Connect Claude Code

The claude command in a terminal.

1. Add LeadsAgent for all your projects. Use --scope project instead to share it through the project’s .mcp.json.
   TerminalCopy

   claude mcp add --transport http --scope user leadsagent https://leadsagent.io/mcp/v1

2. Start sign-in. Or, inside Claude Code, type /mcp, choose leadsagent and choose Authenticate.
   TerminalCopy

   claude mcp login leadsagent

3. A browser opens. Sign in with your LeadsAgent account and approve access.
4. Check it. /mcp shows ✔ Connected.
   TerminalCopy

   claude mcp get leadsagent

1. On the LeadsAgent setup page, select “Create an API key”. Name it for this app and set its expiry and limits. Copy it once; it starts with la_.
2. Set LEADSAGENT_API_KEY in the environment used by this app. Restart the app so it reads the variable. Keep the value out of chats and shared files.
   TerminalCopy

   LEADSAGENT_API_KEY

3. Merge this server into your project’s .mcp.json. Claude Code fills in ${LEADSAGENT_API_KEY} from the environment, so the key stays out of the file.

1. Easiest: add LeadsAgent once in Claude under Customize → Connectors (see the Claude connector page). Connectors from your Claude account show in the Code tab.
2. Or run the terminal command once. The Code tab reads ~/.claude.json, the same file the terminal writes.
   TerminalCopy

   claude mcp add --transport http --scope user leadsagent https://leadsagent.io/mcp/v1

3. In the Code tab, click + next to the prompt box, open Connectors, find leadsagent and connect it.
4. A browser opens. Sign in with your LeadsAgent account and approve access.
5. Start a new session. Ask Claude to check your LeadsAgent account.

1. On the LeadsAgent setup page, select “Create an API key”. Name it for this app and set its expiry and limits. Copy it once; it starts with la_.
