F5 Cloud Status MCP Server

Claude Code Installation Guide

Claude Code is the official Claude command-line interface. Installing the F5 XC Cloud Status MCP server takes just 2 steps.

Prerequisites

Section titled “Prerequisites”

Before starting, ensure you have:

  • Claude Code installed (which claude-code should return a path)
  • Node.js 18.0.0 or higher (node --version)
  • npm installed (comes with Node.js)

Installation

Section titled “Installation”

Step 1: Locate Your Claude Code Configuration

Section titled “Step 1: Locate Your Claude Code Configuration”

Claude Code uses a .mcp.json file to register MCP servers. This file is typically located in your project root:

Terminal window
# Navigate to your Claude Code project
cd /path/to/your/project


# Or if you want a global configuration, use:
# ~/.claude/.mcp.json

Step 2: Add the F5 XC Cloud Status MCP Server

Section titled “Step 2: Add the F5 XC Cloud Status MCP Server”

If the .mcp.json file doesn’t exist, create it:

Terminal window
cat > .mcp.json << 'EOF'
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "f5xc-cloudstatus": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@robinmordasiewicz/f5xc-cloudstatus-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}
EOF

If the file already exists, edit it to add the server configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "f5xc-cloudstatus": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@robinmordasiewicz/f5xc-cloudstatus-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}
