Set up InkPal in 60 seconds

InkPal is an MCP server. It works with any AI tool that speaks Model Context Protocol. Pick your client below, copy the snippet, paste it into the config file shown.

1. 1. Get a license key

   Sign up with email — no card required. You get a perpetual key that unlocks the bridge plus a 24-hour full-access trial of Pro.

2. 2. Run the one-line setup in your Flutter project

   Wires the bridge into pubspec.yaml, patches main.dart, installs the MCP server into every detected editor, validates your license, and runs a first-success audit. Takes ~5 seconds.

   cd path/to/your/flutter-project
   INKPAL_LICENSE_KEY=ink_… npx inkpal start

   That's it. If you only want the MCP installed (no Flutter project changes), use npx inkpal install instead.

3. 3. (Optional) Manual per-editor config

   inkpal start handles this automatically for every editor it detects. The snippets below are for cases where you want to write the MCP config by hand.

   Config path: auto via /plugin install

4. 4. Verify
