Summary

The CLI can now be installed with Homebrew from our own tap, HelpCode-ai/homebrew-tap: brew install helpcode-ai/tap/amcp. The formula installs @anythingmcp/cli from npm, pulls in Node.js and installs the bash, zsh and fish completions. A daily workflow in the tap follows new npm releases (install + test before it commits). The tap's CI installs, tests and audits the formula on macOS and Linux (green).

This PR only documents it next to npm i -g. Same for Cloud and self-hosted: the CLI works with both.

Changes

  • packages/cli/README.md: Homebrew install, and the Node.js requirement now refers to npm.
  • content/guides/{en,de,it}/anythingmcp-cli.mdx: Homebrew line in the install block and in the summary.
