Quick Start with Claude Code

​
1. Install Auggie CLI (Pre-release version)

npm install -g @augmentcode/auggie@prerelease

​
2. Sign in to Augment

auggie login
This will open a browser window for authentication.

​
3. Configure the MCP server in Claude Code

Add the MCP server to user scope (available in all projects): 
claude mcp add-json auggie-mcp --scope user '{"type":"stdio","command":"auggie","args":["--mcp"]}'
Or add to project scope (only available in the current project): 
claude mcp add-json auggie-mcp --scope project '{"type":"stdio","command":"auggie","args":["--mcp"]}'

​
4. Test the integration

claude --print "Do you have access to the Augment codebase retrieval tool? Answer in one sentence."
Claude should confirm it has access to the codebase-retrieval tool.

​
Configuration

​
Workspace Root

Specify the workspace to index by adding the -w argument: 
claude mcp add-json auggie-mcp --scope user '{"type":"stdio","command":"auggie","args":["-w","/path/to/project","--mcp"]}'
Update /path/to/project with your actual project path.

​
Advanced: Non-Interactive Setup

For non-interactive environments like CI/CD pipelines, GitHub Actions, or automated scripts where you cannot run auggie login interactively, you can configure authentication using environment variables.

​
1. Get your authentication token

auggie token print
This will output something like: 
TOKEN={"accessToken":"your-access-token","tenantURL":"your-tenant-url","scopes":["read","write"]}
Copy the accessToken value (the long string after "accessToken":") and the tenantURL value.

​
2. Configure with environment variables

claude mcp add-json auggie-mcp --scope user '{"type":"stdio","command":"auggie","args":["--mcp"],"env":{"AUGMENT_API_TOKEN":"your-access-token","AUGMENT_API_URL":"your-tenant-url"}}'
Replace your-access-token and your-tenant-url with the values from step 1. For a specific workspace: 
claude mcp add-json auggie-mcp --scope user '{"type":"stdio","command":"auggie","args":["-w","/path/to/project","--mcp"],"env":{"AUGMENT_API_TOKEN":"your-access-token","AUGMENT_API_URL":"your-tenant-url"}}'
