Set up Claude Code

Add Charming to Claude Code with one terminal command.

Add Charming

Run this command:

claude mcp add --transport http charming https://charm.ing/mcp

On the first Charming tool call, follow the browser prompt and approve access.

Check the connection

Start a new Claude Code session and ask:

Use Charming to list my apps.

Claude Code runs in the terminal, so finished apps open at their Charming URL.

See Anthropic’s MCP guide for Claude Code’s full MCP command reference.

Build without MCP

MCP is the shortest path here. If MCP is unavailable, or you would rather not add a server, any agent that can make HTTP requests builds the same apps through Charming’s HTTP API. See Build over the HTTP API.

Paste this instead of adding the MCP server:

Connect me to Charming and help me build my first app. Use Charming's
HTTP API. Ask before starting account pairing, wait for me to approve
it, then read https://charm.ing/docs/build-http.md and ask me what I
want to build.

Your agent shows a pairing link and a short code. Open the link, enter the code if asked, and approve the connection. Both paths build the same apps in the same account, so pick one.
