You connect Claude Code to Projul with one command, using the Projul AI Connect address and your API key. Projul's tools then show up in every session, in the terminal, VS Code, or the Claude desktop app.
Add Projul
You need Claude Code installed and signed in, plus your Projul AI Connect API key. See How do I get my Projul AI Connect API key? if you need one.
- Open a terminal.
- Run the command below, with your own key in place of prjl_live_YOURKEYHERE.
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user projul https://connect.projul.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer prjl_live_YOURKEYHERE"
"--scope user" makes Projul available in every folder, not just this one. The key is saved in Claude Code's config file, so never share this command with the key still in it.
Already added Projul as a Claude connector? Claude Code lists it on its own, with "claude.ai" in front of the name.
Check and manage the connection
Run claude mcp list to confirm Projul is connected, or type /mcp inside a session. Run claude mcp get projul to see its saved settings. A failed connection usually means a bad key: remove it with claude mcp remove --scope user projul and add it again.
Rotate a key the same way: remove, then add the new one. That does not turn the old key off; revoke it under "Settings" and "Projul AI Connect" in Projul for that.
Use Projul in a session
Ask in plain English; Claude Code picks the Projul tools it needs, for example:
Tell me about the Thompson Deck Rebuild project in Projul. Who is the client, and what is the estimate total?
Whether it asks first depends on the mode (Shift+Tab to switch): "Manual" asks you to approve each tool, "Auto" lets a built-in safety check decide instead. Your key sets the ceiling: Read only lets it look, Read-Write also lets it change things. See Should I give my AI a Read key or a Read-Write key?.
VS Code, the desktop app, and the web
VS Code and the desktop app's "Code" tab read the same configuration as the terminal, so the command above runs once. Claude Code at claude.ai/code differs: it runs on Anthropic's paid-plan computers, using the connectors on your Claude account instead. Add Projul there under "Customize" and "Connectors" (see How do I connect Claude on the web to Projul?), then find it under the plus button's "Connectors" menu. A browser session also needs GitHub connected and a repository picked first.
