 ## Install
 
-**Claude Code:** the plugin above, or the server alone:
+`npx -y jevway setup` registers jevway with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and OpenCode (Claude Code also has the plugin
+above). Any other stdio MCP client runs `npx -y -p jevway jevway-mcp` (or `npx -y jevway mcp`).
+`npx -y jevway setup --client <claude-code|codex|cursor|opencode|other> --print` prints the exact command or config for
+one client and changes nothing; every client's is listed in [`jevway setup`](docs/reference.md#jevway-setup), and
+[SETUP.md](SETUP.md) has the steps an agent follows, with the rules and checks. jevway is also listed in the official
+MCP Registry as `io.github.abdallahaho/jevway`, for clients that install from it.
 
-```bash
-claude mcp add jevway -s user -- npx -y -p jevway jevway-mcp

-
-```bash
-codex mcp add jevway -- npx -y -p jevway jevway-mcp

+Outside the Claude Code plugin, install the skill with `npx -y jevway skill --install <your agent's skills folder>`, so

+`npm install -g jevway` once and use `jevway-mcp` as the command.
