## Implementation guides

Each MCP implementation has a dedicated guide for its content surface, application connection, API conventions and setup. These pages explain how the implementations differ; package READMEs and generated references remain the source for complete tool schemas and options.

## Choose by task

I want to install

### Connect a client

Follow [MCP client setup](https://creativemcp.com/docs/getting-started.html#clients), then see [CLI and configuration](https://creativemcp.com/docs/cli.html) for launch options.

I want a tool schema

### Inspect the API

Use the server’s live MCP `tools/list` or `help` tool; open the matching [API guide](https://creativemcp.com/docs/api.html) for conventions and sources.

I want to see coverage

### Browse the Atlas

Explore documented features, automation routes, MCP mapping and validation status in the [Capability Atlas](https://creativemcp.com/capability-atlas.html).

I want to contribute

### Make a change

Read the [contribution guide](https://creativemcp.com/docs/contributing.html) for implementation boundaries and evidence expectations.
