Install

curl -fsSL https://bento.build/install | sh

This installs both binaries (bento + bento-mcp) to ~/.local/bin/ and drops the Claude Code skill bundle under ~/.claude/skills/bento/.

Verify

bento --version
bento-mcp --version
bento doctor

Pin a version

curl -fsSL https://bento.build/install | sh -s -- 0.1.0

Or set BENTO_VERSION=0.1.0 in the environment.

Override install dir

BENTO_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/bin curl -fsSL https://bento.build/install | sh

Private releases

Set GITHUB_TOKEN for token-authenticated downloads — the installer auto-passes it through to GitHub releases.

bento mcp install            # auto-detect every client
bento mcp install claude-code  # one client at a time

Supported clients: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex CLI, OpenCode, Zed. Run bento mcp install --help for paths.
