Make Claude Code Better and Faster with Morph

Enhance your Claude Code experience with faster, more efficient code editing capabilities using Morph.

​
Overview

Morph provides enhanced code editing capabilities for Claude, offering faster processing and more efficient workflows. This guide will help you optimize your Claude Code setup for better performance.

​
What You’ll Need

  • A Morph API key (free tier available)

​
Step 1: Install Morph MCP for Fast Edits

Add the Morph MCP (Model Context Protocol) to Claude for enhanced file editing capabilities: 
claude mcp add filesystem-with-morph -e MORPH_API_KEY=your-api-key-here -e ALL_TOOLS=false -- npx @morph-llm/morph-fast-apply

​
Get Your Morph API Key

  1. Visit morphllm.com
  2. Sign up for a free account
  3. Generate an API key from your dashboard
  4. Replace your-api-key-here in the command above
Morph offers a free tier that’s perfect for getting started with enhanced code editing capabilities.

​
Step 2: Configure Claude to Use Morph

Update Claude’s instructions to prioritize the Morph editing tool: 
echo "IMPORTANT
ALWAYS use mcp_filesystem-with-morph_edit_file tool to make any code edits. Do not use the default edit tool." >> .claude/CLAUDE.md
This ensures that Claude will use Morph’s optimized editing capabilities instead of the default tools.
