Set Up MCP

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, or a Claude Code install you want to wire by hand.

Use auto-detection:

Terminal window
orbit mcp init --auto

Or target a client explicitly:

Terminal window
orbit mcp init --claude
orbit mcp init --codex
orbit mcp init --gemini

Start the MCP surface:

Terminal window
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.

Terminal window
orbit mcp remove --all
