Claude Desktop Configuration

Add to your config file:

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

  • Linux: ~/.config/claude-desktop/claude_desktop_config.json

  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Basic Setup

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ask-to-code": {
      "command": "mcp-ask-to-code",
      "args": []
    }
  }
}

With Specific Model

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ask-to-code": {
      "command": "mcp-ask-to-code",
      "args": ["--model", "claude-sonnet-4-20250514"]
    }
  }
}

Custom "Expert" Personality

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "backend-expert": {
      "command": "mcp-ask-to-code",
      "args": ["--model", "opus", "--name", "Backend Architect"],
      "env": {
        "MCP_TOOL_NAME": "consult_backend_expert"
      }
    }
  }
}

Multiple Agents

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "code-agent": {
      "command": "mcp-ask-to-code",
      "args": ["--model", "claude-sonnet-4-20250514"]
    },
    "code-reviewer": {
      "command": "mcp-ask-to-code",
      "args": ["--model", "opus"],
      "env": {
        "MCP_NAME": "Code Reviewer",
        "MCP_TOOL_NAME": "review_code"
      }
    }
  }
}

How It Works

  1. Exposes a single tool (ask_autonomous_agent) to the LLM

  2. Delegates questions to Claude Code CLI with --dangerously-skip-permissions -p

  3. Returns clean output (ANSI codes stripped)
