# Quickstart

> Connect Naridon to your AI tool in under 60 seconds. One command, zero JSON editing.

## One command

```bash theme={null}
npx @naridon/mcp-server install
```

That's it. The installer guides you through the rest:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Detects your AI tools">
    The installer scans for Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Desktop, Cline, and Continue. You pick which to configure (or all of them).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Picks scope">
    Choose **global** (use Naridon in every project) or **project** (only this directory's `.mcp.json`).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Signs you in">
    Opens your browser to Naridon. You're already logged in, so one click authorizes the CLI. The dashboard mints a scoped API key and sends it to the installer over a loopback address.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Writes your config">
    The installer adds Naridon to your AI tool's MCP config, preserving any other servers you already have.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verifies the connection">
    Calls `/whoami` to confirm the key works, prints which shop and plan you're connected to.
  </Step>
</Steps>

After it finishes, restart your AI tool and ask:

> *"What's my Naridon visibility score?"*

<Note>
  If you'd rather not run a script, see [Manual setup](/integrations/mcp/manual-setup) for the JSON config.
</Note>

## What gets created

A new API key on your shop named something like `CLI install 2026-04-10` with these scopes:

* `read:dashboard`
* `read:fixes`
* `read:prompts`
* `read:competitors`
* `write:fixes`
* `write:prompts`
* `trigger:scan`

You can review and revoke it any time from **Settings → API Keys** in the dashboard.

## Re-running the installer

Safe to run as many times as you want. Existing config entries are preserved — only the `naridon` MCP server entry is updated.

```bash theme={null}
# Add Naridon to a different AI tool
npx @naridon/mcp-server install

# Add Naridon to a project (after running globally first)
cd ~/my-project
npx @naridon/mcp-server install
# pick "Project" scope
```

## Troubleshooting

If something looks wrong, the most useful thing you can do is ask your AI tool:

> *"Call the whoami tool and tell me which shop I'm connected to."*

The `whoami` tool reports your shop, organization, plan, and the scopes the key has — almost every "it's not working" issue is diagnosable from that single response.
