# Getting Started with Claude Code This guide will help you set up the Bing Webmaster Tools MCP server with Claude Code. ## Prerequisites - Claude Code CLI installed ([Download here](https://claude.ai/code)) - Node.js 16+ installed - Bing Webmaster API key ([Get it here](https://www.bing.com/webmasters)) ## Setup Steps ### 1. Add the MCP Server with API Key Choose one of the following methods: #### Option A: Inline Environment Variable (Recommended) Add the server with your API key in one command: ```bash claude mcp add bing-webmaster -e BING_WEBMASTER_API_KEY=your_api_key_here -- npx -y @isiahw1/mcp-server-bing-webmaster@latest ``` #### Option B: Using System Environment Variable First set the environment variable: ```bash export BING_WEBMASTER_API_KEY="your_api_key_here" ``` Then add the server: ```bash claude mcp add bing-webmaster -- npx -y @isiahw1/mcp-server-bing-webmaster@latest ``` #### Option C: Using .env File Create a `.env` file in your project directory: ``` BING_WEBMASTER_API_KEY=your_api_key_here ``` Then add the server: ```bash claude mcp add bing-webmaster -- npx -y @isiahw1/mcp-server-bing-webmaster@latest ``` ### 2. Launch Claude Code ```bash claude ``` ## Verify Installation Once launched, try these commands to verify the setup: ``` "Show me all my sites in Bing Webmaster Tools" "What's my URL submission quota?" ``` ## Troubleshooting ### Enable Debug Mode If you're experiencing issues, run Claude Code with debug logging: ```bash claude --mcp-debug ``` ### Common Issues **"Cannot find MCP server" error:** - Ensure you've run the `claude mcp add` command - Check that Node.js is installed: `node --version` **"Invalid API key" error:** - Verify your API key is correct - Make sure the environment variable is set: `echo $BING_WEBMASTER_API_KEY` **"spawn ENOENT" error:** - This usually means npx can't be found - Ensure Node.js and npm are in your PATH ### Checking Logs Look for messages like: ``` MCP server "bing-webmaster" Server stderr: Starting Bing Webmaster MCP server... ``` ## Advanced Usage ### Using a Specific Version ```bash claude mcp add bing-webmaster -e BING_WEBMASTER_API_KEY=your_api_key_here -- npx -y @isiahw1/mcp-server-bing-webmaster@1.0.1 ``` ### Using Local Development Version ```bash # From your development directory cd /path/to/mcp-server-bing-webmaster claude mcp add bing-webmaster-dev -e BING_WEBMASTER_API_KEY=your_api_key_here -- uv run python -m mcp_server_bwt ``` ### Multiple Environment Variables You can pass multiple environment variables using multiple `-e` flags: ```bash claude mcp add bing-webmaster \ -e BING_WEBMASTER_API_KEY=your_api_key_here \ -e LOG_LEVEL=debug \ -- npx -y @isiahw1/mcp-server-bing-webmaster@latest ``` ## Next Steps - Explore the [full list of available tools](../README.md#available-tools) - Check out [usage examples](../README.md#usage-examples) - Learn about [API quotas and limits](https://www.bing.com/webmaster/help/webmaster-api-limits) ## Support If you encounter issues: 1.
