Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ruflo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [

    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add ruflo -- npx -y ruflo mcp start

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {

{
  "servers": {
    "ruflo": {

Common questions

Is Ruflo safe?

It passed 2 of 2 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed today, and the latest version (3.75.0) reached the registry today.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Ruflo

An agent meta-harness for Claude Code and Codex.

[📖 RuFlo Explained — Build an AI Team That Plans, Remembers, Tests, and Improves](../docs/ruflo-explained.md) A 14-chapter guide: from the basic idea to a first useful task, then memory, agent teams, plugins, cost and verification.

Agent = Model + Harness. The model writes; the harness gives it tools, memory, loops, sandboxes, and controls so it can actually work. Ruflo is the harness — the execution layer around Claude Code and Codex that adds 100+ specialized agents, coordinated swarms, self-learning memory, federated comms across machines, and enterprise security guardrails. So agents don't just run, they collaborate.

One npx ruflo init gives Claude Code a nervous system: agents self-organize into swarms, learn from every task, remember across sessions, and — with federation — securely talk to agents on other machines without leaking data. You keep writing code. Ruflo handles the coordination.

Self-Learning / Self-Optimizing Agent Architecture

User --> Ruflo (CLI/MCP) --> Router --> Swarm --> Agents --> Memory --> LLM Providers ^ | +---- Learning Loop <-------+

New to Ruflo? You don't need to learn 406 MCP tools or 61 CLI commands. After init, just use Claude Code normally — the hooks system automatically routes tasks, learns from successful patterns, and coordinates agents in the background.

📖 Background — where the name comes from

Claude Flow is now Ruflo — named by rUv, who loves Rust, flow states, and building things that feel inevitable. The "Ru" is the rUv. The "flo" is working until 3am. Underneath, powered by Cognitum.One agentic architecture, running a supercharged Rust-based AI engine, embeddings, memory, and plugin system.

Quick Start

There are two different install paths with very different surface areas. Pick based on what you need (#1744):

	Claude Code Plugin	CLI install (`npx ruflo init`)
What it gives you	Slash commands + a few skills + agent definitions per-plugin	Full Ruflo loop — 98 agents, 60+ commands, 30 skills, MCP server, hooks, daemon
Files in your workspace	Zero	`.claude/`, `.claude-flow/`, `CLAUDE.md`, helpers, settings
MCP server registered	Only if `ruflo-core` is installed (it ships its own `.mcp.json`) — most other plugins don't	Yes
Hooks installed	No	Yes
Best for	Try a single plugin's commands without committing to the full install	Production use — everything works as documented

Path A — Claude Code Plugins (lite, slash commands only)

# Add the marketplace

/plugin marketplace add ruvnet/ruflo

Install core + any plugins you need

/plugin install ruflo-core@ruflo /plugin install ruflo-swarm@ruflo /plugin install ruflo-rag-memory@ruflo /plugin install ruflo-neural-trader@ruflo

This adds slash commands and agent definitions. ruflo-core (installed above) does register its own MCP server on install — its tools are callable as mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__* (e.g. mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_store), not the bare memory_store/swarm_init/agent_spawn names the CLI-track scaffold uses. Other plugins generally don't ship their own MCP server. For the full loop with the CLI-track tool names, use Path B below.
