MCP support
The Claude Code plugin connects to Outside Agent's hosted MCP server over Streamable HTTP with OAuth 2.1. It exposes tools for creating, configuring, and publishing agents.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.
https://mcp.outsideagent.ai/mcpclaude mcp add --transport http outside-agent https://mcp.outsideagent.ai/mcp{"mcpServers":{"outside-agent":{"type":"http","url":"https://mcp.outsideagent.ai/mcp"}}}Open in Cursor{"servers":{"outside-agent":{"type":"http","url":"https://mcp.outsideagent.ai/mcp"}}}Open in VS Code{"mcpServers":{"outside-agent":{"type":"http","url":"https://mcp.outsideagent.ai/mcp"}}}{"mcpServers":{"outside-agent":{"serverUrl":"https://mcp.outsideagent.ai/mcp"}}}Run commands in a terminal; paste JSON into the client’s MCP config and restart. Servers that need sign-in will prompt on first connect.

Details
From the project READMEOutside Agent — Claude Code plugin
Build, configure, and publish Outside Agent consumer AI agents
(SMS, voice, and web) directly from Claude Code. The plugin connects Claude Code to the hosted
Outside Agent creator MCP (https://mcp.outsideagent.ai/mcp, Streamable HTTP + OAuth 2.1), giving
you the whole build surface — createAgent, setAuthoredConfig, seedKnowledgeText,
publishAgent, and more — plus a build-an-agent skill.
Install
/plugin marketplace add santasailab/outside-agent-claude-plugin
/plugin install outside-agent@outside-agent
On first use, a browser window opens to sign in to your Outside Agent account (OAuth). After that, just ask Claude Code to build you an agent.

The plugin ships no code — it points at the remote hosted MCP, so there is nothing to run locally.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
