Prerequisites

​
Steps

​
1. Open Claude Desktop config

open ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

​
2. Add MCP server config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "my-project": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["ctxc", "mcp", "stdio", "-i", "my-project"],
      "env": {
        "AUGMENT_SESSION_AUTH": "<session-json>"
      }
    }
  }
}

​
3. Restart Claude Desktop

Quit and reopen Claude Desktop.

​
4. Test it

Ask Claude:
Search for authentication logic in my-project
You should see Claude use the search tool and return code snippets.

​
Done!

Your agent can now search your codebase via the local MCP server.

​
Works With Other Agents

This same configuration works with any MCP-compatible agent:
  • Claude Desktop - Follow the steps above
  • Claude Code (VS Code extension) - Add to Claude Code’s MCP settings
  • Cursor - Configure in Cursor’s MCP settings
  • GitHub Copilot - Add to Copilot’s MCP configuration
  • Custom agents - Any tool that supports MCP stdio protocol
Each agent has its own config file location, but the MCP server configuration is the same.
