Use Vamos inside Claude Code

One command adds Vamos to Claude Code, then you sign in once.

Claude Code takes the server as one command. Add it, sign in, and Vamos is available in every session.

Adding the server

  1. Run claude mcp add --transport http vamos https://mcp.getvamos.ai/mcp

  2. Add --scope user to have it in every project, or --scope project to write .mcp.json for your team.

  3. Start Claude Code and type /mcp.

  4. Choose vamos. Your browser opens. Sign in to Vamos.

  5. Check it with claude mcp list.

It worked when claude mcp list says Connected. Before you sign in it says Needs authentication, which is the normal first state.

Where the setting lives

~/.claude.json for the default and user scopes.

.mcp.json in the project root for project scope, which your team picks up when they pull. Claude Code asks each of them to approve it the first time.

Install the skill too

The using-vamos skill teaches Claude how to call Vamos well rather than merely that it can, and the difference in output is real.

Download it from getvamos.ai/skill, put it at ~/.claude/skills/using-vamos/SKILL.md, and restart Claude Code.

If something goes wrong

The browser redirect dies after sign-in. Copy the whole callback URL out of the address bar and paste it into the prompt Claude Code shows.

You are on a machine with no browser. Run claude mcp login vamos --no-browser.

A turn timed out. Ask Claude to read the chat back with get_messages before retrying. A retry runs the whole job again and bills again.
