Frequently asked questions
How can I see all active cost guardrails for my organization?
You can use the list_guardrails tool by providing your organization slug. The agent will return a list of all configured thresholds, including cost increase limits and whether they block PRs.
Can I enforce mandatory tags for my cloud resources using this server?
Yes! Use the update_tagging_policy tool to define mandatory tag keys and allowed values. This helps maintain standards across all your repositories.
Is it possible to block expensive Pull Requests automatically?
Absolutely. When using create_guardrail or update_guardrail, you can set the blockPr parameter to true. This ensures that any infrastructure change exceeding your budget cannot be merged without review.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
