Run Claude Code as a one-shot MCP tool so other agents and editors can delegate coding tasks to it. An agent-in-agent orchestration bridge.

## Prerequisites

Claude Code CLI (installed and authenticated), Node.js v20+, MCP-compatible client

## Installation

- npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
- npm test
- npm run test:unit
- npm run test:e2e
