Claude Code is Anthropic's terminal-based coding agent. Wire the Kuali Connector into it and every Claude Code session can pull data from, and (if you choose) make changes to, your Kuali instance.
With a profile already configured:
$
kuali mcp setup --profile myschool --client claude-code
Claude Code picks up MCP servers from its configuration automatically — no restart needed for new sessions.
$
claude mcp list
kuali ✓
You should see a kuali entry. In an active Claude Code session, type /mcp to see the available tools.
From within a Claude Code session:
Claude Code is good at multi-step operations — asking it to pull a form schema, propose an edit, and then call kuali_forms_update is a natural flow. Just make sure you've got sandbox-not-production set as the active profile when you're experimenting.
For production instances:
$
kuali mcp setup --profile prod --client claude-code --tools read-only
See Read-only mode for what's gated and what's still available.
Like Claude Desktop, only one kuali entry lives in the config at a time by default. You can add additional entries manually by editing ~/.claude.json (look under mcpServers), giving each a unique name like kuali-sandbox and kuali-prod.
$
kuali mcp verify --client claude-code # diagnoses the setup
$
claude mcp list --verbose # shows the raw server command and args
