Connect Rafter to Claude Code
One command in your terminal, a browser sign-in, and Claude Code works with your team's shared memory — searching it before answering and saving what it learns back.
Add the server
Run this in your terminal.
claude mcp add --transport http rafter https://app.heyrafter.xyz/api/mcp
That registers Rafter for the current project. Add --scope user to have it in every project.
Sign in and pick a workspace
Your browser opens to authenticate — Google, GitHub, or email — and you pick the workspace to connect. Back in the terminal,
claude mcp listshould show rafter as connected.Install the Rafter skill
Optional but worth it: the ready-made Rafter skill makes Claude Code search Rafter before answering “how do we do this” questions, and write durable learnings back.
mkdir -p .claude/skills/rafter && curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/0xksure/rafter-mcp/main/skill/SKILL.md -o .claude/skills/rafter/SKILL.md
Ask something your team already knows
Try “Search Rafter: how do we deploy?” — the answer comes from your team’s skills and memories, not a guess.
Your first five minutes
The connection is the easy part. The habit is what pays: make Claude Code check the shared brain before it improvises. Three things to try in Claude Code:
- “What do we know about [a client or project]?”Rafter’s search answers from your team’s actual notes — with what they cite.
- “How do we [something a teammate has done before]? Follow the skill if we have one.”Skills are the team’s way of doing it, taught once and reused.
- “Save this as a memory: [a decision you just made].”Written back with add_memory — versioned, searchable, there for the next person.
To make it automatic, paste this line into Claude Code’s project or system instructions:
Check Rafter first: search our skills and memories before you answer, and save anything durable back with add_memory.
A longer startup prompt and a ready-made Claude Code skill live in the rafter-mcp repo.
Troubleshooting
The browser didn't open for sign-in
The sign-in URL is also printed in the terminal — open it yourself, then re-run your command. /mcp inside Claude Code shows the connection and lets you re-authenticate.
How do I remove it?
claude mcp remove rafter — same scope flag as when you added it.
Which workspace should I pick when signing in?
The one whose skills and memories you want this tool to see. A connection sees exactly what you can see — your teams and your role — never more. You can connect again later and grant a different workspace.
Is my team's content used to train AI models?
No. Rafter does not use your content to train generalized or foundation models — see the privacy policy.
