Claude MCP Bridge Overview

The hampsterx/claude-mcp-bridge MCP server exposes Claude Code CLI through MCP tools for prompts, web search, schema-validated JSON, session management, and health checks. It runs Claude Code as a subprocess, supports subscription authentication by default, and can optionally forward an Anthropic API key. Use it when an MCP client lacks shell access or when you need session resume, structured output, tool sandboxing, or cost metadata. Set the working directory and file context to give coding tasks access to the relevant project material.
