Connect Claude Code to your Orchata knowledge base using MCP. Once configured, Claude Code can search your documents, upload content, and manage your knowledge base directly from your terminal.

​
Prerequisites

​
Quick Setup

Add the Orchata MCP server to Claude Code with a single command: 
claude mcp add --transport http orchata https://api.orchata.ai/mcp --header "Oai-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
That’s it! Claude Code will authenticate using the API key you provided.

​
Verifying the Connection

After adding the server, verify it’s configured correctly: 
claude mcp list
You should see orchata in the list of configured MCP servers and it should say “Connected” next to it.

​
Using Orchata with Claude Code

​
Example Commands

Searching your knowledge base: 
claude "Search my Orchata knowledge base for information about API authentication"
Uploading documents: 
claude "Upload this README to the 'SDK Documentation' space in Orchata" < README.md
Managing spaces: 
claude "List all my Orchata spaces"
claude "Create a new Orchata space called 'Customer Support' for our support documentation"

​
Interactive Mode

In interactive mode, you can have conversations with Claude Code that leverage your Orchata knowledge base: 
claude
Then ask:
“What do we have documented about authentication in Orchata?”
Claude Code will use the smart_query or query_spaces tools to find relevant content.

​
