How to use Codanna with Claude

Codanna is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives Claude and other AI agents direct access to developer tools capabilities. Once installed, you can use it in Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code with GitHub Copilot, or any MCP-compatible client.

Setup

  1. Clone or install from the GitHub repository
  2. Follow the README for environment setup and credentials
  3. Add the server to your MCP client config (claude_desktop_config.json or .cursor/mcp.json)
  4. Restart your client — Codanna will appear in the available tools list

About Codanna

Codanna is an open-source MCP server in the Developer Tools category, built in Rust. It connects Claude and other MCP-compatible clients to developer tools systems directly. Source available on GitHub.

Use cases for Developer Tools MCP servers

  • Trigger CI/CD pipelines and view build status in chat
  • Search and manage issues across projects automatically
  • Automate code review and static analysis workflows
  • Query deployment history and rollback with natural language

Where Codanna fits in an MCP workflow

Teams use Codanna to give Claude a direct bridge into developer tools workflows, so routine actions happen inside the AI client instead of across separate tabs and dashboards.

Codanna can be connected to MCP clients by following the repository setup instructions, making it useful for teams that want AI access to developer tools systems.
