Agent-Specific Details

​
OpenClaw

The Skills CLI writes the configuration to the OpenClaw skills directory:
  • Project-level: ./skills/chainstream.yaml
  • User-level: ~/.openclaw/skills/chainstream.yaml
Generated configuration: 
skills:
  chainstream:
    type: mcp
    url: https://mcp.chainstream.io/mcp
    env:
      CHAINSTREAM_API_KEY: ${CHAINSTREAM_API_KEY}
Set the environment variable before running your agent: 
export CHAINSTREAM_API_KEY=your-key
openclaw run

​
Claude Code

The Skills CLI adds the MCP server entry to .claude.json in your project root: 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chainstream": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@chainstream-io/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CHAINSTREAM_API_KEY": "your-key"
      }
    }
  }
}
See also: Stdio Transport for manual Claude Code setup.

​
Cursor

The Skills CLI configures the MCP server in Cursor’s settings. The configuration appears under Settings > Features > MCP Servers:
FieldValue
Namechainstream
Typestdio
Commandnpx @chainstream-io/mcp
For project-level config, the CLI writes to .cursor/mcp.json: 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chainstream": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@chainstream-io/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CHAINSTREAM_API_KEY": "your-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

​
Cline

The Skills CLI adds the server to Cline’s MCP configuration: 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chainstream": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@chainstream-io/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CHAINSTREAM_API_KEY": "your-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

​
GitHub Copilot

The Skills CLI writes configuration to .github/copilot/mcp.json in your repository: 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chainstream": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@chainstream-io/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CHAINSTREAM_API_KEY": "your-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

​
Codex

The Skills CLI adds the MCP server to your Codex agent configuration: 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chainstream": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@chainstream-io/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CHAINSTREAM_API_KEY": "your-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

​
Auto-Detection

When you run npx skills add chainstream-io/skills without the -a flag, the CLI auto-detects your environment by checking for:
  1. Agent-specific config files in the current directory
  2. Agent CLI tools installed globally
  3. IDE-specific directories and settings
If multiple agents are detected, the CLI prompts you to choose.

​
Updating

To update the ChainStream skill to the latest version: 
npx skills update chainstream-io/skills

​
Removing

To remove the ChainStream skill: 
npx skills remove chainstream-io/skills
This removes the configuration entry from your agent’s config file but does not delete your API key.
