I installed everything but it keeps saying 'No agents connected yet'.

I installed everything like the instruction and also installed Claude Desktop but when I run claudeAddin() and click 'Start Server', it keeps on saying 'No agents connected yet'. When I start a new session on my Claude and give it tasks, it does nothing on my R studio. Please tell me how to fix this problem.

Make sure to tell your agent to use the MCP R tools it has access to. It must run the specific MCP R tools in order to interface with RStudio.

Try this: "You have access to RStudio via your MCP R tools. Only use the MCP R tools for this session. Begin by exploring their functionality."

Thanks but it still doesn't seem to be working.

All it says is this:

---

Looking at my available tools, I don't actually see any RStudio or R-related MCP tools connected to this session. The MCP servers currently connected are:

Gmail (https://gmail.mcp.claude.com/mcp)
Google Calendar (https://gcal.mcp.claude.com/mcp)

No R or RStudio MCP server appears to be active. This could mean:

The R MCP server isn't connected yet — you may need to enable it in your Claude.ai settings under the connectors/integrations section.
It may need to be set up separately — RStudio MCP integration sometimes requires running a local MCP server (e.g., via the r-mcp or similar package) and connecting it to Claude.

To get set up, you could:

Check Settings → Integrations/Connectors in Claude.ai to see if an R or RStudio option is available to enable
If using a local RStudio MCP server, make sure it's running and properly configured

I guess I should touch the settings but I don't know what...
Can you please help?

Hm. Are you on the browser, or the desktop app?

[01leeja-ai]

I'm using the desktop app.

Can you do the following so we can debug?

In the RStudio console run:

ClaudeR::install_clauder()
Once that is done, quit and reopen the app and then try out the tools.

If that still fails, then in the RStudio console run:

ClaudeR:::configure()

And then paste the output here.
