Install for Claude Code

Add Patina to Claude Code so your agent can fetch playbooks and context docs.

Connecting Patina to Claude Code lets your agent pull approved playbooks and business context directly into your coding sessions. Instead of pasting prompts manually, Claude retrieves the right workflow automatically via MCP.

Prerequisites

• A Patina account — sign up free if you don't have one
• Claude Code installed — get it from Anthropic

Find your workspace slug

Sign in to Patina and copy the last part of your workspace URL. For example, the slug in https://patina.so/acme/marketing/files is marketing.

Add the MCP server config

Patina is a remote streamable HTTP MCP server; there is nothing to install locally. Run this in your terminal, replacing your-workspace-slug with your slug:

claude mcp add --transport http patina https://patina.so/mcp/your-workspace-slug

Claude Code opens the OAuth sign-in flow the first time it connects. Use /mcp in Claude Code if you need to authenticate manually.

Verify it works

Open a new Claude Code session and ask:

List my Patina playbooks

Claude should respond with the playbooks from your workspace. If it does, you're all set.

Troubleshooting

"No MCP servers found"

Make sure the JSON in your config file is valid — a missing comma or bracket will cause the file to be ignored. You can check it with a free JSON validator like jsonlint.com.

Authentication didn't start

Run /mcp in Claude Code, select Patina, and complete the OAuth sign-in flow in your browser.

Claude doesn't mention Patina

Restart Claude Code after editing the config file — changes to MCP settings aren't picked up until the session restarts.
