Wakatime tools appear as mcp__metorial__<tool>. Use that name in permission rules to allow or deny a tool.
Run /mcp to see whether Metorial is connected and to sign in again.
Claude Code warns when a tool result passes 10,000 tokens and caps it at 25,000 by default. Raise the cap with MAX_MCP_OUTPUT_TOKENS.
Pre-approve trusted Wakatime tools with allow rules in your settings so Claude Code stops asking each time.

claude mcp list shows "Needs authentication": Run /mcp, select Metorial, and sign in. If sign-in keeps failing, choose Clear authentication in the same menu and sign in again.
A teammate sees "Pending approval": Servers shared through a project .mcp.json need approval. Run claude in the project and approve Metorial when asked.
Large tool results are cut off: Claude Code limits MCP tool output to 25,000 tokens by default. Raise it with the MAX_MCP_OUTPUT_TOKENS environment variable.
