setup-tooluniverse

Install and configure ToolUniverse for any use case — MCP server (chat-based), CLI (command line with 14 subcommands), or Python SDK (Coding API with 3 calling patterns). Covers uv/uvx setup, MCP configuration for 12+ AI clients (Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, VS Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Trae, Cline, etc.), full CLI reference (tu list/grep/info/find/run/test/status/build/remote/doctor/serve/connect/connections/disconnect), Coding API quickstart, agentic tools, code executor, API key walkthrough, skill installation, and upgrading. Use when user asks how to set up ToolUniverse, which access mode to use (MCP vs CLI vs SDK), configuring MCP servers, using the CLI, troubleshooting installation, upgrading, or mentions installing ToolUniverse or setting up scientific tools. Also triggers for "how do I use ToolUniverse", "what's the best way to access tools", "command line", "tu command", "coding API", "tu build".
