Connect Claude Code

Who can use it: all firm staff, on projects they can access. Clients can’t create tokens.

NorthFloe has an MCP server, so an AI coding assistant such as Claude Code can read a project’s features, specs, tasks and test cases, and help with the work, using your access.

Use case

Arjun creates a 30-day token for the Harbor project and connects Claude Code. Arjun asks: “Start REQ-4/T2 and build it.” The assistant reads the task brief, the linked criteria, the requirement and the approved spec, writes the code, and submits the task with the PR link. Meera still reviews and approves it: agents never approve.

    participant A as Arjun
    participant C as Claude Code
    participant N as NorthFloe
    participant M as Meera (Architect)
    A->>N: Create a token (30 days)
    A->>C: "Build REQ-4/T2"
    C->>N: Read task, criteria, spec
    C->>C: Write the code, open a PR
    C->>N: Submit task with the PR link
    M->>N: Review and approve

Create a token

1. Open the project and go to Settings → AI (the Tokens tab).
2. Under Connect Claude Code, name the token and choose how long it lasts: 7, 30 or 90 days.
3. Select Generate.
4. Copy the command or the .mcp.json snippet shown, and run or paste it in your project folder.

Caution

The token is shown only once. Copy it before you leave the page. Anyone with it can act as you on this project.

What the assistant can and can’t do

Can	Can’t
Read features, specs, tasks, test cases and docs	See projects you can’t see
Draft a spec, a test case or a task	Do anything your role can’t
Start and submit tasks	Sign off, approve, verify or accept

The Help tab lists every tool available to your role, grouped by area.

When tokens stop working

You can revoke a token at any time. NorthFloe also revokes it automatically when:

• you’re removed from the project, deactivated, or your role changes;
• the project is marked Completed;
• it reaches its expiry date.
