# Claude Code MCP Bridge

Run Claude Code as a one-shot MCP tool so other agents and editors can delegate coding tasks to it. An agent-in-agent orchestration bridge.

## Prerequisites

Claude Code CLI (installed and authenticated), Node.js v20+, MCP-compatible client

## Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
- npm test
- npm run test:unit
- npm run test:e2e

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- Node.js v20 or later (Use fnm or nvm to install)
- **Before the MCP server can use the default bypassPermissions mode, you must first run the Claude CLI manually once with the --dangerously-skip-permissions flag, login and accept the terms.**
- "Generate a Python script to parse CSV data and output JSON."

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
