feat: add kody install for running local MCP clients - #2
Merged
Conversation
Detect currently running local agents, write host MCP config through add-mcp (plus leftover writers and vendor CLIs), skip web clients, and print a copy-paste onboarding prompt. Claude Desktop stays Connectors-UI only. Help points at kody.codes/onboarding for ChatGPT, Claude.ai, and Grok.
