MCP Server

Power users can configure Claude Desktop, Cursor, or other external agents to interact with Coder in order to:

  • List workspaces
  • Create/start/stop workspaces
  • Run commands on workspaces
  • Check in on agent activity

Note

See our toolsdk documentation for a full list of tools included in the MCP server

In this model, any custom agent could interact with a remote Coder workspace, or Coder can be used in a remote pipeline or a larger workflow.

The Coder CLI has options to automatically configure MCP servers for you. On your local machine, run the following command:

# First log in to Coder. 
coder login <https://coder.example.com>

# Configure your client with the Coder MCP
coder exp mcp configure claude-desktop # Configure Claude Desktop to interact with Coder
coder exp mcp configure cursor # Configure Cursor to interact with Coder

For other agents, run the MCP server with this command:

coder exp mcp server

Note

The MCP server is authenticated with the same identity as your Coder CLI and can perform any action on the user's behalf. Fine-grained permissions and a remote MCP server are in development. Contact us if this use case is important to you.
