## 📋 Requirements

- Node.js 14+ [Download](https://nodejs.org/en/download/)
- Claude Desktop installed ([Download here](https://claude.ai/download))
- Internet connection for Email Sending GARAK API key generation

## 🚀 Quick Start

You can run Hello-MCP without installation using npx:

```bash
npx hello-mcp
```

This will start the setup wizard that guides you through the entire configuration process.

## 🎮 Usage

Hi-Garak can be used in three different modes:

### 1️⃣ Setup Mode (Default)

```bash
npx hello-mcp
# or
npx hello-mcp setup
```

This interactive mode will:
- Check if Claude Desktop is installed
- Ask for your email and purpose
- Generate an API key
- Configure Claude Desktop for MCP
- Restart Claude Desktop automatically (when possible)

### 2️⃣ MCP Server Mode

```bash
npx hello-mcp mcp-server
```

This starts Hello-MCP as an MCP server that Claude Desktop can connect to. The server provides tools that Claude can use to perform actions.

## 🔑 API Keys

Your API key is stored in `~/.garakrc` and has a daily limit of 50 requests. The key is automatically configured for use with Claude Desktop.

## 📊 Telemetry

Hello-MCP collects anonymous usage data to improve the service:
- User interactions and performance metrics
- All data is anonymized
- You can disable telemetry in the configuration

## 🌟 Tips for Using with Claude

After setup, you can try these prompts with Claude:
1. "1 add 1" (Simple calculation)
2. "Send an email to [your-email] with the result of 1 add 1"
