Connect Claude to Meridian

Add Meridian as an MCP server so Claude can track your sessions, decisions, and tasks.

Start using
Step 1 β€” Install the MCP extension
πŸ”Œ dnakov/claude-mcp β€” Chrome extension for claude.ai GitHub β†’

The extension adds MCP server support to claude.ai in your browser. After installing: click the puzzle icon in Chrome, then the Meridian extension icon to open the popup. Use Claude Desktop? Skip this step β€” it has MCP built in.

Step 2 β€” Add server config
Local install Free Β· Self-hosted

Running Meridian locally on localhost:7878? Use this config.

Name
meridian
URL
http://localhost:7878/mcp/sse
No token needed for local installs β€” Meridian trusts localhost by default.
or use the hosted tier
Hosted tier usemeridian.us

Zero install β€” Meridian runs in the cloud. Paste these into the extension popup.

Name
meridian
URL
https://usemeridian.us/mcp/sse
β„Ή Note: When you first connect, the extension may open a sign-in popup from Meridian β€” this is expected, not an error. Sign in with Google or GitHub and the connection will complete automatically.

The hosted server requires an API token (Bearer auth). Generate one below β€” it's shown only once.

Step 3 β€” Start using
After adding the server, open a new conversation on claude.ai. The extension auto-discovers all Meridian tools. Call start_session(project_id="...", session_name="...") to begin β€” Meridian returns your sprint state, pending tasks, and open HITLs in one call.
