muxd install-client

Register `muxd mcp` globally in your AI coding clients.

usage
muxd install-client [claude | claude-desktop | cursor | vscode | all] [--print]

Adds muxd to the user-level MCP configuration of each client found on this machine, so every project gets it without a per-project config. It registers the absolute path of the binary, so desktop apps that don't inherit your shell PATH can still start it.

Supported clients: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor and VS Code. Existing entries in the config files are preserved.

Arguments

[client]Which client to configure: claude, claude-desktop, cursor, vscode or all (default: every client found).optional

Options

--printPrint the config snippets instead of writing anything.

Examples

$ muxd install-client
$ muxd install-client cursor
$ muxd install-client --print

For clients muxd doesn't know, or to review before writing.

Notes

  • Restart the client, or reload its MCP servers, to pick up muxd.
