./bin/hop

Install hop on this machine and register its MCP server. Do the steps in order;
stop and report on the first failure.

1. Pick ONE install method, in this priority:
   a. Homebrew (macOS or Linux):
        brew install danmartuszewski/tap/hop
   b. Go 1.26+ available:
        go install github.com/danmartuszewski/hop/cmd/hop@latest
   c. From source (no brew, no Go on PATH):
        git clone https://github.com/danmartuszewski/hop.git && cd hop && make install

2. Verify the binary is on PATH:
        hop version

3. Register the MCP server with whichever agent the user is running. Skip
   clients the user does not use:
   - Claude Code:  claude mcp add hop -- hop mcp
   - Codex CLI:    codex mcp add hop -- hop mcp
   - Claude Desktop / Cursor / Windsurf — add to the client's MCP config:
        { "hop": { "command": "hop", "args": ["mcp"] } }

4. (Optional) Seed the config from the user's existing SSH config. Preview
   first; --yes is required for a non-interactive run:
        hop import --dry-run
        hop import --yes

5. Confirm hop's MCP tools are reachable from the agent (e.g. list_connections).

Constraints:
- Do NOT run bare `hop` — it launches an interactive TUI and will hang a
  non-interactive session. Use subcommands (`hop version`, `hop list`, …).
- Do NOT modify ~/.ssh/config. hop reads it via `hop import` only.
- Do NOT commit secrets or identity files.

After step 3, restart the agent so it picks up the new MCP server.
