What it does

hampsterx/claude-mcp-bridge is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes Claude Code CLI functionality as MCP tools. It enables developers to integrate Claude's code execution and analysis capabilities into their applications with enterprise-grade controls including subscription-first authentication, real-time cost metadata tracking, budget enforcement, and granular tool-level sandboxing for secure code execution.

How to set up

Installation requires cloning the repository from GitHub and configuring the MCP server connection. Setup involves: 1) Installing dependencies, 2) Configuring authentication credentials for subscription-based access, 3) Setting budget parameters and cost limits, 4) Defining sandbox policies for tool execution, 5) Connecting to your Claude instance via MCP protocol. Detailed setup instructions are available in the GitHub repository documentation.
