# Claude Code Quickstart

> Get started with Augment Context Engine MCP in Claude Code in minutes

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Local Server">
    ### 1. Install Auggie CLI

    ```bash theme={null}
    npm install -g @augmentcode/auggie@latest
    ```

    ### 2. Sign in to Augment

    ```bash theme={null}
    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):

    ```bash theme={null}
    claude mcp add-json auggie --scope user '{"type":"stdio","command":"auggie","args":["--mcp","--mcp-auto-workspace"]}'
    ```

    Or add to project scope (only available in the current project):

    ```bash theme={null}
    claude mcp add-json auggie --scope project '{"type":"stdio","command":"auggie","args":["--mcp","--mcp-auto-workspace"]}'
    ```

    ### 4. Test the integration

    ```bash theme={null}
    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.

    ## 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 session details

    ```bash theme={null}
    auggie token print
    ```

    This will output your session JSON.

    ### 2. Configure with environment variables

    ```bash theme={null}
    claude mcp add-json auggie --scope user '{"type":"stdio","command":"auggie","args":["--mcp","--mcp-auto-workspace"],"env":{"AUGMENT_SESSION_AUTH":"<session-json>"}}'
    ```

    Replace `<session-json>` with the full session JSON output from step 1.
