# Register tools with Claude Code
claude mcp add emacs-mcp-open emacs-mcp-open
claude mcp add emacs-mcp-magit emacs-mcp-magit
claude mcp add emacs-mcp-check emacs-mcp-check
claude mcp add emacs-mcp-list emacs-mcp-listFor development or manual setup:
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/toastynerd/emacs-mcp-server.git
cd emacs-mcp-server
# Install dependencies
npm install
