@live-context/cli

Command-line companion for Live Context — your team's shared AI knowledge layer. The lc CLI configures your AI client (Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop) to use Live Context's hosted MCP server.

Install

npx -y @live-context/cli --help

Or install globally:

npm install -g @live-context/cli

Commands

lc connect <key>
