## Quick Start

### Install From PyPI

```bash
pip install alpha-terminal-mcp
```

For clients that should run the published package without a global install:

```bash
uvx --from alpha-terminal-mcp alpha-terminal-mcp
```

### Configure

Set a tenant API key issued by Alpha:

```bash
export ALPHA_API_KEY="ak_live_..."
```

The server defaults to the production Alpha API Gateway. Override it only for
local development or staging:

```bash
export ALPHA_API_BASE_URL="https://api.alpha.ac/functions/v1/api-gateway/v1"
```

The package also reads a local `.env` file:

```bash
cd alpha_mcp_server
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your Alpha tenant API key
```

### Run

```bash
# stdio mode (for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, etc.)
alpha-terminal-mcp

# Backward-compatible alias for existing clients
alpha-governance-mcp

# Or run directly
python -m alpha_governance_mcp.server
```

### Local Development

```bash
cd alpha_mcp_server
pip install -e .
```

npx -y smithery@latest mcp add alpha-ac/alpha-terminal-mcp \
  --client claude \
