    Installation

    2. Configure your .npmrc to use an auth token to connect to Palantir

    1. Generate a user token from Palantir. Review the guide on how to generate a user token.

    2. Set that user token as a persistent environment variable named FOUNDRY_TOKEN.

    3. In terminal, run the following command to ensure your FOUNDRY_TOKEN is used to download Palantir MCP. You will need to update <enrollment> to your Palantir enrollment URL.

    Claude Code

    Review the Claude Code documentation ↗ to install Palantir MCP in your Claude Code CLI. Review the documentation around scoping where MCP should be installed. We recommend installing the MCP in local scope ↗ for each project so Claude can load the correct token and compass folder depending on the project you are working in.

    1. Navigate to your project's repo in the command line.
    2. In the command below, update <enrollment> and<token> with your enrollment and user token.
    3. Run the following command:
