# Quick Start Guide
## TL;DR - Get Running in 2 Steps
### Step 1: Install Qwen CLI (if not already installed)
```bash
npm install -g @qwen/cli
```
### Step 2: Add to Claude Code (One Command!)
```bash
claude mcp add qwen-cli -- npx -y @jaggerxtrm/qwen-mcp-tool
```
Restart Claude Code, and you're done! š

## Alternative: Manual Installation (3 Steps)
### Step 1: Install Qwen CLI (if not already installed)
```bash
npm install -g @qwen/cli
```
### Step 2: Install qwen-mcp-tool
```bash
npm install -g @jaggerxtrm/qwen-mcp-tool
```
### Step 3: Configure Claude Code
Find your Claude Code MCP settings file:
- Linux: `~/.config/claude/mcp_settings.json`
- macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/mcp_settings.json`
- Windows: `%APPDATA%\Claude\mcp_settings.json`
Add this configuration:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"qwen-cli": {
"command": "qwen-mcp-tool"
}
}
}
```
Restart Claude Code, and you're done! š

## Testing It Works
In Claude Code, try:
```
Use the ping tool
```
Expected response:
```
Pong!
```
Or try a real query:
```
Use ask-qwen with prompt "What models are available?"
```
---
## First Real Use
Try analyzing a file:
```
Use ask-qwen with prompt "@README.md Summarize this file"
```
Or analyze code:
```
Use ask-qwen with prompt "@src/ What's the architecture of this codebase?"
```

## Common Issues
### "qwen: command not found"
Install Qwen CLI: `npm install -g @qwen/cli`
### "qwen-mcp-tool: command not found"
Install the package: `npm install -g @jaggerxtrm/qwen-mcp-tool`
### Claude doesn't recognize the tools
1. Check your MCP settings file path
2. Verify JSON syntax (no trailing commas!)
3. Restart Claude Code completely
