atoma — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Coordinates AI agents to build web apps, APIs, and CLI tools, tracking execution steps in real time. Useful for turning software requests into working prototypes directly from your editor.
claude mcp add --transport http atoma https://atoma.run/mcpWhat atoma does
This server links your editor to the atoma engine over MCP. Specialized agents plan development, generate source files, spin up temporary servers, and evaluate the output against acceptance checks. Completed phases remain in the workspace. If a run hits budget limits, atoma marks it incomplete instead of discarding progress.
Teams can inspect web builds in an isolated preview environment before publishing code to GitHub. Because the platform is actively evolving and lacks an independent security audit, sending sensitive files or private data into goals is unsafe. Runs also draw against your configured model account quotas.
What it helps with
- generate an API prototype with verified acceptance checks
- build web applications and test them in isolated preview environments
- monitor multi-agent execution steps and model token costs
- resume incomplete projects without losing previous phases
Example prompts for the agent
- Use atoma to generate a REST API prototype and verify the endpoints.
- Check the status and model costs of the current atoma build run.
- Create an operations dashboard project in atoma and generate preview links.

Questions about atoma
How do I install atoma in Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add --transport http atoma https://atoma.run/mcp in your terminal to register the remote server.
What does the atoma MCP server do?
It connects your coding assistant to atoma, letting you initiate project builds, inspect multi-agent progress, and enforce acceptance criteria.
Can I process confidential project files with atoma?
The service remains under active development without an independent security audit, so passing sensitive or personal data into build goals is explicitly advised against.
