Install RednoteMCP

Pick your client, copy the command, done.

Manual setup required. The maintainer's config contains paths only you know - edit the placeholders below before adding it to Claude Code.

Run this once before adding it to Claude Code.

pip install -r requirements.txt

claude mcp add rednote-mcp -- python /ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/PARENT/FOLDER/xiaohongshu_mcp.py --stdio

Replace any placeholder paths in the command with the real path on your machine.
