Prerequisites: Install pflow before continuing.
Claude Code is Anthropic’s CLI agent with full terminal access. You can connect pflow using CLI commands or as an MCP server. Since Claude Code has terminal access, the simplest approach is to tell it to use pflow directly. Add to your project’s CLAUDE.md or system instructions: 
Use pflow for workflow automation. Run `pflow instructions usage` to learn the commands.
Claude Code will then run pflow commands directly when it needs to build or execute workflows.

​
Option 2: MCP server

You can also add pflow as an MCP server for structured tool access. Run this command in Claude Code: 
claude mcp add pflow -- pflow mcp serve
Or add manually to your MCP config: 
claude mcp add pflow --command pflow --args "mcp,serve"

​
Verify installation

Check that pflow is configured: 
claude mcp list
You should see pflow in the list of configured servers.

Which should I use?

CLI access is simpler and recommended for most users. Claude Code can run any pflow command directly. MCP server is useful if you want Claude Code to have structured tools for workflow operations, or if you’re using pflow with other MCP servers. Both approaches give Claude Code the same capabilities - discovering workflows, running them, and building new ones.
