Overview

Create MCP servers that can:

• Execute Claude Code commands programmatically
• Manage multi-session coding workflows
• Integrate with CI/CD pipelines
• Build autonomous coding agents

---

Claude Code CLI Commands

Basic Commands

# Start interactive session
claude

# One-shot prompt
claude -p "explain this code"

# With specific model
claude --model claude-sonnet-4-20250514

# Print mode (no streaming)
claude --print "generate a function"

Session Management

# Resume last session
claude --resume

# Continue specific session
claude --continue abc123

# Non-interactive mode
claude --no-interactive

Output Formats

# JSON output for parsing
claude --output-format json -p "list files"

# Stream JSON for real-time processing
claude --output-format stream-json -p "explain"

MCP Tool Definition

import { McpServer } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js';

const server = new McpServer({ name: 'codex-connector' });

// Define tool
server.tool(
  'codex_execute',
  'Execute a Claude Code command',
  {
    prompt: { type: 'string', description: 'The prompt to execute' },
    workdir: { type: 'string', description: 'Working directory' },
    timeout: { type: 'number', description: 'Timeout in ms', default: 300000 }
  },
  async ({ prompt, workdir, timeout }) => {
    const result = await executeCodex(prompt, workdir, timeout);
    return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(result) }] };
  }
);

---

Execution Pattern

Safe Execution

import { spawn } from 'child_process';

async function executeCodex(
  prompt: string,
  workdir: string,
  timeout: number = 300000
): Promise<CodexResult> {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    const proc = spawn('claude', [
      '--print',
      '--output-format', 'json',
      '-p', prompt
    ], {
      cwd: workdir,
      timeout,
      env: { ...process.env, FORCE_COLOR: '0' }
    });

    let stdout = '';
    let stderr = '';

    proc.stdout.on('data', (data) => { stdout += data; });
    proc.stderr.on('data', (data) => { stderr += data; });

    proc.on('close', (code) => {
      if (code === 0) {
        resolve({ success: true, output: JSON.parse(stdout) });
      } else {
        reject(new Error(`Exit code ${code}: ${stderr}`));
      }
    });

    proc.on('error', reject);
  });
}

With Abort Controller

async function executeWithAbort(
  prompt: string,
  signal: AbortSignal
): Promise<CodexResult> {
  const proc = spawn('claude', ['--print', '-p', prompt], {
    signal // Node.js 16+ supports this
  });

  // ... handle output
}

---

Multi-Session Workflow

class CodingSession {
  private sessionId?: string;

  async start(initialPrompt: string): Promise<void> {
    const result = await executeCodex(initialPrompt);
    this.sessionId = result.sessionId;
  }

  async continue(prompt: string): Promise<string> {
    if (!this.sessionId) throw new Error('No session');
    return executeCodex(prompt, { continue: this.sessionId });
  }

  async end(): Promise<void> {
    // Session cleanup
    this.sessionId = undefined;
  }
}

---

GitHub Actions Integration

- name: Run Claude Code
  run: |
    claude --print --output-format json \
      -p "Fix the failing test in ${{ github.event.issue.body }}" \
      > result.json

- name: Parse Result
  run: |
    jq '.result' result.json

---

Security Considerations

// Sanitize user input
function sanitizePrompt(prompt: string): string {
  return prompt
    .replace(/[`$]/g, '') // Remove shell metacharacters
    .slice(0, 10000);      // Limit length
}

// Validate working directory
function validateWorkdir(dir: string): boolean {
  const resolved = path.resolve(dir);
  const allowed = ['/home/user/projects', '/tmp/sandbox'];
  return allowed.some(a => resolved.startsWith(a));
}

---

Error Handling

try {
  const result = await executeCodex(prompt, workdir);
  return { success: true, ...result };
} catch (error) {
  if (error.message.includes('timeout')) {
    return { success: false, error: 'TIMEOUT', message: 'Execution timed out' };
  }
  if (error.message.includes('ENOENT')) {
    return { success: false, error: 'NOT_FOUND', message: 'Claude CLI not installed' };
  }
  return { success: false, error: 'UNKNOWN', message: error.message };
}

Checklist

• MCP server properly configured
• Tool definitions have clear descriptions
• Input sanitization implemented
• Timeout handling in place
• Error handling covers common cases
• Working directory validation
• Session management if needed
