MCP Setup
Local Kairn evidence delivery for supported editors and agent clients.
MCP is Kairn's portable integration path for supported editor and agent clients.
The kairn enable instructions below require the published v0.2 beta. If Kairn is not installed yet:
npm install -g usekairn@beta
kairn --version
cd /path/to/repoContinue only when kairn --version reports 0.2.0-beta.2 or a newer announced v0.2 beta.
Detect and configure supported local clients:
kairn enableYou can target specific integrations:
kairn enable --agents claude-code,gemini-cli,vscodeKairn previews Kairn-owned changes before writing configuration. Existing unrelated settings are preserved, and repeating the command does not duplicate entries.
Kairn runs as a local MCP server. The client connects to the local kairn command; no hosted Kairn server or Kairn API key is involved.
Use:
kairn bench mcp-smoketo verify the protocol path.
Setup support does not imply equal public efficacy validation. Codex remains the most-tested beta path; the evidence page states what has actually been measured.
