Installation

Runtime requirements

Verified from the repository:

• the monorepo root declares node >=18
• the CLI package also declares node >=18
• check-env treats Node.js 18+ as required

Install the CLI

The published package name is currently:

mcpkit-cli

After installation, the command you run is:

mcpkit

npm

npm install -g mcpkit-cli
mcpkit --help

Bun

bun add -g mcpkit-cli
mcpkit --help

Supported package managers during project creation

mcpkit init supports:

• bun
• npm
• pnpm

The default is bun unless you pass --package-manager.

If you do not have Bun installed yet, use an explicit package-manager flag:

mcpkit init my-server --template basic --package-manager npm --yes

Verify your environment

mcpkit check-env

For machine-readable output:

mcpkit check-env --json

Interactive and non-interactive modes

Interactive

mcpkit init

Interactive mode requires a TTY.

Non-interactive

mcpkit init my-server --template http --package-manager npm --yes

Current behavior in --yes mode:

• a project name is required
• --template is required
• dependencies are installed automatically

If you are ready to create a working project, continue with Quick Start.
