Install Ironscales 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_IRONSCALES_API_KEY,YOUR_IRONSCALES_COMPANY_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 IRONSCALES_API_KEY=YOUR_IRONSCALES_API_KEY --env IRONSCALES_COMPANY_ID=YOUR_IRONSCALES_COMPANY_ID --transport stdio ironscales-mcp -- docker run -i --rm -e IRONSCALES_API_KEY -e IRONSCALES_COMPANY_ID ghcr.io/wyre-technology/ironscales-mcp:v1.2.1
  1. Replace YOUR_IRONSCALES_API_KEY,YOUR_IRONSCALES_COMPANY_ID with your own values.
  2. Start Claude Code and type /mcp: the server is listed with its state.
