Quick Start
Get CKS up and running with your LLM in under 5 minutes.
1. Install
One command installs the entire ecosystem:
pip install cks-mcp
This automatically brings in cks-runtime, cks-core, and all dependencies.
2. Connect to Claude Desktop
Add cks-mcp to your MCP servers.
- Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config.
- Add this block to
claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"cks-mcp": {
"command": "cks-mcp"
}
}
}
- Save and restart Claude Desktop (Cmd+Q, then reopen).
After restart, a connector icon will appear — cks-mcp with seven tools is ready to use.
3. Your First Experiment
Ask Claude:
Create a knowledge structure about "Quantum Mechanics" with two concepts (Wave-Particle Duality and Superposition). Link them with a relation. Then validate the structure.
Claude will call validate_knowledge and report back whether the structure is valid.
