Usage with Claude Code CLI

To use this MCP server with Claude Code CLI, use the --mcp flag:

# Basic usage
claude-cli code --mcp=http://localhost:3000/mcp "Create a Next.js API route to fetch user data from PostgreSQL"

# For Next.js specific assistance
claude-cli code --mcp=http://localhost:3000/mcp/nextjs "Implement server-side rendering for a dashboard page"

# Using with your existing MCPs
claude-cli code --mcp=http://localhost:3000/mcp --mcp=http://localhost:3001/sequential-thinking --mcp=http://localhost:3002/brave-search "Design a microservice architecture for an e-commerce platform"
