Frequently asked questions

How do I install mcpfold?
Run mcpfold with no install using "npx mcpfold@latest", install it globally with "npm install -g mcpfold", or use a standalone binary via Homebrew ("brew install mcpfold") or Scoop. mcpfold needs Node.js 20+ for the npm paths; the standalone binaries bundle their own runtime.
Do I need an account to use mcpfold?
No. mcpfold is local-first — init, import, sync, diff, doctor, and run all work entirely offline with no account and no server. An account is only needed for the optional cloud features (config sync across machines and team sharing).
