Set up several clients at once (looot init)
Run looot init to write a header-token entry into Claude Code, Cursor and Codex in one step.
The looot CLI writes a header-token entry into several clients for you, so you don’t edit
each config file by hand.
looot init
It runs looot login if you’re not signed in, detects the clients it knows how to configure, and
asks before writing a looot entry into each. --yes answers yes to every prompt, --dry-run
writes nothing. The entry references the LOOOT_TOKEN environment variable, never the token
itself, and init prints the line to add to your shell profile:
export LOOOT_TOKEN="$(looot token --reveal 2>/dev/null)"
| Client | File init writes |
Token reference |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | ~/.claude.json |
Bearer ${LOOOT_TOKEN} |
| Cursor | ~/.cursor/mcp.json |
Bearer ${env:LOOOT_TOKEN} |
| Codex | ~/.codex/config.toml |
bearer_token_env_var = "LOOOT_TOKEN" |
--project writes the project-level files; without it, init writes the user-level ones. --embed writes the
token itself into the config, for a client that can’t read environment variables.
looot mcp install --client claude-code|cursor|codex|generic prints one client’s config without
writing anything, so you can paste it in by hand.
