Reachpad MCP

reachpad lets Claude, Codex and other coding agents build full-stack apps in persistent workspaces and share them by link, without a separate deployment. A workspace is a cloud development computer an agent operates itself: a repo, a filesystem, installed dependencies and build state that all survive between calls, not an ephemeral sandbox that forgets. Processes are the exception; see below.

People who work with developer environments and sandbox and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in JavaScript.

before you install - you'll need

Set REACHPAD_MCP_HTTP_PORT, REACHPAD_IDENTITY_CREDENTIAL before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add reachpad-reachpad-mcp --transport http https://reachpad.dev/mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reachpad-reachpad-mcp": {
      "url": "https://reachpad.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
