Setting Up the CIDX CLI for MCP Integration
Quick Start
The CIDX CLI now uses npx for a seamless installation experience. No global installation required!
Log in to CIDX via terminal:
npx cidx@latest login
- This will open a browser window for GitHub login and securely store your token.
- Authorize CLI integration when prompted.
- Once complete, close the browser window and return to your terminal.
Verify your token is valid:
npx cidx@latest check
This confirms your token is working and your account is correctly configured.
Complete MCP installation in your IDE:
npx cidx@latest
Copy the output and paste it into the MCP installation window in your IDE to complete setup.
