An MCP server that lets host-side Claude Cowork dispatch work into
**Claude Code running inside your devcontainer**, over stdio. Cowork
launches the bridge with `docker exec -i`; the bridge shells to
`claude -p` and returns a structured result.

## Install

Inside the devcontainer:

```bash
# from PyPI (once published — see CHANGELOG.md):
pip install claude-bridge-mcp

# or pin to the latest main branch:
pip install "git+https://github.com/JosiahSiegel/claude-bridge.git@main"

# or for development (editable + dev deps):
git clone https://github.com/JosiahSiegel/claude-bridge.git
cd claude-bridge
pip install -e ".[dev]"
```

> **Note on names**: the PyPI distribution is `claude-bridge-mcp` (the
> bare `claude-bridge` name was already taken by an unrelated HTTP
> gateway). The Python import (`import claude_bridge`), the CLI
> (`claude-bridge`), and the MCP server name (`claude-bridge`) are
> unchanged — only the `pip install` argument differs.

A reference Dockerfile and `devcontainer.json` for downstream projects
live in [`examples/devcontainer/`](./examples/devcontainer/).

## Quickstart

Three things have to be true: the bridge installed in the container,
its absolute path in the Claude Desktop config on the host, and Claude
Desktop fully restarted.

**1. Install in the container.**

```bash
pip install claude-bridge-mcp
which claude-bridge      # copy this path — you'll paste it in step 2
```

**2. Register with Claude Desktop on the host.**

Open via `Settings → Developer → Edit Config`, or edit the file directly:

* macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_des…
