# Configure Claude Code

> Connect Claude Code to the Suggix MCP server.

Connect Claude Code to Suggix so it can use feedback, roadmap, changelog, and workspace context in your coding workflow.

## Add the API key

Set the MCP API key in your shell environment:

```bash theme={null}
export SUGGIX_MCP_API_KEY="sgx_mcp_your_key"
```

For a persistent local setup, add this variable to your shell profile or secret manager. Do not add the raw key to a committed project file.

## Add the MCP server

Create or update `.mcp.json` in your project root for a project-scoped connection:

```json theme={null}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "suggix": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.suggix.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${SUGGIX_MCP_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Claude Code asks you to approve project-scoped MCP servers before using them. Use a user-scoped configuration instead when you want the Suggix connection available across all local projects.

## Verify the connection

Run:

```bash theme={null}
claude mcp list
```

Start Claude Code in the project and ask a question that needs Suggix data, for example: `Summarize the highest-voted feedback for this product area.`

## Troubleshooting

* Confirm the endpoint is exactly `https://mcp.suggix.com/mcp`.
* Confirm the API key starts with `sgx_mcp_`.
* Check that `SUGGIX_MCP_API_KEY` is available to the terminal session that launches Claude Code.
* Revoke and recreate the key in Developer Settings if it may have been exposed.
