Quickstart

Install Ancher for your coding agent or your terminal, and run your first request.

For a coding agent

Run this on the computer where you use your coding agent:

bash

npx -y skills add streamify-one/ancher-agent-skills

That installs the skills into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and 70 more agents. Then install the CLI — see For your terminal below — which is how the agent reaches Ancher. Open a new agent session and ask:

Search my Ancher notes for the decisions about this project.

On Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor you can use the hosted MCP server instead of the CLI: run npx -y @ancher-ai/agent-skills install, then sign in for your agent.

For your terminal

Requires Node 24+.

bash

npm install -g @ancher-ai/cli
ancher login
ancher chat "what did I save about vector databases?"

ancher login runs an OAuth2 Authorization Code + PKCE flow in your browser and saves the session locally. Confirm it worked:

bash

ancher whoami
