Overview

INGENIOUS.BUILD connects to Claude Code using Anthropic’s MCP framework over HTTP transport. Once connected, Claude Code can securely interact with your INGENIOUS.BUILD workspace directly from your development environment.

Prerequisites

Claude Code installed

Setup

1. Add the INGENIOUS.BUILD MCP server

Run this command in your terminal (not inside Claude Code):

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user ingenious https://mcp.ingenious.build/mcp

Using --scope user makes the MCP server available across all your local projects.

2. Verify the connection

Run:

claude mcp list

You should see the INGENIOUS.BUILD MCP server listed in your configured servers.

💡 Your personal API key is embedded in the URL above — this is what attributes pushes to you by name. Without it, artifacts show as "Anonymous". Keep the URL private.

3. Start using INGENIOUS.BUILD in Claude Code

Open any project in Claude Code and begin asking questions such as:

Find overdue RFIs
Summarize pending change orders
Review budget variances
Create meeting minutes
Generate project updates

Claude Code can securely interact with your INGENIOUS.BUILD workspace directly from your terminal workflow.
