GuidesMCP Client Setup
Claude Code
Add Astrocal to Claude Code with a single terminal command.
Claude Code manages MCP servers from the command line. Add Astrocal in one step:
claude mcp add astrocal -e ASTROCAL_API_KEY=ac_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- npx -y @astrocal/mcp-serverReplace the placeholder with your real key. To set a default event type so you don't pass it on every call, add another flag:
claude mcp add astrocal \
-e ASTROCAL_API_KEY=ac_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx \
-e ASTROCAL_DEFAULT_EVENT_TYPE_ID=evt_your_default \
-- npx -y @astrocal/mcp-serverRun claude mcp list to confirm astrocal is connected, then ask Claude to check your availability.
The AI Tools screen generates this command pre-filled with a key you create there.
