(Locally the CodeRoot API is reached at `http://localhost:8080` — not
`host.docker.internal`, which only applies from inside a container.)

**Confirm it's connected.** `claude mcp list` should show `coderoot` as
connected, and inside Claude Code the six [Tools](#tools) below —
`get_subject`, `get_metrics`, `read_files`, `get_prior_assessment`,
`llm_cache_get`, `llm_cache_put` — become available.
**Make it global, and reload.** `claude mcp add` defaults to **local** scope —
the server is available only in the directory you ran it in, so it won't appear
in a session for a different project. Add `--scope user` to register it for
every project. MCP servers connect when a session starts, so **restart Claude
Code (or open a new chat)** after adding — a mid-session add won't show until
then.

**Confirm it's connected.** Run the **`/mcp`** command inside Claude Code (there
is no MCP menu or button — `/mcp` lists each server, its connection status, and
its tools), or `claude mcp list` in a terminal. `coderoot` should show as
connected, and the six [Tools](#tools) below — `get_subject`, `get_metrics`,
`read_files`, `get_prior_assessment`, `llm_cache_get`, `llm_cache_put` —
become available for the agent to call.
