PorticolPorticol with Claude Code
Claude Code starts porticol-cli mcp as a local server and calls it like any other tool. Each call reads the workspace on your computer; your collections stay in Porticol.
Install the app and the command line
curl -fsSL https://porticol.app/install.sh | shOn Windows, run irm https://porticol.app/install.ps1 | iex in PowerShell. Open Porticol once and sign in.
Add the server
claude mcp add porticol -- porticol-cli mcpAdd --write to let the agent create or change requests: claude mcp add porticol -- porticol-cli mcp --write.
What it can do
- Search collections, requests and history for a query.
- Read a collection with its requests and examples, or one request of it.
- List the environments, or read one by id.
- Send a request and return what came back.
- Run a collection and wait for the finished run.
- Read recent sends and their results.
- Preview an OpenAPI document as a collection, without importing it.
- Create or change requests only when the server starts with --write.
- Secret values stay in Porticol: every result is masked, and a protected environment waits for a person in the app.
Try it
Ask it to search your workspace for checkout, send the request that fails, and say why the response is a 401.
Questions
Does Claude Code need my API secrets?
No. Porticol resolves a secret inside the app when it sends the request, and masks it in every tool result. A protected environment refuses an agent's send until a person allows it.
Can Claude Code change my collections?
Only when the server starts with --write. Without it the two write tools are refused.
