# Connect Claude Code

Connect Claude Code to Intangible's Model Context Protocol (MCP) server with one command, then build 3D scenes from the terminal.

Connect Claude Code to Intangible by adding Intangible's Model Context Protocol (MCP) server with a single command, then authenticating. The server URL is `https://mcp.intangible.ai/mcp`.

## Before you connect Claude Code

You need an Intangible account and Claude Code installed. Sign up for Intangible at [studio.intangible.ai](https://studio.intangible.ai) if needed – see [Sign up and set up](/overview/get-started/sign-up-and-set-up.md). Confirm Claude Code is installed with `claude --version`.

## Claude Code: add the Intangible server

Add the Intangible MCP server with one command:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user intangible https://mcp.intangible.ai/mcp
```

`--scope user` makes Intangible available in every project on your machine. Use `--scope project` instead to add it only in the current working directory.

## Claude Code: verify and restart

Confirm Intangible registered, then restart. Run:

```bash
claude mcp list
```

`intangible` appears in the list. Fully quit any running session and start it again with `claude`.

## Claude Code: authenticate with Intangible

Sign in to Intangible from inside Claude Code. Run `/mcp`, select **intangible**, then sign in and approve in the browser window that opens. The status shows connected once you approve.

## Claude Code: verify the connection

Test the Intangible connection. Keep a Studio tab open, then ask:

> Use Intangible to create a project and add a red cube to the scene.

A Studio window opens in your browser and the cube lands in the scene. Keep the Studio tab open while you work; if the agent reports no open project, ask it to create one first.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.intangible.ai/overview/intangible-mcp/connect-claude-code.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
