Let your AI do the install.

Drop the setup guide PDF into Claude, Codex (ChatGPT), Gemini (CLI), or Copilot. Tell it which MCP you want and it walks you through the whole thing. No config files to memorize, no terminal commands to babysit. Manual snippets are still in the table below if you want them. All configs require uv installed on your machine; if you don't know what that means, give the PDF to your AI and it will handle it.
