Install InkPal
Three steps. Five minutes. Works in 5 IDEs.
1. Get a 24-hour trial key
Email-only. No card. The key arrives in your inbox + the terminal output.
npx inkpal trial your@email.com
Already have a key? Skip to step 2.
2. Wire InkPal into your editor
Pick your IDE. Either run the auto-install command, or hand-edit the config.
Auto-install (recommended)
npx inkpal claude install --key ink_your_key_here
Replaces or merges into your existing MCP config. Preserves other servers.
Or, hand-edit
Open ~/.claude.json and paste:
{
"mcpServers": {
"inkpal": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "-p", "inkpal@latest", "inkpal-mcp"],
"env": { "INKPAL_LICENSE_KEY": "ink_your_key_here" }
}
}
}Restart Claude Code to activate.
3. Run on your Flutter project
cd /path/to/your/flutter/project export INKPAL_LICENSE_KEY=ink_your_key_here npx inkpal start
inkpal start patches pubspec.yaml + main.dart AST-safely (idempotent). On success, you'll see a structured doctor report and a first-success loop.
Verify it's working
In your editor, run:
/inkpal:audit
The response should include an engine block with packs_loaded. That's the smoke test — you're good.
