Installation

Quoth can be connected to any MCP-compatible AI tool. This guide covers installation for popular platforms.

Claude Code (CLI)

Plugin Installation (Recommended)

The Quoth Plugin bundles the MCP server, lightweight hooks (~60 tokens), and the /quoth-genesis skill:

# Add the Quoth marketplace (one time)
/plugin marketplace add Montinou/quoth-mcp

# Install the plugin
/plugin install quoth@quoth-marketplace

This gives you:

• All MCP tools including quoth_guidelines
• Lightweight hooks that hint Claude to use Quoth patterns
• 🪶 Badge transparency when Quoth is used

MCP-Only Installation

If you prefer just the MCP server without hooks:

claude mcp add --transport http quoth https://quoth.ai-innovation.site/api/mcp

Then authenticate from the /mcp menu.

Token-Based Installation

claude mcp add --transport http quoth https://quoth.ai-innovation.site/api/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"

Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "quoth": {
      "url": "https://quoth.ai-innovation.site/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Cursor supports MCP through its settings:

SSE Transport

For clients that require Server-Sent Events transport:

claude mcp add --transport sse quoth \
  "https://quoth.ai-innovation.site/api/mcp/sse?token=YOUR_TOKEN"

Public Demo (No Auth)

For testing without authentication (read-only access):

claude mcp add --transport http quoth-public \
  https://quoth.ai-innovation.site/api/mcp/public

Verify Installation

Test that Quoth is connected:

Search Quoth for "test patterns"

If connected, you'll see search results from the Quoth knowledge base.
