How to Set Up and Use Claude OS
Claude OS is a comprehensive, curated reference bundle for Claude developers that consolidates documentation for commands, MCP servers, plugins, tools, workflows, and agent frameworks into six structured Markdown files totaling over 4,700 lines of verified content. Rather than spending hours searching GitHub, Reddit, and Anthropic's docs separately, developers can use this as a single entry point to discover what Claude can do, which MCP servers to connect, which plugins and skills to install, how to build production workflows like RAG pipelines, and how to choose between agent frameworks like CrewAI and LangGraph. It is designed for fast lookup and practical integration rather than tutorial-style learning.
Prerequisites
- Claude Code installed (claude.ai/code)
- Git to clone the repository
- A GitHub account to star or fork the reference
- Basic familiarity with the Claude Code CLI and MCP concepts
Clone the Claude OS repository
Clone the repository to get all six reference files locally. They are plain Markdown files you can read in any editor or reference while working in Claude Code.
git clone https://github.com/rohanmistry231/Claude-OS.git
cd Claude-OSStart with the commands reference
Open commands.md to learn all Claude Code slash commands, CLI flags, keyboard shortcuts, and prompt codes. This is the foundation for using Claude Code effectively.
Set up core MCP servers from the reference
Open mcp-servers.md and use the curated install configs for the most useful MCP servers. The reference includes 25 MCP servers plus 10 memory systems with ready-to-paste JSON configs.
{
"mcpServers": {
"filesystem": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/path/to/projects"]
},
"github": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"],
"env": { "GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_token" }
},
"memory": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-memory"]
}
}
}Install recommended plugins from the plugins reference
Follow plugins.md to install the highest-value Claude Code plugins. The reference categorizes 40+ plugins across 6 tiers with install commands included.
# Top recommended plugins from the reference:
/plugin marketplace add obra/superpowers-marketplace
/plugin install superpowers@superpowers-marketplace
/plugin install context7@claude-plugins-officialUse the workflows and agent framework references for production builds
When building production applications, consult workflows.md for 25 patterns (RAG pipelines, multi-agent orchestration, etc.) and agent-frameworks.md for benchmarks and decision guides comparing CrewAI, LangGraph, AutoGen, and others.
Claude OS Examples
Client configuration
Example Claude Desktop MCP config based on the core setup recommended in Claude OS's mcp-servers.md. This connects the three foundational MCP servers: filesystem, GitHub, and memory.
{
"mcpServers": {
"filesystem": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/Users/you/projects"]
},
"github": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"],
"env": {
"GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "ghp_your_token_here"
}
},
"memory": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-memory"]
}
}
}Prompts to try
Use Claude OS as a reference while working. These prompts help you discover and apply content from the six reference files.
- "What are all the Claude Code keyboard shortcuts from commands.md?"
- "Which MCP server should I use for Postgres database access?"
- "Compare CrewAI and LangGraph from the agent frameworks reference"
- "Show me the RAG pipeline workflow pattern from workflows.md"
- "Which plugins are in the tier 1 essentials from plugins.md?"Troubleshooting Claude OS
Reference content is outdated or doesn't match current Claude Code behavior
The repository was verified as of April 2026. Check the Updated badge in the README and compare with the current Claude Code release notes. File an issue or submit a PR on the GitHub repository if you find discrepancies.
Plugin install commands from plugins.md fail
Plugin commands require Claude Code's plugin marketplace to be configured. Run /plugin marketplace add <source> before attempting /plugin install. Some plugins may have been renamed or moved since the reference was written — check the plugin's original repository for the current install path.
MCP server configs from mcp-servers.md don't work in Claude Desktop
Configs in the reference may use placeholder values like 'your_token'. Replace all placeholder values with your actual credentials before pasting into claude_desktop_config.json. Also ensure the paths (like /path/to/projects) are updated to real absolute paths on your machine.
