# Installation

Compounding Marketing works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and any MCP-compatible AI assistant.

## Claude Code (Recommended)

The fastest way to get started:

```bash
claude mcp add compounding-marketing -- npx -y compounding-marketing
```

Verify it's working:
```bash
claude mcp list
```

You should see `compounding-marketing` in the list.

## Claude Desktop

Edit your Claude Desktop config file:

**macOS:** `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
**Windows:** `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`

Add the MCP server:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "compounding-marketing": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "compounding-marketing"]
    }
  }
}
```

Restart Claude Desktop.

## OpenClaw

If you're using OpenClaw, add to your mcporter config:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "compounding-marketing": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "compounding-marketing"]
    }
  }
}
```

## Verify Installation

After installation, ask your AI:

```
What marketing skills do you have?
```

It should list the available skills and categories.

## Troubleshooting

### "MCP server not found"
- Ensure Node.js 18+ is installed
- Run `npx -y compounding-marketing` manually to test
- Check that the config file path is correct

### Skills not loading context
- Create a `.cm-context` file in your project root
- The AI reads this file automatically when you run skills
