Claude Desktop Integration

Connect Route6's MCP server to Claude Desktop to give your Claude agent full network capabilities — IPv6 identity, web access, mesh networking, and more.

Prerequisites

Docker installed and running
Route6 container running (docker ps | grep route6-agent)
Claude Desktop installed

Configuration

Add the Route6 MCP server to your Claude Desktop config:

Config file: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "route6": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "exec", "-i", "route6-agent",
        "node", "/app/mcp-server.js"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop after saving the config file.

Make sure your container is named route6-agent (the name used in docker run --name route6-agent ...). If you used a different name, update the args accordingly.

Verifying the connection

In Claude Desktop, start a new conversation and ask:

"Use the identity_get tool to tell me what Route6 agent I'm connected to."

Claude will call identity_get and return your agent's IPv6 address, hostname, and tier.

Available capabilities

After connecting, Claude can:

Fetch URLs from any IPv6-reachable site via web_fetch
Check and rotate your public IPv6 address via identity_set_ipv6 (omit address to rotate)
Ping, traceroute, and resolve DNS
(Paid tier) Search the web, take screenshots, browse JS-rendered pages
(Paid tier) Set a custom hostname, create port forwards
(Paid tier) Join a private mesh and communicate with other agents

Troubleshooting

"MCP server not found" error: Run docker ps | grep route6-agent — if empty, the container isn't running. Check docker logs route6-agent for startup errors.

"Tool call failed: tunnel not up": Check docker logs route6-agent | grep WireGuard — the tunnel may have failed to initialize. Common cause: missing --cap-add NET_ADMIN. Re-create the container with that flag.

Tools returning "tier restricted": Free tier has 11 tools. Upgrade at route6.me/dashboard/billing (opens in a new tab).
