The Drop MCP server lets Claude Code (and any MCP-compatible client) manage Droplets directly — creating, searching, editing, sharing, and versioning without leaving the conversation. No CLI install required on the agent's machine.
Drop ships two transports:
- Remote (recommended) — Streamable HTTP at
https://drop.himarley.ai/api/mcp. Bearer-token auth, stateless, no install. Use this in Claude Code via"type": "http". - Local stdio —
npx @himarley/drop-mcp. Adds support for reading local file paths (filePatharg) which the remote server can't do — useful when authoring a Droplet from a file on disk.
The CLI is still the most token-efficient surface for Claude Code; the MCP server is the right pick for non-CLI MCP clients or when you want tool-discovery without a shell.

Operations
Configure Claude Code
Generate a token at Settings → API Tokens (it's only shown once — copy it). Then add the MCP server to Claude Code via /settings. Restart Claude Code and it auto-discovers every tool.

}Authenticate
The remote MCP server accepts the same Bearer tokens the CLI uses — either a Cognito JWT (issued by drop login) or a legacy drop_* token (deprecated but still accepted during the migration window). API tokens are managed at /settings/tokens. A PR preview (engineering) needs a token minted inside that preview: eval "$(drop preview token <PR>)" sets DROP_SERVER and DROP_TOKEN for it, and drop preview exec <PR> -- <command> runs a local MCP server (the PR's own, say) with them and an empty HOME. The local MCP server refuses a drop login token aimed at a PR preview, and refuses DROP_SERVER without DROP_TOKEN when it names a server other than your saved login's.

Each tool follows the standard MCP tools/call shape. Sample prompts that land cleanly: "Build a team dashboard and publish it as team-dashboard", "Roll my-dashboard back to v3", "Search Drop for anything related to onboarding", "Share the quarterly-report droplet with all of Hi Marley".
