# Quick Start

> Get Harmony running in 2 minutes.

## 1. Install (30 sec)

```bash
npm install harmony-ai
npx harmony init
```

## 2. Configure MCP Servers (1 min)

Add to your AI assistant config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memory": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-memory"]
    },
    "sequentialthinking": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-sequentialthinking"]
    }
  }
}
```

## 3. Start Working (30 sec)

Open your AI assistant and talk naturally:

```
"analyze requirements for user authentication"  → Analyst
"design the auth architecture"                  → Architect
"create stories for login feature"              → Scrum Master
"implement STORY-001"                           → Developer
```

Harmony routes automatically to the right agent.

## Verify Installation

```bash
npx harmony doctor
```
