🚀 Quick Start (MCP)

npx xhs-mcp mcp

# Debug logs
XHS_ENABLE_LOGGING=true npx xhs-mcp mcp

First run tip: if Puppeteer browsers are not installed yet, run

npx xhs-mcp browser    # auto-check and install Chromium, shows executable path
# or
npx puppeteer browsers install chrome

Output example:

{
  "success": true,
  "message": "Chromium is ready",
  "data": {
    "installed": true,
    "executablePath": "/path/to/chromium"
  }
}

Verify MCP connection:

echo '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/list"}' | npx xhs-mcp mcp
