-Create, check, and reuse NEUS trust receipts from apps.
+Create, check, and reuse NEUS trust receipts from apps and backends. The same package ships the **`neus`** CLI for wiring **hosted NEUS MCP** into editors and agents.
 
-NEUS turns signed claims, ownership checks, account links, access rules, and verification results into portable receipts your app can store, display, and check later.
+NEUS makes trust portable across the internet so people, apps, and AI agents can prove what is real before access, payout, or execution.
 
-## Install
+## Install (library)
 
 ```bash
 npm install @neus/sdk
 ```
 
+## Connect editors and assistants (MCP)
+
+Use one command to merge NEUS into Cursor, VS Code, and Claude Code when those tools are detected. No separate NEUS editor extension is required.
+
+```bash
+npx -y -p @neus/sdk neus setup
+```
+
+Add your NEUS Profile access key in the same step (needed for account-aware tools such as `neus_me`):
+
+```bash
+npx -y -p @neus/sdk neus setup --access-key <npk_...>
+```
+
+Check configuration and connectivity:
+
+```bash
+npx -y -p @neus/sdk neus doctor
+```
+
+Create keys under **Profile → Account → Access keys** on [neus.network](https://neus.network/profile?tab=account). Never put access keys in browser bundles or public repos.
