Quickstart

Get your Coconut MCP server connected to Claude Code.

Prerequisites

Claude Code installed
A Coconut account at coconutapp.xyz

Step 1: Get Your API Key

Sign in to coconutapp.xyz
Go to Settings → API Keys
Click Create API Key
Copy the key (you'll only see it once)

Keep your API key secret. Never commit it to version control or share it publicly.

Step 2: Configure Claude Code

Add Coconut to your Claude Code MCP configuration. Open your config file:

Terminal

code ~/.claude/claude_code_config.json

Add the Coconut MCP server:

claude_code_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "coconut": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https:<COMMENT>//coconutapp.xyz/api/mcp",</COMMENT>
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with the API key you created in Step 1.

Step 3: Restart Claude Code

Restart Claude Code to load the new MCP configuration:

claude --mcp-debug

The --mcp-debug flag shows MCP connection status. You should see:

coconut: 11 tools available

Step 4: Test the Connection

Ask Claude to check your workspace:

What's my Coconut workspace status?

Claude will use the workspace_stats tool to show your workspace overview.

Troubleshooting

Claude Code shows 'Capabilities: none'

This usually means the Authorization header isn't being sent correctly. Check that:

Your API key is valid (test it at coconutapp.xyz/settings)
The Authorization header uses Bearer prefix (with a space)
You've restarted Claude Code after changing config

'Authentication failed' errors

Your API key may be invalid or expired. Generate a new one at coconutapp.xyz/settings.

Tools return 'workspace not found'

Make sure you have at least one workspace in Coconut. Sign in to coconutapp.xyz and create a workspace if needed.
