Atlas Scout

Install Atlas Scout

Read https://atlasscout.dev/atlas-scout.md and follow it to set up Atlas Scout. That single line, pasted into Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor, is the entire install.

How to install Atlas Scout with your coding agent

Read https://atlasscout.dev/atlas-scout.md and follow it to set up Atlas Scout.
  1. Paste that line into your coding agent.
  2. It installs Atlas Scout, indexes your project, and wires itself into your MCP host.
  3. From the next session on, it navigates instead of guessing.

The skill file is plain Markdown you can read yourself before handing it over: atlasscout.dev/atlas-scout.md.

Manual install on Linux and macOS

curl -fsSL https://atlasscout.dev/install.sh -o install.sh
sh install.sh

The installer detects your OS and architecture, downloads the matching release, verifies its SHA-256 checksum - plus the OpenPGP signature over SHA256SUMS when gpg is available - and installs under ~/.local/share/atlas-scout without touching your shell profile. On Windows, download and verify the release archive by hand: the docs cover it step by step.

Index and verify

atlas-scout index /absolute/path/to/project
atlas-scout doctor --workspace /absolute/path/to/project

Pre-warming is optional - MCP initialization never waits for a repository walk. doctor reports coverage, the daemon endpoint, and ready-to-paste host setup. The full tool reference lives in the documentation.

Common questions

Is it safe to let my agent install this?
The skill file at atlasscout.dev/atlas-scout.md is public and human-readable, and the installer it references verifies every artifact by SHA-256 checksum - plus an OpenPGP signature when gpg is available - before installing. Atlas Scout itself is local, read-only, and non-executing: it never edits your source, runs builds, or sends your code anywhere.
What does the install actually do?
It downloads the release matching your OS and architecture, verifies it, installs it under ~/.local/share/atlas-scout with stable links in ~/.local/bin, indexes your project, and registers the MCP server with your coding host. It never edits your shell profile.
What does it cost?
The Free edition is not a demo: six navigation tools on the complete index, every supported language, unlimited repositories - no account, no card, no expiry. Pro adds eight connected-analysis tools and a 14-day trial that needs no payment card.
