Hangar MCP guide
Connect any MCP client to your Hangarvibe workspace with 6 built-in tools.
What it is
Hangar MCP connects any MCP client — like Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or Cursor — to your Hangarvibe cloud workspace. It adds 6 tools, all named hangar_*: hangar_project, hangar_task, hangar_agent, hangar_knowledge, hangar_memory, and hangar_api. Your agent uses these tools to read and write your projects, tasks, notes, and more.
Before you start
- A Hangarvibe account with an active subscription.
- An MCP client you want to connect, such as Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or Cursor.
How to use it
- 1
Open the dashboard at hangarvibe.com and go to API keys.
- 2
Create a key. It is shown only once and starts with
hg_live_. Copy it now. - 3
In the desktop app, open Settings → MCP and paste your key.
- 4
Click Test connection to make sure the key works.
- 5
In the deck header, click Connect project. This writes a
.mcp.jsonfile into your project folder. - 6
Restart your terminals so they pick up the new tools.
- 7
In your MCP client, call the
hangar_*tools to reach your workspace.
Try it
claude mcp add --transport http hangarvibe https://hangarvibe.com/api/mcp \ --header "Authorization: Bearer <your key>"
Good to know
- The
.mcp.jsonfile holds your key, so Hangarvibe adds it to.gitignore. Keep it out of git. - Searches with hangar_knowledge and hangar_memory are metered and cost credits.
- If a search fails and you retry right away, you are not billed twice.
