Installation requires Node.js 16+, npm or yarn, and cmake-js installed globally. Clone the repository, build the libnut core library from source, then run npm install and npm run build. For Claude for Desktop, edit the claude_desktop_config.json file to add an MCP server entry with "command": "node" and "args" pointing to the absolute path of build/index.js. Restart Claude for Desktop and confirm the hammer icon appears.
