Claude Code toolkit mcp server toolkit_encode_value

How to: Claude Code toolkit mcp server toolkit_encode_value

client:Claude Code transport:streamable-http tool:toolkit_encode_value

Add toolkit mcp server to Claude Code

  1. 01

    Run this in your project directory.

claude mcp add --transport http toolkit-mcp-server https://toolkit.caseyjhand.com/mcp
  1. 02

    Restart your session so the server is picked up.

  2. 03

    Ask for something toolkit_encode_value does. Claude Code lists the server's tools on connect and calls toolkit_encode_value itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that toolkit mcp server's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Adds it for this project only. Append --scope user to make it available everywhere. Claude Code docs

Set these first

toolkit mcp server will not start until these are set, so toolkit_encode_value never becomes available.

  • MCP_LOG_LEVEL
  • TOOLKIT_ENABLE_NET_DIAGNOSTICS
  • TOOLKIT_ENABLE_SYSTEM_INFO
  • TOOLKIT_ALLOW_PRIVATE_NETWORK
  • TOOLKIT_GEO_API_KEY
  • TOOLKIT_GEO_BASE_URL
  • TOOLKIT_GEO_CACHE_TTL_SECONDS
  • TOOLKIT_GEO_RATE_LIMIT_PER_MIN

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 24 September 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
