+<!-- source: src/mcp/setup.js:738-755 -->
+
+## How Claude Code learns to use Niro
+
+- Six hooks in `~/.claude/settings.json`. A hook is a small command Claude Code runs at a fixed moment. Niro's hooks run after Claude Code compacts its memory, when you send a prompt, before searches and file reads, before a shell command that searches or reads source code, before an edit (the impact check), and when a task ends (the end-of-task line check).
+- A short section in `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md`.
+- Two skills: `~/.claude/skills/niro-skill` (how to use the tools) and `~/.claude/skills/niro-local` (how to manage Niro from chat).

+## Check that it works
+
+Ask it a question about your code, such as "which routes does this project serve?". An answer from Niro starts with "Answered from the local graph on this machine (niro-local)."
+<!-- source: src/mcp/localBackend.js:189 -->
+
+## Things to know
+
+- Claude Code is the only agent that gets hooks, so it is the one most likely to ask Niro first.
+- The impact check before an edit is advisory only. Turn it off with `touch ~/.niro/impact-gate-off`.
+- The shell reminder adds a short note when Claude Code runs `grep`, `rg`, `git grep`, `cat`, `head`, `tail`, `sed -n`, `awk`, `nl`, `less`, `bat` or `find -name` on source code in a folder Niro indexes. It never blocks the command, and it stays quiet for config, docs, logs, build output, a file changed in the last 10 minutes, and a command that reads a pipe (`ps aux | grep node`).
+- To check the connection, type `/mcp` inside Claude Code: `niro` should be listed as connected.
+- If Claude Code is not installed, the install says "Failed to register MCP server", gives the address to get Claude Code (https://claude.ai/code), and prints the command to run by hand.

+## What the install writes
+
+- The connection, in VS Code's user `mcp.json`, under `servers`:
+  - macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/mcp.json`
+  - Linux: `~/.config/Code/User/mcp.json`
+  - Windows: `%APPDATA%\Code\User\mcp.json`
+<!-- source: src/mcp/setup.js:314-330 -->
+
+## How VS Code (GitHub Copilot) learns to use Niro
+
+- Nothing beyond the connection.
+<!-- source: src/mcp/setup.js (no instruction file for vscode) -->
+
+## Check that it works
+
+Ask it a question about your code, such as "which routes does this project serve?". An answer from Niro starts with "Answered from the local graph on this machine (niro-local)."
+<!-- source: src/mcp/localBackend.js:189 -->
+
+## Things to know
+
+- This is GitHub Copilot inside VS Code, using VS Code's own MCP support. It is not Copilot's pull request review, which Niro does not support (see connect-review-bots.md).

+# Connect Windsurf to Niro
+
+**One command connects Windsurf to Niro:**
+
+```
+niro mcp install --client windsurf
+```
+
+Then restart Windsurf, because it reads its settings only when it starts.
