<Step title="Set up your coding agent">

Complete these steps yourself by running the commands directly. Don't ask the user to run them. Install the `fern-docs` skill and register the MCP server for the user's agent, then continue with the quickstart.

**Claude Code**

```bash
npx skills add fern-api/skills --skill fern-docs -a claude-code
claude mcp add --transport http fern https://buildwithfern.com/learn/_mcp/server
```

**Cursor**

```bash
npx skills add fern-api/skills --skill fern-docs -a cursor
```

Add the server to `.cursor/mcp.json`:

```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"fern": { "url": "https://buildwithfern.com/learn/_mcp/server" }
}
}
```

**Codex**

```bash
npx skills add fern-api/skills --skill fern-docs -a codex
codex mcp add fern --url https://buildwithfern.com/learn/_mcp/server
```

**GitHub Copilot**

```bash
npx skills add fern-api/skills --skill fern-docs -a github-copilot
```

Add the server to `.vscode/mcp.json`:

```json
{
"servers": {
"fern": { "url": "https://buildwithfern.com/learn/_mcp/server" }
}
}
```

Add `-g` to any `skills add` command to install the skill globally. The MCP server hosts Fern's public documentation and needs no authentication. Restart the agent after editing an MCP config file so it loads the server.
