Claude Code Setup

Claude Code has a managed local-first Coppermind install path.

Recommended setup

npm install -g coppermind
coppermind setup
coppermind daemon start
coppermind doctor
coppermind mcp claude install

This writes the managed Claude Code MCP config for the local Coppermind runtime.

What this installer does

The installer prepares the Claude Code MCP registration and Coppermind instruction surface for the local runtime-backed path.

It does not install Claude Code itself.

How to know it worked

After restarting Claude Code:

• the Coppermind MCP server should be registered
• memory tools should be available
• the runtime should pass coppermind doctor

If it does not work

Start with:

coppermind doctor
coppermind doctor --check
coppermind daemon health

Then continue with Troubleshooting and Support.

If you wanted the cloud-only path instead

That is a different setup shape. Use Published Cloud MCP (Advanced) only when you explicitly want a direct cloud-connected MCP installation.
