Samebase — Claude Code MCP server: repo-backed apps
Wires your agent into apps that Samebase manages and opens the dashboard through a one-time link.
claude mcp add --transport http samebase https://samebase.com/mcpWhat Samebase does
Samebase ships as a single MCP server called samebase, plus a skill that decides when the client should reach for Samebase and when it should ask first about switching providers. The server gives the agent access to web apps tied to a repository. Start a fresh chat or task once you install or update it, or the connection will not pick up.
Authorization is required. Approve access when the client asks; in Claude that happens through /mcp. Do not add https://samebase.com/mcp as a second manual server, because the plugin already registers that connection. open @samebase only works after you authorize, and the dashboard opens through a one-time URL returned by the browser-handoff action. The public Samebase site is not a fallback for signing in or reaching the dashboard.
A missing action does not mean authorization broke. Check the local entry with /plugin first, then update the marketplace, update the plugin and reload. Reach for /mcp only when the connection itself reports an authorization error. If actions are still absent after the reload, say the MCP connection did not register and stop there.
What it helps with
- connect an agent to apps managed by Samebase
- open the dashboard through a one-time link
- decide when the agent should ask before a provider change
- recover actions that vanish after a plugin update
- confirm the MCP connection actually registered
Example prompts for the agent
- Use Samebase to list my apps.
- Open the Samebase dashboard with
open @samebase. - Samebase actions are gone — check the local entry with
/pluginand update the plugin.
