Claude Code Plugin

This package also serves as a Claude Code plugin, providing an MCP server and workflow skills.

What's included

MCP Server — gives Claude Code direct access to Harmony:

• Query, create, and update tasks
• Manage labels, comments, and activity history
• Work with projects, documents, cycles, and milestones
• Bulk operations on tasks

Workflow Skills:

• start-work — Begin a piece of work: find/create the Harmony task, move it to In Progress, create an isolated git worktree, and recommend an execution route
• finish-work — Land completed work: verify readiness, rebase, squash merge, clean up the worktree, and move the task to Done

Prerequisites

• Claude Code installed
• superpowers plugin installed (used by workflow skills)
• A Harmony account with an API token

Installation

1. Inside Claude Code, add the marketplace and install the plugin:

   /plugin marketplace add ycomplex/harmony-plugin
   /plugin install harmony-plugin@ycomplex
   

2. Restart Claude Code for the hooks and MCP server to take effect:

   /exit
   

   Then start claude again. On first startup, the plugin automatically installs dependencies and builds the MCP server (~10 seconds).

3. Configure your API token:

   /harmony-setup
   

   This saves the token to .claude/settings.local.json (gitignored) and verifies the connection.

4. Restart Claude Code one more time for the MCP server to pick up the token.

To receive automatic updates, run /plugin, go to the Marketplaces tab, select ycomplex, and enable auto-update.

Manual token configuration

If you prefer to set the token without /harmony-setup:

direnv — Create .envrc in your project root:

export HARMONY_API_TOKEN="hmy_your_token_here"

Claude Code settings — Create .claude/settings.local.json in your project root:

{
  "env": {
    "HARMONY_API_TOKEN": "hmy_your_token_here"
  }
}

Shell profile — Add export HARMONY_API_TOKEN="hmy_your_token_here" to ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc.

How it works

The plugin's SessionStart hook automatically installs dependencies and builds the TypeScript MCP server on first use. Subsequent sessions skip the build if dist/index.js already exists.

The MCP server starts automatically when the plugin is enabled and provides tools prefixed with mcp__harmony__ (e.g., mcp__harmony__get_task).
