How to Use the 15Five MCP in Claude Code

Q: How do I configure the 15Five MCP Server in Claude Code?

Run claude mcp add --transport http 15five -- . The config saves directly to /.claude.json.

Q: Can Claude Code export 15Five check-ins to a file?

Yes. It calls listcheckins and writes the raw response to whatever local path you specify.

Q: How secure is my 15Five employee data?

Information fetched by listusers or check-ins stays inside a zero-trust V8 Isolate. Vinkius destroys the sandbox immediately after your MCP Server finishes the task.

Pipe 15Five OKRs and check-ins directly into your shell scripts using Claude Code and this MCP Server.

Perplexity

Query OKRs from the CLI

Running `list_objectives` through the MCP Server pulls your company targets straight to stdout. You can ask Claude Code to fetch the engineering OKRs and format them as a JSON file for your deployment dashboard. Team health monitoring works the same way. The `list_checkins` tool grabs recent performance submissions, letting you pipe sentiment scores into a cron job.

Sync department data via MCP

Administrative tasks require the `list_departments` tool to map out team structures. Claude Code hits the endpoint and returns the raw identifiers needed for your backend scripts. Locating a specific developer means calling `list_users`. Your terminal agent filters the active employee roster to grab the exact email address for any automated reporting.

Automate peer recognition

Executing a `send_high_five` request happens entirely headless. You pass a message and an email, and the server posts the public recognition directly to the company feed. Git hooks make this even more powerful. A post-receive script can trigger Claude Code to read recent commits and fire a high five to the author automatically.
