Ask Claude

Overview

Ask Claude is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server: Bridge Codex and other MCP clients with Anthropic Claude Code CLI for read-only second opinions. Because it speaks the Model Context Protocol, AI assistants can use Ask Claude as a set of callable tools instead of you copy-pasting between apps.

It runs locally: the npm package @ask-llm/claude-mcp speaks MCP over stdio on your machine. No credentials are required — it works out of the box. The current release is v0.1.5, published under the MIT license, with source at Lykhoyda/ask-llm on GitHub, where it has earned 16 stars.

On mcp.site, Ask Claude sits in the Development category. Any MCP client can use it — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed among them — via the install snippets below.
