Connect Claude Code

Developer integration

This integration is for people who use Claude Code — Anthropic's AI coding assistant. If you don't use Claude Code, you can skip this section.

What you get

Claude Code can read and create your Danny tasks directly from the terminal. Use it to capture tasks from meeting notes or Slack threads without leaving your workflow, or ask Claude to list, search, and update your tasks while you work.

Prerequisites

• A Danny account
• Claude Code CLI, Desktop app, or Web

Step 1: Create an API key

1. Go to Settings → API Keys
2. Click Create API Key
3. Enter a label (e.g. Claude Code — laptop)
4. Copy your key — it's shown only once

Step 2: Connect Claude Code

CLI (recommended)

claude mcp add danny --transport http \
  --url https://api.askdanny.to/mcp \
  --header "X-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with the key you just copied.

Desktop or Web

Add this to your MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "danny": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.askdanny.to/mcp",
      "headers": { "X-Api-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Step 3: Verify it works

Try these prompts in Claude Code:

> list my tasks
> create a task: Review PR #42
> add tasks from these meeting notes: [paste notes]
