# Quickstart

Start with the path that matches your setup.

## Path 1: Non-technical users

If you just want PIXA inside Claude Desktop:

1. Install [Claude Desktop](https://claude.ai/download).
2. Download the latest `.mcpb` bundle from the repo releases.
3. Drag and drop the `.mcpb` file into Claude Desktop.
4. Open the PIXA tools panel.
5. Connect your wallet and start using the wallet tools.

This path is the simplest option for demos and non-technical users.

## Path 2: Developers

If you want the npm package:

1. Install Node.js 18 or newer.
2. Add PIXA to your Claude MCP config using `npx`.
3. Set your Algorand mnemonic and spending limits.
4. Restart Claude Desktop.
5. Call tools like `check_balance`, `pay`, and `x402_fetch`.

Use this package name:

```json theme={null}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pixa": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "pixa-wallet-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "ALGORAND_MNEMONIC": "your 25-word mnemonic here",
        "NETWORK": "algorand-mainnet",
        "MAX_PER_CALL": "0.10",
        "MAX_PER_DAY": "20.00"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## What to try first

After install, the best first checks are:

1. `check_balance`
2. `request_funding`
3. `pay`
4. `x402_fetch`
5. `open_onramp`

If you are testing rekey and session behavior, do that in a browser flow first and then connect it back to the MCP layer.

## What you should already have

* Claude Desktop installed
* a funded Algorand wallet or testnet wallet
* the published npm package or the `.mcpb` bundle
* a clear spending limit

That is enough to get PIXA running.
