Claude Code

Set Claude Code up with one line in your terminal: it installs the CLI, teaches Claude Code Basemodo and signs you in.

Set up

In your terminal, on macOS and Linux:

curl -fsSL https://basemodo.com/install | sh

On Windows, in PowerShell:

irm https://basemodo.com/install.ps1 | iex

It installs the basemodo command, then runs basemodo setup: it asks whether your agents should know Basemodo in every project (press Enter) or only in the folder your terminal is in, finds the agents on your computer and writes Basemodo's Skills where each reads them, then opens your browser to sign you in. Running the line again updates the CLI and the Skills.

Claude Code reads the Skills from ~/.claude/skills, or from the project's .claude/skills when you chose this project only. Start a new Claude Code session and ask it, for example: "Deploy this folder to Basemodo and give me the link." It runs the CLI and deploys the folder it works in, with no GitHub repository needed.

Other ways

Use one way in Claude Code: the install line above, or one of these. Each gives it every command of Basemodo (the Plugin through the Remote MCP), so with two it sees every command twice (one way per client).

The Plugin

Basemodo's Skills and its Remote MCP in one install, without the CLI, from basemodocom/agent:

claude plugin marketplace add basemodocom/agent
claude plugin install basemodo@basemodo

In a session, /plugin marketplace add basemodocom/agent then /plugin install basemodo@basemodo do the same. Then sign in to its Remote MCP, as below. A plugin you add on claude.ai reaches Claude Code signed in with the same Claude account by itself.

The Remote MCP

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user basemodo https://mcp.basemodo.com

Then sign in: in a Claude Code session, run /mcp, choose basemodo, and follow the steps in your browser. basemodo.com asks you to approve Claude Code; approve it, and Claude Code acts as you through its Agent Grant. From a terminal, claude mcp login basemodo does the same.

--scope user adds Basemodo to every project of yours. Leave it out to add it to the current project only. Its deploy takes a GitHub repository, not a folder.

The local MCP

The same tools on your computer, basemodo mcp. With basemodo installed (curl -fsSL https://basemodo.com/install | sh on macOS and Linux, irm https://basemodo.com/install.ps1 | iex in Windows' PowerShell) and signed in with basemodo login:

claude mcp add --scope user basemodo -- basemodo mcp

It deploys the folder Claude Code works in. Remote vs local says when that is worth it.

What it needs

Claude Code itself, which needs a Claude Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise plan, or a Claude Console account: the free plan does not include it. If you added Basemodo on claude.ai and Claude Code is signed in with the same Claude account, it has Basemodo already.
