Run one command, sign in through your browser, and your agent can read, write, search, and organize your CreatorNotes workspace.
Requires Node 18+. Works in any terminal, including Codespaces and remote SSH.
Works with
Paste this into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or any coding agent. That's the whole prompt; it reads the rest of the steps itself:
Your agent will hand you a sign-in link to click. That's the only step it can't do for you.
Five steps. Four are automatic.
Opens your browser to sign inmanual
Google sign-in or email. The only manual step. A workspace and a Home canvas are auto-created on first sign-in.
Saves credentials locally
Your token is stored only on your machine, in ~/.cnotes/config.json, readable by your user alone. Re-running the wizard skips ahead if you're already set up.
Installs the Claude Code skill
If you have ~/.claude/, the wizard copies the CLI skill into ~/.claude/skills/cnotes/SKILL.md so every Claude Code session knows how to use the CLI.
Optionally installs cnotes globally
After init, the wizard offers to install cnotes globally so future calls are instant. Skip it and npx @creator-notes/cnotes keeps working.
Optionally wires up Claude Desktop / Codex
If you also use Claude Desktop or OpenAI Codex, the wizard can write the MCP server config for you.
Things you can say once the CLI is installed.
