Connect to Claude Code

Add Investra as an MCP server in Claude Code and start querying properties from your terminal.

Prerequisites

  • Claude Code installed and authenticated (claude command available in your terminal).
  • An Investra API key — generate one at Profile > Developer.

Add the MCP Server

Run the following command in your terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http investra https://www.investraapp.com/api/mcp

This registers Investra as a named MCP server (investra) using the HTTP transport. The configuration persists across sessions.

Authenticate

Start a Claude Code session and run:

/mcp

Select Investra from the server list and enter your API key when prompted. Claude Code stores the token securely so you only need to do this once.

Verify Connection

Run /mcp again. You should see Investra listed with a green checkmark and 13 available tools.

If the status shows an error, see the Troubleshooting section below.

Troubleshooting

"Unauthorized" or 401 error

  • Make sure you have entered your API key via /mcp. Re-authenticate if needed.
  • Verify the key has not been revoked in Profile > Developer.
  • Ensure the key starts with inv_.

Connection refused or timeout

  • Confirm you can reach https://www.investraapp.com in your browser.
  • Check that you used --transport http (not stdio).
  • If you are behind a corporate proxy, ensure it allows outbound HTTPS to investraapp.com.

Tools not showing up

  • Run /mcp and verify Investra appears in the list.
  • Remove and re-add the server: claude mcp remove investra then re-run the add command.
