Quickstart
Get the Tenderly MCP Server running in your AI assistant in under a minute.
Prerequisites
- A Tenderly account (Free, Developer, or Pro plan)
- At least one Tenderly project
Connect to the MCP Server
Run the following command in your terminal:
claude mcp add tenderly --transport http https://mcp.tenderly.co/mcpVerify the server is connected:
claude mcp listRun /mcp inside Claude Code, select tenderly, and follow the browser login to authenticate.
First tool call
Once connected, try a simple prompt to verify everything works:
“What is my account name and currently active project?”
Claude will call get_user_info and returns your account information and the currently active project (if set). If this works, you’re all set.
Set your active project
Most tools require a project context. Set it once per session:
“Set my active project to my-project under my-account”
Claude will call set_active_project. All subsequent tool calls (simulations, VNets, traces) will use this project.
You can also let Claude figure out the project automatically — just ask it to do something and it will call list_projects first if needed.
