One command. No copy-paste.
Install Zephex in 30 seconds
A single command opens your browser, signs you in, creates an API key, and writes the config file for the editor you choose.
$ npx zephex setupRequires Node.js 18+ — works on macOS, Linux, and Windows.

Two ways to connect
The wizard asks how you want your AI agent to access Zephex. Pick one — or skip the prompt with a flag.
Mode 1
MCP server
The wizard signs you in, creates an API key, and writes the right MCP config file for your editor. Best for Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code, OpenCode, Codex, Gemini CLI, Antigravity, and TRAE.
$ npx zephex setup --mcp --cursorMode 2
CLI + Skills
Drops a single zephex.md skill file that tells your AI agent to use Zephex tools when they fit the task. No browser auth, no API key, no editor config.
$ npx zephex setup --cli --universalRun the command
npx zephex setup — pick your editor from the menu, or skip the menu by passing a flag.
Sign in once
Your browser opens to zephex.dev. Sign in to your account — the CLI creates a key for you.
Restart editor
The wizard writes the right config file in the right place. Restart your editor and Zephex tools are available.
Editor shortcuts
Skip the editor-selection menu by passing a flag.

Verify connection
Confirm that an editor is configured correctly and the key works against the live endpoint.
$ npx zephex statusInstall AI agent skill
Drop an AGENTS.md skill file into your project so Cursor/Claude/Codex use Zephex tools proactively.
$ npx zephex skillsProject-scoped install
Write the config into the current project instead of your home directory.
$ npx zephex setup --cursor --projectWhat gets written?
The wizard deep-merges only the zephex entry — every other MCP server in your config is preserved.
{
"mcpServers": {
"zephex": {
"url": "https://zephex.dev/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer mcp_prod_xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx..."
}
}
}
}Working over SSH or in CI?
The wizard detects headless sessions and prints manual setup steps instead of trying to open a browser. Visit /dashboard/api-keys to create a key, then paste the config block from there into your editor.
