Claude Code

Before you start

Install Claude Code. You can add Ollive for one project, for every project, or for your whole team.

You also need an Ollive login with access to the workspace you want to use. There’s no API key to create.

Add Ollive

Run this in your terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http ollive https://mcp.ollive.ai/mcp

This adds Ollive to the current project. To use it in every project, add --scope user. To share it with your team, add --scope project instead: Claude Code saves it in the project’s .mcp.json, like this.

{  "mcpServers": {    "ollive": {      "type": "http",      "url": "https://mcp.ollive.ai/mcp"    }  }}

A shared setup holds only the address. Each person still signs in with their own Ollive login.

Sign in

1. Run this, or start Claude Code, type /mcp and choose ollive. Your browser opens Ollive.

   Terminal

   claude mcp login ollive

2. Sign in to Ollive if you’re asked. Check the app and the workspace, then select Allow. When the page says Claude Code is connected, close the tab and go back to Claude Code.

Check it works

Ollive should show as connected:

claude mcp list

Then ask Claude Code:

Troubleshooting

• Ollive shows “Needs authentication”: Run claude mcp login ollive again.
• Your browser doesn’t open: Run claude mcp login ollive --no-browser. It prints a link to open yourself.
• You want a different workspace: Run claude mcp logout ollive, then claude mcp login ollive, and choose the other workspace.
• You want to remove Ollive: Run claude mcp remove ollive. This signs Claude Code out of Ollive too.
