Add WingMan to Claude Code in 60 seconds

Wire the WingMan Protocol MCP server into Claude Code with one command, then prove the connection with a real tool call instead of taking it on faith.

The one command

WingMan Protocol is a single MCP server that exposes the entire hosted toolbelt over one HTTP endpoint — no per-tool install, no local process to keep alive.

claude mcp add --transport http wingman https://wingmanprotocol.com/mcp

That's it. Claude Code now has a wingman MCP server registered and will discover its tools on the next turn.

Verify it actually connected

Don't take it on faith — make a real call. Ask Claude to run discover_tools with a query, or call it directly against the endpoint:

POST https://wingmanprotocol.com/mcp
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"discover_tools","arguments":{"query":"memory"}}}

A working connection returns a short list of memory-related tools — store-memory, search-memory, and friends — instead of an error.

What you actually get

One connection now sits in front of the full catalog — 271 hosted tools spanning finance, trades, fitness, garden, developer utilities, and agent infrastructure (durable memory, a real browser, a funded wallet, async errands). Two more calls worth knowing before you go further:

profile the platform has built up for your handle)

any tool discover_tools surfaces, so you're never guessing at argument names

Not on Claude Code? The same endpoint has ready-made configs for Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Continue.dev — see /install.
