 A TypeScript MCP server for [Hopper Disassembler](https://www.hopperapp.com/). It preserves 31 familiar Hopper operations and adds 8 reverse-engineering workflows for Swift, Objective-C, decompilation, call graphs, cross-references, and binary summaries.
 
-The server uses the modular `@modelcontextprotocol/server@2.0.0-beta.3` SDK.
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+git clone <repo-url> && cd betterBinaryMCP
+npm ci && npm run build
+```
+
+Generate a ready-to-paste MCP config with absolute paths filled in:
+
+```bash
+npm run config:print -- /path/to/your/binary
+```
+
+Paste the output into your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) and restart the client. That's it — the 39 tools are now available.
+
+```bash
+# For a .hop database:
+npm run config:print -- /path/to/file.hop --kind database
+
+# For a FAT binary that needs loader args:
+npm run config:print -- /path/to/binary --loader-args '["-l","Mach-O","--aarch64"]'
+```
+
+### Set up with your agent
+
+Paste this prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-capable agent to have it do the setup for you:
+
+> I want to connect betterBinaryMCP (a Hopper Disassembler MCP server) to this client.
+>
+> 1. Clone the repo and run `npm ci && npm run build`.
+> 2. Run `npm run config:print -- /path/to/my/binary` to generate the MCP server config.
+> 3. Paste the output into this client's MCP config and restart.
+> 4. Verify the 39 tools are listed.

+## Prerequisites

+- **Hopper Disassembler 6+** on macOS — ships at `/Applications/Hopper Disassembler.app/`
+- **A binary or Hopper database** to analyze
