Use Lumenbase in Claude Code
Add the Lumenbase MCP server to Claude Code, sign in once, and ask about deals, contacts and email without leaving the terminal.
How do you add Lumenbase to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add --transport http lumenbase https://lumenbase.io/api/mcp, then type /mcp inside Claude Code and follow the sign-in in your browser. Claude Code stores the token and refreshes it for you.
Add the server
claude mcp add --transport http lumenbase https://lumenbase.io/api/mcp
Run the command
In your project folder, run the command above. It adds Lumenbase for this project only.
Sign in
In Claude Code, type /mcp, pick lumenbase and follow the steps in your browser. From your shell, claude mcp login lumenbase does the same.
Check it
Ask: List my open deals. Do not change anything.
Choose where it is available
claude mcp add --transport http lumenbase --scope user https://lumenbase.io/api/mcp
Local
The default. Only you, in the current project.
Project
Writes .mcp.json to the project, so teammates get it through version control. Each person still signs in as themselves.
User
Only you, in every project on this machine.
What to ask
- Which of my deals have had no contact for two weeks? Draft a follow-up for the top three. Do not send.
- Prepare me for my next meeting: who is coming, what we last discussed and what we promised.
- Log this note on the Acme deal and create a task to send the proposal on Friday.
- Which past clients have we not spoken to in six months?
