What is Claude Crew?
Claude Crew is a tool designed to create autonomous coding agents that work with Claude Desktop and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It focuses on maximizing Claude Desktop's performance by optimizing context window usage, prioritizing operation verification through unit testing, and providing project-optimized MCP and context information.
How to use Claude Crew?
To use Claude Crew, first set up your project using the CLI, which interactively configures project information and provides MCP tools and custom instructions. Then, configure Claude Desktop by adding the MCP settings and custom instructions generated by the CLI. The tool then automates tasks such as updating dependencies, RAG index, and pulling latest Git changes, providing the LLM with necessary project context for autonomous task execution, including linting and unit testing.

FAQ from Claude Crew
How do I fix MCP Server failing to start?
How do I fix MCP Server failing to start?
Ensure your claude_desktop_config.json matches the format in .claude-crew/mcp.json. Update the MCP configuration in Claude Desktop with the latest format. Refer to config.example.json for an example configuration.
How do I reset the database?
How do I reset the database?
Use the commands npx claude-crew clean to clean up existing database containers and volumes, and npx claude-crew setup-db to reinitialize the database.
Can I use Claude Crew with other MCP tools?
Can I use Claude Crew with other MCP tools?
It is recommended to disable similar tools like filesystem and claude-code to avoid conflicts and improve AI agent efficiency. Consider using browser operation tools only when unit testing is challenging.
How do I add custom instructions for other tools?
How do I add custom instructions for other tools?
Manually append to the CLI-generated instructions (.claude-crew/instruction.md) or add instructions for additional tools directly to your project's custom instructions.
