## About

Gives an MCP client search access to the Claude Code Ultimate Guide, a community guide covering agentic workflows, hooks, skills, MCP servers, security, templates and team adoption. Answers can come from the guide's sources and machine-readable indexes instead of model memory. The project site describes 17 public tools.

Runs locally over stdio through the npm package claude-code-ultimate-guide-mcp, started with npx. No environment variables are listed, and the project site states there is no first-party telemetry. The guide is an independent community project, not an Anthropic product.

## What it can do

- Search the Claude Code Ultimate Guide from an MCP client
- Read machine-readable references and indexes from the guide
- Look up guidance on hooks, skills, agents and MCP servers
- Find security and team adoption material in the guide

## Example prompts

- "Search the Claude Code guide for how to write a good CLAUDE.md file."
- "What does the guide recommend for hooks that block risky commands?"
- "Find the guide's advice on choosing between an agent and a skill."
- "Look up the guide's security hardening checklist for Claude Code."

## Install

### Claude Code

```bash
claude mcp add --transport stdio claude-code-ultimate-guide -- npx -y claude-code-ultimate-guide-mcp
```

2. Start Claude Code and type `/mcp`. **claude-code-ultimate-guide** should show as connected.

Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project.

### Claude Desktop

1. Open **Settings → Developer → Edit Config**. It opens `claude_desktop_config.json`. Add:

`claude_desktop_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "claude-code-ultimate-guide": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "claude-code-ultimate-guide-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }

    "claude-code-ultimate-guide": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [

### Gemini CLI

```bash
gemini mcp add claude-code-ultimate-guide npx -- -y claude-code-ultimate-guide-mcp
```

This adds it to the current project. Add `-s user` to use it everywhere.

### Any client

Most clients that start local servers accept this shape:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "claude-code-ultimate-guide": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "claude-code-ultimate-guide-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

Zed puts servers under `context_servers` in its settings, with the same `command`, `args` and `env` fields.
