How to Use the Griffin MCP in Claude Code

Q: How do I add the Griffin MCP Server to Claude Code?

Run the command claude mcp add --transport http griffin-mcp -- in your terminal, placing all transport flags before the server name. Claude Code saves this configuration in your /.claude.json file for persistent access.

Q: Does Claude Code support checking my user profile?

Yes, Claude Code calls getme to retrieve details about your current authenticated API user. This helps you quickly debug connection issues or verify your active permissions from the terminal.

Q: How is my KYC verification data protected in Claude Code?

Compliance profiles pulled via getverification are transmitted securely through Vinkius's ephemeral V8 sandbox. The connection uses an encrypted MCP bridge via Vinkius, meaning your sensitive KYC data is only held in-memory during the active terminal session and is never written to persistent external storage.

Manage your Griffin banking ledgers and compliance pipelines directly from the terminal with Claude Code.

Headless transaction monitoring in Claude Code

The `list_transactions` tool retrieves raw ledger feeds directly into your command-line interface. Claude Code processes this transaction stream, allowing you to pipe the output into standard terminal utilities or local files. When debugging a payment pipeline, you can instruct the CLI to fetch specific details using `get_transaction`. This lets you inspect raw API responses without opening a browser or a heavy IDE.

Scripted internal transfers via Claude Code

The `create_internal_transfer` tool executes immediate balance adjustments between your corporate accounts from the terminal. Claude Code constructs the transfer payload, runs validation checks, and executes the transaction in one headless run. Before firing the transfer, it queries `list_accounts` to verify that both the source and destination profiles are active. The entire process runs through standard shell prompts, keeping your treasury operations fast.

Terminal-based compliance audits with Claude Code MCP Server

The `list_verifications` tool outputs the KYC and KYB verification states of your business customers directly to your stdout. Claude Code parses this terminal output to identify failed verification runs instantly. You can query `get_verification` for any failed check to inspect the exact compliance logs. This terminal-first approach makes it easy to integrate verification audits into your existing bash scripts.
