Claude Code

🚧 Prototype

The Dataddo MCP server is an early prototype. See the Dataddo MCP Server overview for its current capabilities and roadmap.

Connect the Dataddo MCP server to Claude Code, Anthropic's agentic coding tool. Claude Code fully supports remote MCP servers with static Bearer tokens.

Prerequisites

• A Dataddo API access token. See Headless API Authorization.
• Claude Code installed.

Setup

Run:

claude mcp add --transport http dataddo https://headless.dataddo.com/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN>"

By default the server is added for the current project only. Add --scope user (before the server name) to make it available in all your projects.

Alternatively, configure it declaratively - for example in a project's .mcp.json, reading the token from an environment variable so it is not stored in the file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dataddo": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://headless.dataddo.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${DATADDO_TOKEN}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: if DATADDO_TOKEN is not set, Claude Code fails to parse the configuration. Never commit a config file containing a raw token to version control.

Verify the connection inside a Claude Code session with the /mcp command - the dataddo server should be listed as connected.

Try It Out

Ask Claude Code:

Using the Dataddo tools, what is the current time in UTC?

Troubleshooting

• Connection reported as failed. If the configured Authorization header is rejected by the server, Claude Code reports the connection as failed. Your access token may have expired - generate a fresh one and re-add the server. See Authorization.
• Server not listed in /mcp. Check the scope: a server added with the default scope is only visible in the project where you added it.
