From the repository

Install via npm (npm install -g @tastehub/ckb) or Homebrew (brew install ckb). Initialize in a project with ckb init, optionally generate a SCIP index with ckb index, and connect to AI assistants like Claude Code using ckb setup. Use CLI commands (ckb search, ckb hotspots), start the HTTP API with ckb serve, or run the MCP server with ckb mcp for integration with AI tools.
