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 (
claudecommand 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.
