Create a Workspace

A workspace is an isolated collaboration environment for one project. Create one per Claude Code project you want to keep humans in the loop for.

  1. 1. In the dashboard, click + New Workspace
  2. 2. Give it a name (e.g., my-api-project)
  3. 3. Click Generate MCP Token — copy it now (you won't see it again)
  4. 4. Note your Workspace ID (visible in the URL or workspace settings)
MCP tokens are shown once. Copy it to a safe place. If you lose it, generate a new one from workspace settings — the old one is invalidated automatically.

Add to .mcp.json

In your project root (where you run claude), create or update .mcp.json with the AgentRQ server entry:

.mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentrq": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://WORKSPACE_ID.mcp.agentrq.com/mcp?token=YOUR_MCP_TOKEN"
    }
  }
}
Replace WORKSPACE_ID and YOUR_MCP_TOKEN with the values from step 2.
Existing .mcp.json?
Just add the agentrq entry inside mcpServers. AgentRQ coexists with other MCP servers.

Start Claude Code

Run claude in your project directory. Claude Code auto-discovers .mcp.json and connects to AgentRQ. You'll see AgentRQ's 6 tools available in the tool list.

Terminal
$ claude
✓ MCP server connected: agentrq
  Tools: createTask, updateTaskStatus, reply,
         getWorkspace, getTaskMessages, downloadAttachment

> Build the auth module and ask me before touching the DB schema

Receive Your First Task

When Claude needs your input, it calls createTask. You'll immediately see a new task card appear in the AgentRQ dashboard at app.agentrq.com.

Example task from Claude
Pending from Claude Sonnet
Approve DB Schema Change
I'm about to add a user_sessions table with columns: id, user_id, token_hash, created_at, expires_at. This will require a migration. Approve to proceed?

Reply in the dashboard — Claude receives your response via the notification channel and continues immediately. No polling, no delay.
