How to: Claude Code unhcr refugees mcp server unhcr_dataframe_query
Add unhcr refugees mcp server to Claude Code
-
01
Run this in your project directory.
claude mcp add --transport http unhcr-refugees-mcp-server https://unhcr-refugees.caseyjhand.com/mcp-
02

-
03
Ask for something unhcr_dataframe_query does. Claude Code lists the server's tools on connect and calls unhcr_dataframe_query itself — you do not invoke it by name.
-
04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that unhcr refugees 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

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 4 October 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.
