANAGE_PRIVATE_KEY -e CW_MANAGE_CLIENT_ID ghcr.io/wyre-technology/connectwise-manage-mcp:v1.8.6

2. Replace YOUR_CW_MANAGE_COMPANY_ID,YOUR_CW_MANAGE_PUBLIC_KEY,YOUR_CW_MANAGE_PRIVATE_KEY,YOUR_CW_MANAGE_CLIENT_ID with your own values.
3. Start Claude Code and type /mcp: the server is listed with its state.

Check it worked

Ask Claude Code: List the tools of connectwise-manage-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.
