Connecting Your Personal VerbAI MCP to Claude Code

This guide explains how to connect your personal VerbAI MCP (Model Context Protocol) server to Claude Code, enabling you to pull and work with your behavioral data directly inside Claude's coding environment.

Claude Code offers native MCP support, making it one of the easiest ways to interact with your VerbAI data without requiring any command‑line setup.

Overview

VerbAI exposes your personal data through an MCP server. Claude Code can connect to this MCP directly, allowing you to:

• Query your behavioral data

• Retrieve structured and unstructured datasets

• Build custom tools and workflows

• Interact with your data conversationally or through code

If you want to use Gemini CLI in parallel, you can—VerbAI supports multiple MCP clients simultaneously.

1

Open Claude Code

Download and install the Claude Code here:

https://code.claude.com/

After installation, you can use the command claude in your terminal.

2

Add Your VerbAI MCP Server

Run the following command in your terminal to register your MCP server with Calude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http verbai 
https://api.generationlab.org/mcp
--header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_MCP_API_KEY"

Replace YOUR_MCP_API_KEY with the API key you created in your VerbAI dashboard.

⚠️ Important: Do not share this token with anyone. It grants full access to your personal data.

If the command runs successfully, your MCP server is now registered.

3

Verify MCP Connection

Check that Claude Code recognizes the MCP server by running:

claude mcp list

You should see your VerbAI MCP listed with a checkmark and a status of Connected.

4

Start Interacting With Your VerbAI MCP

To begin interacting with Claude Code, run:

claude

This launches the Claude Code in interactive mode.

You can now query your VerbAI MCP. For example:

Using verbai MCP, pull search behavioral data about searches done in the past 24 hours

Make sure you explicitly instruct Claude to use the VerbAI MCP at the beginning of your prompt—otherwise, it may respond without querying your data.

5

Approve MCP Tool Execution

During your first attempts, Claude will ask you whether it is allowed to run MCP tools.

Use your arrow keys to select:

"Yes, always allow..."

Confirm with Enter.

This approval is required only once.
