Set Up MCP

Claude Code (plugin path)

For Claude Code, the simplest setup is the official plugin — it registers the MCP server, skills, and subagents in one step and pulls the native binary via the @orbit-tools/cli npm proxy:

/plugin marketplace add danieljhkim/orbit
/plugin install orbit

Requires Node 18+ on PATH. Skip the rest of this page if you go this route; the plugin handles registration. Use the manual flow below for Codex, Gemini, Grok Build, or a Claude Code install you want to wire by hand.

Initialize (manual)

Use auto-detection:

orbit mcp init --auto

Or target a client explicitly:

orbit mcp init --claude
orbit mcp init --codex
orbit mcp init --gemini
orbit mcp init --grok

Grok Build uses the native .grok/config.toml format (similar to how Claude Code can use a config file). orbit mcp init --grok will create or update .grok/config.toml in your workspace root (or ~/.grok/config.toml for global).

Serve

Start the MCP surface:

orbit mcp serve

The surface includes task tools and graph read tools. Graph write tools are not exposed; write coordination is handled through task lock reservations before dispatch.

Remove

orbit mcp remove --all
