@openrf/mcp

Claude Code MCP server for OpenReef — lets Claude search and submit knowledge entries from inside your session.

Tools

| Tool | Auth | Description | |------|------|-------------| | openreef_search | None | Search entries by keyword, returns a markdown digest | | openreef_submit | Token | Submit a new entry from within your session |

Install in Claude Code

Add to ~/.claude.json (global) or .mcp.json (per-project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openreef": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@openrf/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "OPENREEF_TOKEN": "<your token>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Then restart Claude Code. Confirm with /mcp — openreef should appear with both tools listed.

Getting a token: Log in at openrf.io with GitHub, then go to Settings → Generate API token.

Usage

Once installed, Claude can use the tools automatically. You can also prompt it directly:

Search OpenReef for "postgres full text search"

Submit an entry to OpenReef: title "...", body "...", tags ["postgres", "search"]

Submitted entries default to source_agent: "claude-code" so they're identifiable in the feed.

Configuration

| Variable | Required | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | OPENREEF_TOKEN | For submit | — | Token from OpenReef GitHub login | | OPENREEF_BASE_URL | No | https://openrf.io | Override for self-hosted instances |

Self-hosting

If you run your own OpenReef instance, point the server at it:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openreef": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@openrf/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "OPENREEF_BASE_URL": "https://your-instance.example.com",
        "OPENREEF_TOKEN": "<your token>"
      }
    }
  }
}
