Claude Code (CLI)

Add Trunk's MCP Server to Claude Code

Run the following command to add the MCP server configuration. If you want to only enable it for yourself, use --scope user instead.

claude mcp add --transport http trunk https://mcp.trunk.io/mcp --scope project

Once completed, reopen Claude Code.

Add the following configuration to your project's .mcp.json file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trunk": {
      "url": "https://mcp.trunk.io/mcp",
      "type": "http"
    }
  }
}

After the MCP server was added to Claude Code, users need to authorize to communicate with the server. Follow these steps to complete auth.

Step 1: Start Claude Code CLI

In your terminal, run claude .

Step 2: Run the mcp command

Claude Code should recognize that auth is required. Run /mcp to authenticate, select trunk, and hit Enter:

Step 3: Login & authorize

A new webpage will be opened. Log in with your Trunk account and follow the instructions to authorize Claude Code to communicate with the MCP server.

Step 4: Confirm

Follow instructions to get back to Claude Code. A confirmation should be shown:

Authentication successful. Connected to trunk.

With auth completed, Claude Code will be able to fetch the tools exposed by Trunk's MCP server.
