Claude: Let me check if Lessie CLI is available.

        Bash(lessie status 2>&1)
        ⎿  Error: Exit code 127
           (eval):1: command not found: lessie

        CLI not found. Let me install it.

        Bash(npm install -g @lessie/cli 2>&1)
        ⎿  added 2 packages in 3s

        Bash(lessie status 2>&1)
        ⎿  {
             "remote_url": "https://app.lessie.ai/mcp-server/mcp",
             "authorized": true,
           … +2 lines

        Lessie CLI installed and authorized. You're ready to go. For example:

        - Find people — "Find Engineering Managers at Stripe"
        - Look up contacts — "Get Sam Altman's email" or "Get the phone for these CTOs"
        - Research companies — "What's OpenAI been up to lately?"

        What would you like to search?

You:    Find Engineering Managers at Stripe

Claude: Bash(lessie find-people \
        --query "10 Engineering Managers at Stripe" \…)
        ⎿  {"success":true,"search_id":"mcp_5173a4e1a389","people":[…]}
           … +85 lines

## Alternative: MCP Server (no CLI needed)

Skip the CLI install. Add Lessie as an MCP server instead:

| Client | Config file |
|--------|-------------|
| Claude Code | `~/.claude.json` |
| Cursor | `~/.cursor/mcp.json` |
| Codex | `~/.codex/config.json` |

**Lessie (people search & enrichment):**

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lessie_mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@lessie/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "LESSIE_REMOTE_MCP_URL": "https://app.lessie.ai/mcp-server/mcp"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

**Lessie Email (email management):**

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lessie-email-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@lessie/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "LESSIE_REMOTE_MCP_URL": "https://app.lessie.ai/email-api/mcp-public/mcp"
      }
    }
  }
}
```
