Arguments

How It Works

Execution flow. MCP tool calls are shown inline on each step.

Asks for your MarketCheck API key if not already configured. Keys available at marketcheck.com.

02
Write MCP Config

03
Confirm & Next Steps

Confirms successful write, instructs user to restart Claude Code, and suggests running /onboarding as the next step.
