# 🔧 Connecting Your AI to Taskr

## 2.5 Setting Up Claude Code

Claude Code is Anthropic's AI coding agent. It runs as an extension inside VS Code and Cursor, with a built-in terminal CLI:

### Step 1: Install Claude Code

Install the extension from your editor's marketplace:
1. Open VS Code or Cursor
2. Go to Extensions (`Cmd+Shift+X` on Mac, `Ctrl+Shift+X` on Windows)
3. Search for **"Claude Code"** and click **Install**
4. When prompted, sign in with your Anthropic account

### Step 2: Add Taskr MCP Server

1. Open the integrated terminal in your editor (`` Ctrl+` `` on Windows, `` Cmd+` `` on Mac)
2. Copy and run the command below—no keys or IDs needed:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user taskr https://www.taskr.one/api/mcp
```

### Step 3: Sign In

Inside Claude Code, run the `/mcp` command and choose to authenticate **taskr**. A browser window opens—sign in with your Taskr account and approve. Your sign-in is cached, so this is a one-time step.

### Step 4: Verify Connection

Check that Taskr is properly configured:

```bash
claude mcp list
```

You should see `taskr` listed and connected. Run `/mcp` inside Claude Code to confirm its tools are available.
