Drive XRA from Claude Code

Connect XRA to Claude Code over MCP: clone a site, follow the build, and pull the source down to edit locally.

XRA speaks MCP, so Claude Code can run the engine directly: ask it to clone a site, and the capture happens on our machines while you keep working. When the build finishes you pull the source down and edit it like any other project.

Connect

Create a key in Settings → API keys, then run this once in any project:

claude mcp add --transport http xra https://app.xracode.com/api/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer xra_sk_..."

There is nothing to install. The server is hosted, so your machine never needs Chromium, disk space or the twenty minutes a large capture can take.

What you can ask for

Tool	What it does
`clone_site`	Rebuilds a site as its own codebase. Returns a job to follow, not a finished site — a capture takes minutes. Spends one build from your monthly allowance.
`clone_status`	Stage, progress and, once finished, the addresses the build produced.
`list_clones`	Every site on your account, with its addresses.
`download_clone`	Packages the source and returns a link good for one hour, so you can edit it locally.

Editing is deliberately not in that list. You are already in an editor with the whole project open — that is a better place to change code than a chat tool call.

A session, end to end

You:    clone stripe.com for me
Claude: [clone_site] Started. Captures take a few minutes.
You:    how's it going?
Claude: [clone_status] Refining, 60% — 14 pages captured.
        ...
Claude: [clone_status] Done. https://stripe-site.vercel.app
You:    pull the source down so I can change the pricing page
Claude: [download_clone] Packaged — downloading and unpacking now.

Keys

A key carries your plan and its limits, and acts as you: it reaches your clones and no one else's. The plaintext is shown once, when you create it — afterwards only a prefix is stored, so a lost key is replaced rather than recovered. Revoking one in Settings takes effect immediately.

Send it as Authorization: Bearer xra_sk_.... The same key works for anything else you want to call from your own code.

Other clients

The endpoint is plain MCP over streamable HTTP at https://app.xracode.com/api/mcp, so any MCP client that speaks remote transport can use it — the claude mcp add line above is just the shortest way in.
