✅ Prerequisites

Node.js ≥ 18
Git (for template cloning)
(Optional) Docker ≥ 24 for localnet

🤖 MCP Server Installation

The ZetaChain CLI can be used as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, allowing AI assistants like Claude Code and Cursor to execute ZetaChain commands.

Local Installation (Recommended)

Install locally for full access to your filesystem, accounts, and localnet:

npm install -g zetachain
zetachain mcp install --client claude    # for Claude Code
# or
zetachain mcp install --client cursor    # for Cursor

Then restart your AI editor to activate the MCP server.

Check installation status:

zetachain mcp list

Remove:

zetachain mcp remove --client claude

Cloud Installation (Smithery)

For quick setup without local installation, visit Smithery and click "One-Click Install".

⚠️ Note: The cloud version runs on remote servers and cannot access your local files, accounts, or localnet.
