Overview
INGENIOUS.BUILD connects to Claude Code using Anthropic’s MCP framework over HTTP transport. Once connected, Claude Code can securely interact with your INGENIOUS.BUILD workspace directly from your development environment.

Setup
1. Add the INGENIOUS.BUILD MCP server
Run this command in your terminal (not inside Claude Code):

Using --scope user makes the MCP server available across all your local projects.
2. Verify the connection
Run:
claude mcp list
