Quick Start Guide CLI Reference

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard that lets AI assistants access external tools and data sources. GNO implements an MCP server that gives your AI access to your local documents.

Quick Setup

Claude Desktop

gno mcp install

Restart Claude Desktop. GNO tools will appear in the tool list.

Claude Code

# User-level (all projects)
gno mcp install --target claude-code

# Project-level (current project only)
gno mcp install --target claude-code --scope project

Check Status

gno mcp status

Shows which clients have GNO configured.

Advanced Setup

For manual configuration or unsupported clients, add to the client’s MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gno": {
      "command": "/path/to/bun",
      "args": ["/path/to/gno", "mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Note: Use absolute paths. Claude Desktop runs in a sandboxed environment with a limited PATH.

Config Locations

Client	Path
Claude Desktop (macOS)	`~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
Claude Code (user)	`~/.claude.json`
Claude Code (project)	`./.mcp.json`

Ask your AI assistant:

“What did I write about database migrations last month?”

Your AI will search your local documents and cite sources in its response.
