claude-code-mcp

Local MCP bridge that lets Cowork run Claude Code tasks programmatically. Write a task from Cowork, Claude Code executes it in your project directory, output streams back in real time.

Install

Prerequisites: Node.js 18+, Claude Code CLI

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nodej-ai/claude-code-mcp/main/install.sh | bash

Then restart Cowork.

Tools

Tool	Description
claude_run_task	Start a Claude Code task in a project. Returns job_id immediately.
claude_get_task_status	Poll for output and status. Call every 3-5s until completed or failed.
claude_list_tasks	List all tracked jobs, optionally filtered by status.
claude_cancel_task	Send SIGTERM to a running job.
claude_list_projects	List directories in ~/Projects/.

How it works

Tasks run as Claude Code subprocesses with --dangerously-skip-permissions. Output from stdout and stderr is buffered in memory and returned on each claude_get_task_status poll. Jobs expire after 24 hours.

Update

Re-run the install script — it pulls the latest and rebuilds.
