#Quick Start

Get from zero to your first kimbap call in under 5 minutes.

#1. Install

bash

curl -fsSL https://kimbap.sh/install.sh | bash

Or with Homebrew:

bash

brew install kimbap

#2. Initialize

bash

kimbap init --mode dev --services all

Creates ~/.kimbap/ with a config file, encrypted vault, and default policy. Installs all built-in service manifests. Dev mode auto-generates a vault key stored locally, so no extra setup is needed.

#3. Your first call

macOS native services need no credentials. Try this now:

bash

kimbap call apple-notes.list-notes

Returns your Apple Notes list. macOS may prompt for Automation access on first use.

#4. Optional: Connect a SaaS service

bash

kimbap link github

Walks you through OAuth or credential setup for GitHub. For non-interactive setups:

bash

printf '%s' "$GITHUB_TOKEN" | kimbap link github --stdin

Once linked, call it:

bash

kimbap call github.list-repos

The same pattern works for any service: kimbap link <service>.

#5. Optional: Connect your AI agent

bash

kimbap agents setup

Auto-detects installed agents (Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, Codex) and writes operating rules into the current project directory so the agent discovers kimbap automatically.
