Install Sverklo

  1. Install globally: npm install -g sverklo
  2. Initialize in your project: cd your-project && sverklo init

The tool will auto-detect your installed AI coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed), write the right MCP config, append instructions to AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md, and run sverklo doctor to verify the setup.

For Claude Desktop, add to your Claude Desktop configuration:

"mcpServers": {
  "sverklo": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "sverklo"]
  }
}
