Quickstart

From zero to a running SkillForge instance in under five minutes. Install the package, copy the config, validate, and wire it into your coding agent.

1. Install

bash

pip install "orchestrator-mcp[dashboard]"

Python version

If your system uses python3 instead of python, substitute that in every command below.

bash

cp .env.example .env
cp orchestrator-mcp.yaml.example orchestrator-mcp.yaml

Add only the provider credentials you actually use. Start lean — you can add more later.

bash

orchestrator-mcp doctor

Catches missing credentials, config issues, and release-hygiene problems before you wire the runtime into a client.

bash

orchestrator-mcp serve

The runtime is now ready for Codex, Claude Code, Kimi Code, or any stdio-capable MCP client.

bash

orchestrator-mcp dashboard

Live view of recent runs, cache behavior, failures, and estimated spend across all providers.
