From the repository
What arguments are required to install a tool?
You need a tool URL or short ID (e.g., 0f1234de) and an API key for verification. The client is optional; if omitted you will be prompted.
Which clients are supported?
Claude Desktop, Windsurf (Codeium), Cursor, VS Code, and VS Code Insiders.
How do I list detected clients on my machine?
Run npx -y heurist-mcp-cli list. It will show clients where the tool can be installed.
Can I use a different package manager to run the CLI?
Yes. Use bunx heurist-mcp-cli or pnpm dlx heurist-mcp-cli instead of npx.
Do I need to specify a client every time?
No. If you omit the [client] argument, the installer will prompt you to select one from the clients it detects.
