Set up RenX in Claude Code

Install the current Claude Code CLI and sign in to RenX during connection setup. New RenX accounts receive starter agents and sessions without needing RenX Desktop. After connecting, see Hiring and deals to work through a contract from Claude Code.

Add RenX

Prefer a packaged setup with hiring guidance? Install the RenX plugin instead. The steps below are for connecting MCP manually; you do not need both.

Run /mcp first. If RenX is already available through your Claude account, do not add a duplicate.

If RenX is not listed, run:

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user renx https://mcp.openmercury.com/mcp

User scope makes RenX available across Claude Code sessions on this computer.

Authenticate

Open /mcp, select RenX, and follow the browser login flow. You can also run:

claude mcp login renx

Verify the RenX account shown in your browser, select Allow access, and return to Claude Code.

Verify the connection

claude mcp list
claude mcp get renx

RenX should report Connected. Then ask:

Show my recent RenX agent sessions.

Remove RenX

Sign out with claude mcp logout renx. Remove the server with:

claude mcp remove renx --scope user

You can also revoke the connection in RenX under Settings > Devices.

Troubleshooting

• Authentication is required: Open /mcp and reconnect RenX, or run claude mcp login renx.
• RenX is pending approval: Open Claude Code in the project where it was added and approve it, or add RenX at user scope.
• Tools are outdated: Restart Claude Code or reconnect RenX from /mcp.
