Claude Code

This connects Claude Code to the Halyard MCP server so the agent can search knowledge, ask experts, and capture answers. For developers wiring up a single client.

Configure

There are two ways to register Halyard. The plugin also installs Halyard’s prompt rules; the direct registration is the minimal MCP-only path.

With the plugin

Add Halyard’s marketplace and install the plugin from inside Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add halyard-labs/claude-plugin-marketplace
/plugin install halyard@halyard-labs

Using the Claude desktop app (Cowork) instead of the terminal? Add the same plugin through the UI — see Claude desktop app.

Manual config

claude mcp add --transport http halyard https://mcp.usehalyard.ai

Roll it out across a repo

To make Halyard available to everyone who opens a repo, commit a .claude/settings.json that enables the plugin and declares the marketplace it comes from:

{
  "enabledPlugins": ["halyard@halyard-labs"],
  "extraKnownMarketplaces": {
    "halyard-labs": {
      "source": {
        "source": "github",
        "repo": "halyard-labs/claude-plugin-marketplace"
      }
    }
  }
}

Authorize

The first time the agent calls a Halyard tool, Claude Code opens a browser to authorize against your Halyard account. Approve it once; the bearer token is then attached to every request.

Verify

Ask the agent to identify you and run a search:

Use Halyard to tell me who I am, then search the knowledge base for our most recent decision.

Expect a whoami call returning your user and organization, followed by a search_knowledge call. If the tools do not appear, see Troubleshooting.
