No API key required. The Terminal49 MCP server supports OAuth 2.1. When you authenticate, Claude Code opens a browser sign-in page — log in with your Terminal49 credentials and you’re done.
Add the server
1
Add the server from your terminal
2
Sign in to Terminal49
Inside a Claude Code session, run
/mcp, select terminal49, and choose Authenticate. Your browser opens the Terminal49 sign-in page; after you log in and approve access, the server shows as connected.3
Use it in a session
Ask Claude Code:
“Using Terminal49, search for container CAIU1234567 and summarize its status.”
Alternative: install the Terminal49 plugin
Instead of adding the MCP server directly, you can install the Terminal49 plugin, which configures the same MCP connection and adds acontainer-tracking skill that teaches Claude Code how to choose and sequence the Terminal49 tools. See the Agent plugins guide for install commands and details.
Test your connection
Ask Claude Code:“List the tools available in the Terminal49 MCP server and what they’re for.”It should list tools such as
search_container, track_container, and get_container. See the tools reference for the full list, and Test Numbers for containers you can use during development.
