MCP Tool Usage in Claude Code

**Tool:** `mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn`

Parameters

{"type": "researcher", "name": "Literature Analysis", "capabilities": ["deep-analysis"]}

Description

Define cognitive patterns that represent different approaches Claude Code can take

Details

Agent types represent thinking patterns, not actual coders:

• **researcher**: Systematic exploration approach
• **coder**: Implementation-focused thinking
• **analyst**: Data-driven decision making
• **architect**: Big-picture system design
• **reviewer**: Quality and consistency checking

These patterns guide how Claude Code approaches different aspects of your task.

Example Usage

**In Claude Code:** 1. Use the tool: `mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn` 2. With parameters: `{"type": "researcher", "name": "Literature Analysis", "capabilities": ["deep-analysis"]}` 3. Claude Code then executes the coordinated plan using its native tools

Important Reminders

• ✅ This tool provides coordination and structure
• ✅ Claude Code performs all actual implementation
• ❌ The tool does NOT write code
