Quick Start#

The fastest way to get started is to install the Playbooks CLI, then use its MCP setup helpers.

Installation#

Terminal
npm install -g @playbooks/cli

Choose the MCP client you want to use:

Terminal
playbooks mcp claude
playbooks mcp cursor
playbooks mcp codex
playbooks mcp vscode

These helpers add @playbooks/mcp to the matching client config for you.

Once the client is connected, make sure your Playbooks session is ready:

Terminal
playbooks login
playbooks ping

If playbooks ping returns a success response, your MCP client should be ready to use in a fresh chat.
