Configure / authenticate
MCP100 setup guide
Requires the supported Noglow desktop application; preserve @latest spec to avoid second npx cache copy.
Use correct transport and published host config. Never paste secrets in chat; server registration is separate from software installation.
Check connection
Suggested check
Check tools after launching and verify desktop companion is reachable; do not alter local projects.
Remove / uninstall / revoke
MCP100 setup guide
If registered as `noglow-mcp` in Claude Code, remove its exact client entry with `claude mcp remove noglow-mcp`; for Cursor/Claude Desktop/Codex, remove the matching MCP entry in that host settings. This client removal is MCP100-composed, not a vendor uninstall instruction. Npx does not imply a global install; do not delete user data or revoke credentials implicitly.
Publisher install example registration name(s): noglow. The supplied removal example applies only to an existing Claude Code registration named noglow-mcp; it does not remove the differently named install example. Confirm the actual host entry before use.
