MCP Tool Usage in Claude Code
**Tool:** `mcp__claude-flow__swarm_init`
Parameters
{"topology": "mesh", "maxAgents": 5, "strategy": "balanced"}Description
Set up a coordination topology to guide Claude Code's approach to complex tasks
Details
This tool creates a coordination framework that helps Claude Code:
- Break down complex problems systematically
- Approach tasks from multiple perspectives
- Maintain consistency across large projects
- Work more efficiently through structured coordination
Remember: This does NOT create actual coding agents. It creates a coordination pattern for Claude Code to follow.
Example Usage
**In Claude Code:** 1. Use the tool: `mcp__claude-flow__swarm_init` 2. With parameters: `{"topology": "mesh", "maxAgents": 5, "strategy": "balanced"}` 3. Claude Code then executes the coordinated plan using its native tools
Important Reminders
- โ This tool provides coordination and structure
- โ Claude Code performs all actual implementation
- โ The tool does NOT write code
- โ The tool does NOT access files directly
- โ The tool does NOT execute commands

An agent meta-harness for Claude Code and Codex. Agent = Model + Harness. The model writes; the harness gives it tools, memory, loops, sandboxes, and controls so it can actually work.
