How to install

Every workflow runs on the AI you already use. Pick your platform; each setup takes a couple of minutes.

01 Claude Code MCP · recommended

One-line install. The skill registers as a project-scoped MCP server and is callable on any prompt that matches its description.

Unzip the agent-inbox bundle anywhere on disk you can reference.
From your project root, run the install command. Claude Code adds the server to .mcp.json and reloads automatically — no restart needed.
Type /mcp in any Claude Code session to confirm the server is connected.

claude mcp add the-agent-inbox --command node --args ./the-agent-inbox/mcp/server.js

02 Claude Desktop MCP-native

Paste a server entry into your Claude Desktop config and the skill is available in every chat.

Open claude_desktop_config.json. macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json. Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json.
Add the snippet below under mcpServers. If the file is empty, paste the full block.
Quit and reopen Claude Desktop. The skill appears in the tools tray at the bottom of the input.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "the-agent-inbox": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/the-agent-inbox/mcp/server.js"]
    }
  }
}

03 Claude.ai Projects Paste-in

Claude.ai Projects don’t run MCP servers. Install as a Project: paste SKILL.md into Project Instructions, upload knowledge files into Project Knowledge.

Create a new Project on claude.ai (or open an existing one).
Open Project Instructions. Paste the full contents of SKILL.md from the bundle.
Open Project Knowledge. Upload every file from /knowledge/ in the bundle (corpus files, templates, reference docs).
Open a chat in the Project. Say "install agent-inbox" to start the walkthrough.

04 ChatGPT Project or Custom GPT

Paste-in path: build a Project or Custom GPT that wraps the skill. Use Custom GPT if you want it in your team’s GPT picker.

In ChatGPT, go to Explore GPTs → Create.
In the Configure tab, paste the full SKILL.md into Instructions.
Upload every file from /knowledge/ in the bundle into the Knowledge field.
Save. Open a chat with the new GPT and say "install agent-inbox" to start.

05 Gemini Gem

Create a Gemini Gem with the skill brain in its instructions field.

Open Gemini → Gems → Create a new Gem.
Paste the full SKILL.md into the Gem instructions field.
Upload the knowledge files from /knowledge/ as Gem knowledge files.
Save and open the Gem. Say "install agent-inbox" to start.
