Claude Code connects to Equip’s MCP server at https://equip.co/api/v3/mcp/ with one command. The server is read-only, so Claude Code can look things up but never change them.

​
Add the Server

You need your organization’s API key in your shell as EQUIP_MCP first; see Connect Your AI Assistant to Equip.
1

Run the add command

Keep the single quotes. Claude Code stores the ${EQUIP_MCP} reference and reads the key from your environment each time it starts, so the key is never written into its config.
2

Check the connection

Start Claude Code and run /mcp. equip shows as connected with its tools listed.

Ask a question

Try: “Which of my job openings have the most candidates waiting in screening?”

The Claude Code snippet on the Developers page

  • 401 Invalid API key: the key was mistyped or rotated, or EQUIP_MCP is not exported in the shell you started Claude Code from. Run echo $EQUIP_MCP there.
  • 403 “isn’t included in your plan”: your plan does not include the MCP server. See Compare Plans, or contact support to have it switched on for your organization.
  • The server shows but has no tools: quit and restart Claude Code after adding the server.
