claude-code-mcp

Overview

The claude-code-mcp server acts as an intermediary that allows other applications to leverage Claude Code's capabilities through the Model Context Protocol. It receives JSON-formatted requests via stdio, processes them using Base64 encoding to handle special characters, executes the appropriate Claude Code commands, and returns results. The implementation uses Node.js with the MCP SDK, focusing on stability and flexibility when handling natural language text that might contain special characters.
