 ## Requirements
 
-- Node.js 22+. Node 22 or 24 LTS is recommended.
-- An MCP client that can run a local stdio server.
-- Network access to Sui mainnet gRPC for runtime startup validation and to Sui mainnet GraphQL for user-requested activity reads.
+- Install Node.js 22 or newer; Node 24 LTS is a suitable choice. The [Node.js download page](https://nodejs.org/en/download) provides installers that include npm.
+- Install the AI app you want to use. It must support running a local MCP server. MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets the app call Sui MCP's tools.
+- Allow network access to npm for installation and Sui mainnet services for reads. Default Sui endpoints are built in; no API key or endpoint configuration is needed for the default path.
+
+Open Terminal on macOS/Linux, or PowerShell on Windows, and check:
+
+```sh
+node --version
+npm --version
+```
+
+Node must report `v22` or newer, and npm must print a version. If either command is missing, install Node.js and reopen the terminal before continuing. You can run the installation commands from any folder.
+
+Interactive cards require the app's MCP Apps support. A local stdio connection alone does not establish card support. Clients without it can use ordinary read tools, including public-address reads, but cannot run Connect, Disconnect, Review or Settings workflows. The wallet-free text example below works without cards.
+
+## Published Package Setup
+
+### Install once with npm
+
+Check that the version described by this guide is available:
+
+```sh
+npm view @zktx.io/sui-mcp@0.8.0 version
+```
+
+The result must be `0.8.0`. If the version is unavailable, stop here; see [NPM command returns 404](#npm-command-returns-404). Wait for publication, use the documentation for an available release, or deliberately choose the optional [developer checkout](#developer-checkout-setup). Dropping the version from the install command can install a different release.
+
+Install the published package:
+
+```sh
+npm install -g @zktx.io/sui-mcp@0.8.0
+```
+
+Install once in the Node/npm environment your apps use, then register each app separately. `-g` makes the executable available across projects; it does not automatically configure every app or grant access to other operating-system users. The installed version stays in place until you explicitly update it.
+
+Use the full scoped name `@zktx.io/sui-mcp`: the unscoped npm package `sui-mcp` is a different project that can expose the same executable name. The package supplies a command named `sui-mcp`; use that command in the app configurations below. No runtime arguments, environment variables, repository path, database installation or WalletConnect project ID are needed for default setup.
+
+If installation reports a permission error, see [Global installation permission error](#global-installation-permission-error). If the app cannot find the installed command, see [Command not found](#command-not-found).
+
+## Codex
+
+Codex Desktop, CLI and IDE integrations on the same Codex host share MCP configuration. You can configure the desktop app without installing the CLI separately.
+
+1. Open `~/.codex/config.toml` in a plain-text editor; create the folder/file if it does not exist. On macOS, Finder → Go → Go to Folder accepts `~/.codex`. On Windows, the default file is `%USERPROFILE%\.codex\config.toml`.
+2. Add the following table. If it already exists, update it instead of adding another one. Keep unrelated configuration in the file.
+
+```toml
+[mcp_servers.sui-mcp]
+command = "sui-mcp"
+```
+
+3. If the server was previously disabled, enable its entry in MCP settings. Save the configuration and fully restart Codex once to load it; an additional Refresh is not needed after that restart. Do this between tasks because restarting or refreshing can interrupt an active session.
+4. In a new chat, use the [first question](#first-use-flow) below to confirm the running package and version. Seeing a configuration entry alone does not confirm that the server started.
+
+If you already use Codex CLI, this command is an alternative to editing TOML, not an additional step:
+
+```sh
+codex mcp add sui-mcp -- sui-mcp
+```
+
+Run `codex mcp list` or use `/mcp` inside the terminal UI to inspect configured servers. No custom timeout values are required for the normal global-install configuration. See the [official Codex MCP guide](https://developers.openai.com/codex/mcp) for configuration options.
+
+## Claude Desktop
+
+1. Open the desktop app's Settings → Developer → Edit Config. This is the desktop app configuration, not the web account settings.
+2. Add `sui-mcp` under `mcpServers` in `claude_desktop_config.json`. For an otherwise empty configuration, use:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "sui-mcp": {
+      "command": "sui-mcp"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+If `mcpServers` already contains other entries, add only the `sui-mcp` member and a comma between members. Keep other servers and settings; do not replace the entire file. JSON does not allow comments or trailing commas.
+
+The configuration file is normally at:
+
+- macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
+- Windows: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
+
+3. Save the file, fully quit Claude Desktop and reopen it.
+4. Start a new chat and use the [first question](#first-use-flow) below. The app may ask you to allow tool use. A successful server-status response confirms the connection.
+
+If the server does not appear, the MCP logs are normally at `~/Library/Logs/Claude` on macOS or `%APPDATA%\Claude\logs` on Windows. General connection logs use `mcp.log`; the server's stderr is in `mcp-server-sui-mcp.log`. The [official local-server walkthrough](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/develop/connect-local-servers) illustrates the Developer configuration screen.
+
+## Claude Code
+
+With Claude Code installed, run this in a terminal:
+
+```sh
+claude mcp add --transport stdio --scope user sui-mcp -- sui-mcp
+```
+
+The user scope makes this registration available across your projects. Use `--scope local` for only the current project, or `--scope project` to share a `.mcp.json` registration with a project. Choose one scope; do not register duplicate copies for normal setup. CLI options precede the server name; `--` separates them from the server command.
+
+Start a new Claude Code session. Use `/mcp` to inspect the connection, then ask the [first question](#first-use-flow). You can also inspect the registration with:
+
+```sh
+claude mcp get sui-mcp
+```
+
+After a configuration change, restart the session so it starts the new command. See the [official Claude Code MCP guide](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/mcp) for scope and connection details.
+
+## Cursor
+
+1. Open or create `~/.cursor/mcp.json` for a user-wide registration. On Windows, this is normally `%USERPROFILE%\.cursor\mcp.json`. For only one project, use that project's `.cursor/mcp.json` instead; you do not need both.
+2. Add this configuration, preserving any other members already in `mcpServers`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "sui-mcp": {
+      "type": "stdio",
+      "command": "sui-mcp"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+3. Save and restart Cursor. Open its MCP management view (Customize → MCP in current versions), check that `sui-mcp` is enabled, and allow the connection if prompted.
+4. Start an Agent chat and ask the [first question](#first-use-flow). A returned server status confirms startup. If it fails, inspect the server's error in the MCP management view or the MCP Logs channel in Output.
+
+See the [official Cursor MCP guide](https://cursor.com/docs/mcp) if your version presents these settings differently.
+
+## First Use Flow
+
+### 1. Confirm the running server
+
+After registering your app, paste this into a new chat, not a terminal:
+
+```text
+Use Sui MCP to show its package name, server name, version and network.
+```
+
+The app should call `read_get_server_status`. Confirm `packageName` is `@zktx.io/sui-mcp`, `serverName` is `sui-mcp`, `version` is `0.8.0` and `network` is `mainnet`. These are the expected identifiers, not a sample observation. If the version differs, use [Updating an Existing Sui MCP Installation](#updating-an-existing-sui-mcp-installation) rather than assuming the new installation replaced a running server.
+
+### 2. Try a read without connecting a wallet
+
+```text
+Use Sui MCP to list the available DeepBook pools on Sui mainnet.
+```
+
+The app should call `read_list_deepbook_pools` and return pool names and trading assets. Results can change; no fixed pool count or price is required. This request needs no wallet, funds, card, signature or transaction. A successful status response followed by this read confirms that the app can reach Sui MCP and use a mainnet read tool. If a network read fails, use the returned reason and [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting); do not connect a wallet to fix it.
+
+If you want to try an interactive read card in an MCP Apps-capable app, ask:
+
+```text
+Show a DeepBook SUI/USDC price chart in Sui MCP.
+```
+
+Expect a read-only Chart card with candle data, or an explicit source/availability result. A chart-data failure is separate from installation failure. No wallet connection or signing is involved. An app without the required card support can still use the text read above.
+
+### 3. Optionally connect your wallet for asset reads
+
+This is separate from installation. Use an app that can display MCP Apps cards and a wallet that supports WalletConnect for the requested networks.
+
+The initial network selection is Sui. To request Ethereum and/or Solana addresses as well, first ask "Open my Sui MCP Settings card", choose Wallet networks, select the networks and choose Save networks. These choices apply only to the next connection. Other-chain addresses do not enable other-chain financial actions.
+
+Then ask:
+
+```text
+Connect my wallet using Sui MCP.
+```
+
+The internal Connect card checks current state and displays a QR for its one request. Scan it with your wallet and approve the connection. This is connection approval, not transaction approval. A completed card shows its fixed result without addresses, QR or further controls.
+
+Ask "Show my current Sui MCP connection and wallet balances". The agent reads `session_get_interaction_status` and, when its Sui read context is usable, `read_summarize_wallet_assets`. A wallet can approve only a subset of requested networks; only valid returned addresses are usable. Change wallet, address or approved networks by asking to disconnect, confirming the separate Disconnect card, and requesting a new connection.
+
+You can instead supply a Sui public address for a tool that accepts `account`; connecting a wallet is not required for that explicit-address read. DeepBook account inventory requires the current connected Sui read address and does not accept an explicit address input.
+
+### For agents
+
+Use the user's request to select subsequent read tools; do not run a tool checklist as installation work. `read_classify_wallet_assets` classifies coin balances, `read_preview_intent_evidence` handles supported USD-denominated questions, `read_summarize_deepbook_account_inventory` reads connected-account inventory, and the Sui activity tools provide bounded activity reads. For saved review evidence, use `read_list_review_activity`, `read_summarize_review_funnel` or `read_get_review_session_detail`.
+
+Before evidence-policy checks, record `packageName`, `version`, `evidencePolicy.version`, `network` and the returned numeric `implementedToolsCount` from `read_get_server_status`; do not hand-count the tool array. Use `session_get_interaction_status.assetReadAccount` to determine whether implicit asset reads are usable; `account_get_active_account` alone reports stored read context, not a usable connection. Read/wait on a connection card only by its returned `cardId`. Settings and wallet changes require the user's scoped card actions. Follow [MCP Tools](MCP_TOOLS.md) and [Agent Behavior](AGENT_BEHAVIOR.md) for exact contracts and question flows.
+
+## Using Multiple Apps
+
+You can use Sui MCP from several local apps at the same time, for example Codex and Claude Desktop on the same computer under the same operating-system user. Install the npm package once and register `sui-mcp` in each app; you do not need a separate server installation or wallet pairing per app.
+
+With default settings, the apps automatically use the same local backend, data folder, saved settings and one current wallet connection. A connection made or disconnected in one app affects the current connection seen by the others. There is still only one connection with one fixed address per approved chain, not one wallet connection per app. Completed cards keep their original results; another app's actions do not reopen or rewrite them. Transaction approval is required for every transaction.
+
+All participating apps must use the same package release and configuration. If you deliberately override `SUI_MCP_DATA_DIR` or `SUI_MCP_REVIEW_PORT`, use the same values in every app; these overrides are not needed for normal setup. An incompatible running backend is refused rather than replaced. This sharing is local to the computer/user, not a remote or cloud connection.
+
+When updating the package or applying stored endpoint changes, stop Sui MCP in all participating apps and let the shared backend exit before reopening them. Closing one chat or one app may leave the backend running for the others. Follow [Updating an Existing Sui MCP Installation](#updating-an-existing-sui-mcp-installation); an ordinary second-app registration does not require reinstalling the package or repeating a completed connection test.

 }

-No install step, and each launch resolves the latest published version. The

-then restart the client:
-
-```bash
-npx -y @zktx.io/sui-mcp
-# after the server binds or a healthy peer is confirmed, stop it with Ctrl-C
-```

-The startup log reports either an owned shared server or an authenticated healthy
-peer. A bootstrap failure instead reports its stage and reason on stderr.

-## Codex
-
-Codex CLI supports stdio MCP servers and stores MCP settings in `config.toml`; by default this is `~/.codex/config.toml`, and trusted projects can use `.codex/config.toml`.

-## First Use Flow
-
-After the MCP server is connected:
-
-1. Call `read.get_server_status` and record `packageName`, `version`, `evidencePolicy.version`, `network`, and `implementedToolsCount` before running evidence-policy checks. Use the returned numeric `implementedToolsCount` field instead of hand-counting the tool array.
-2. Use wallet-free read tools directly when you need market context:
-   - `read.list_deepbook_pools`
-   - `read.list_deepbook_tokens`
-   - `read.get_deepbook_mid_price`
-   - `read.inspect_deepbook_orderbook`
-   - `read.quote_deepbook_action`
-   - `read.quote_deepbook_display_amount`
-3. For wallet-account reads, call `session.create_wallet_connection`.
-4. Use the internal Connect card in Claude Desktop or Codex desktop and explicitly choose the connection operation.
-5. Scan the card’s pairing QR in a Sui mainnet wallet and approve the connection. This is not approval of a transaction.
-6. Read or wait on the returned cardId. A card that still needs a selection does not have a pending pairing. Select an approved account explicitly if the wallet provides several.
-7. Call `session.get_interaction_status` to check the connection and available default asset account. `account.get_active_account` separately reports the stored selection.
-   Then call the read tool that matches the user's request:
-   - `read.summarize_wallet_assets` for balances.
-   - `read.classify_wallet_assets` for coin-balance roles.
-   - `read.preview_intent_evidence` for natural-language USD-denominated coverage or settlement-asset balance-total evidence.
-   - `read.summarize_deepbook_account_inventory` for DeepBook manager or pool-account inventory.
-   - `read.summarize_sui_activity_scan` for a live bounded activity summary.
-   - `read.summarize_sui_function_activity_scan` for sent transactions that called one full function target.
-   If the selected tool accepts `account` and the user supplied a Sui address, pass it instead of starting wallet connection. DeepBook account inventory has no explicit address input.
-8. For local review evidence, use `read.list_review_activity`, `read.summarize_review_funnel`, or `read.get_review_session_detail`.
-9. For local endpoint settings or local data controls, ask your AI client to call `settings.create_local_settings_session`, then use the internal card controls. Setting changes apply after restart.

 ## Troubleshooting
 
+### Global installation permission error
+
+An `EACCES` or administrator-permission error means npm cannot write to its global installation directory. On macOS/Linux, if that directory is administrator-owned and you intend to install there, run the installer with administrator authorization:
+
+```sh
+sudo npm install -g @zktx.io/sui-mcp@0.8.0
+```
+
+Enter the administrator password only in your terminal, never in chat. Launch the AI apps normally afterward; running Sui MCP does not require administrator privileges. If you cannot authorize that installation, follow npm's [global installation permission guidance](https://docs.npmjs.com/resolving-eacces-permissions-errors-when-installing-packages-globally). This step is only for a permission failure, not an extra installation step for everyone.
+
+### Command not found
+
+If the app reports that `sui-mcp` cannot be found, fully reopen it after installing Node.js and the package. Apps must be able to find Node.js and npm's global executables in their `PATH` (the list of folders used to locate commands).
+
+Find the installed executable in a terminal:
+
+```sh
+# macOS / Linux
+command -v sui-mcp
+```
+
+```powershell
+# Windows PowerShell
+where.exe sui-mcp
+```
+
+If no path is returned, check `npm list -g @zktx.io/sui-mcp --depth=0` in the Node/npm environment used for installation. If the terminal finds it but the app does not, use the returned absolute executable path as the registration's `command` and ensure the app can also find Node.js. This is an environment repair, not a required custom installation location. See [npm's executable location rules](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v11/configuring-npm/folders#executables).
+
+On native Windows, if the app cannot launch the npm command shim directly, use `cmd /c`. Inside a JSON server entry, use:
+
+```json
+{
+  "command": "cmd",
+  "args": ["/c", "sui-mcp"]
+}
+```
+
+The corresponding Codex table is:
+
+```toml
+[mcp_servers.sui-mcp]
+command = "cmd"
+args = ["/c", "sui-mcp"]
+```
+
+If another package owns the global `sui-mcp` command, use the scoped, exact-version [npx alternative](#download-on-demand-npx) instead. Confirm the package identity through `read_get_server_status`; the executable name alone is not proof of which package is running.

+1. Open a Connect card using `session_open_wallet_connection_card` with empty input.
 2. The card prepares the QR after confirming current state.
 3. Scan it and approve the Sui mainnet connection in your wallet.
-4. Read or wait on that cardId; select an approved read account when required.
-5. Confirm connection availability with `session.get_interaction_status`. Stored read context alone is not a usable default for current asset reads.
+4. Read or wait on that `cardId`, then inspect current addresses through `session_get_interaction_status`. See [Session Tools](MCP_TOOLS.md#session-tools) for exact-operation reads and [Wallet Connection](WALLET_CONNECTION.md#one-connection-fixed-addresses) for fixed network results.
+5. Confirm connection availability with `session_get_interaction_status`. Stored read context alone is not sufficient for current asset reads. If Settings cleared the read address, that does not mean the wallet disconnected; the same connection does not automatically restore the address.
 
-If the user supplied a specific Sui address for `read.summarize_wallet_assets` or `read.classify_wallet_assets`, pass that address as `account` instead of creating a wallet connection session.

 ### NPM command returns 404
 
 A 404 means the requested package or version could not be retrieved from the
 selected registry. Confirm the exact name and version, for example with
-`npm view @zktx.io/sui-mcp@0.6.2 version --registry=https://registry.npmjs.org`.
+`npm view @zktx.io/sui-mcp@0.8.0 version --registry=https://registry.npmjs.org`.
 A new version may not have been published or become visible yet; a mistyped name
 or an alternate/private registry can also explain the response. Check the
 publication result and registry configuration before retrying. Do not assume

 ## Client Snippets
 
-The Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, and Cursor snippets above were checked against official client documentation current to this repository update. If a client changes its MCP config format, prefer that client's official documentation over this file and update this file in the same change.
+The registration formats follow the official [Codex MCP guide](https://developers.openai.com/codex/mcp), [Claude Desktop walkthrough](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/develop/connect-local-servers), [Claude Code MCP guide](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/mcp), and [Cursor MCP guide](https://cursor.com/docs/mcp). App menu labels can vary by version; use the official guide for your installed version. These configuration examples do not claim that every app supports the same card or file functions. Sui MCP uses the actual connection's capabilities and function responses.
