Quick Start

This guide will help you connect Quoth to your AI tool and start using it to improve your AI-assisted development workflow.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

• An AI tool that supports MCP (Model Context Protocol)
  • Claude Desktop
  • Claude Code (CLI)
  • Cursor
  • Or any MCP-compatible client
• A Quoth account (free tier available)

Step 1: Create an Account

Step 2: Connect Your AI Tool

Claude Code (Recommended)

Install the Quoth Plugin to get everything: MCP server, lightweight hooks, 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

MCP-Only Setup

If you prefer just the MCP tools without hooks:

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

When prompted, select "Authenticate" from the /mcp menu. Your browser will open for login.

Step 3: Initialize Your Knowledge Base

Run Genesis to automatically document your codebase:

/quoth-genesis

Or ask Claude directly: "Run Genesis to document this project"

Genesis will analyze your code and create documentation for:

• Project structure and architecture
• Tech stack and dependencies
• Coding conventions and patterns

Step 4: Start Building

Now when you write code with AI assistance, Claude will automatically receive hints to use Quoth patterns. You can also explicitly ask for guidelines:

Use quoth_guidelines('code') and search for authentication patterns
"Create a new API endpoint for user authentication"

Claude will search your knowledge base before generating code, ensuring it follows your documented patterns. When Quoth is used, you'll see the 🪶 badge showing which patterns were applied.
