Setup

Configure GPT (via Codex) or Gemini as specialized expert subagents via native MCP. Five domain experts that can advise OR implement.

Step 1: Check CLI Dependencies

Codex (GPT)

which codex 2>/dev/null && codex --version 2>&1 | head -1 || echo "CODEX_MISSING"

Gemini

which gemini 2>/dev/null && gemini --version 2>&1 | head -1 || echo "GEMINI_MISSING"

If Missing

**Codex Missing:**

Codex CLI not found.
Install with: npm install -g @openai/codex
Then authenticate: codex login

**Gemini Missing:**

Gemini CLI not found.
Install with: npm install -g @google/gemini-cli
Then authenticate: launch `gemini` once and complete sign-in (or set `GOOGLE_API_KEY`)

**STOP here if no providers are installed.**

Step 2: Configure MCP Servers

Register your preferred provider(s) as MCP servers using Claude Code's native command:

Codex (GPT)

# Idempotent: safe to rerun setup
claude mcp remove codex >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
claude mcp add --transport stdio --scope user codex -- codex -m gpt-5.3-codex mcp-server

Gemini

# Idempotent: safe to rerun setup
claude mcp remove gemini >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
claude mcp add --transport stdio --scope user gemini -- node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/server/gemini/index.js

This registers the MCP servers at user scope (available across all projects).

**Note:** To customise Codex behaviour, add CLI flags before `mcp-server`.

• For Codex: `-p nosandbox`

Step 3: Install Orchestration Rules

mkdir -p ~/.claude/rules/delegator && cp ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/rules/*.md ~/.claude/rules/delegator/

Step 4: Verify Installation

Run these checks and report results:

# Check 1: CLI versions
codex --version 2>&1 | head -1 || echo "Not installed"
gemini --version 2>&1 | head -1 || echo "Not installed"

# Check 2: Codex MCP server
CODEX_CONFIG=$(claude mcp get codex 2>/dev/null)
if echo "$CODEX_CONFIG" | grep -q "codex"; then
  MODEL=$(echo "$CODEX_CONFIG" | grep -oE 'gpt-[0-9]+\.[0-9]+-?[a-z]*' | head -1)
  echo "Codex: OK (model: ${MODEL:-unknown})"
else
  echo "Codex: NOT CONFIGURED"
fi

# Check 3: Gemini MCP server
GEMINI_CONFIG=$(claude mcp get gemini 2>/dev/null)
if echo "$GEMINI_CONFIG" | grep -q "server/gemini/index.js"; then
  echo "Gemini: OK"
else
  echo "Gemini: NOT CONFIGURED"
fi

# Check 4: Gemini bridge health (initialize handshake)
if echo "$GEMINI_CONFIG" | grep -q "server/gemini/index.js"; then
  BRIDGE_HEALTH=$(printf '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"health","method":"initialize","params":{}}\n' \
    | node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/server/gemini/index.js" 2>/dev/null \
    | grep -q '"id":"health"' && echo "Gemini Bridge: HEALTHY" || echo "Gemini Bridge: UNHEALTHY")
  echo "$BRIDGE_HEALTH"
else
  echo "Gemini Bridge: SKIPPED (Gemini MCP not configured)"
fi

# Check 5: Rules installed (count files)
ls ~/.claude/rules/delegator/*.md 2>/dev/null | wc -l

# Check 6: Codex auth status
codex login status 2>&1 | head -1 || echo "Codex: Run 'codex login'"

Step 5: Report Status

Display actual values from the checks above:

claude-delegator Status
───────────────────────────────────────────────────
Codex CLI:     [version from check 1]
Gemini CLI:    [version from check 1]
Codex MCP:     [status from check 2]
Gemini MCP:    [status from check 3]
Gemini Bridge: [status from check 4]
Rules:         ✓ [N] files in ~/.claude/rules/delegator/
Codex Auth:    [status from check 6]
───────────────────────────────────────────────────

If any check fails, report the specific issue and how to fix it.

Step 6: Final Instructions

Setup complete!

Next steps:
1. Restart Claude Code to load MCP server(s)
2. Authenticate providers as needed:
   - Codex: Run `codex login`
   - Gemini: Run `gemini` once and complete the sign-in flow (or set `GOOGLE_API_KEY`)

Step 7: Ask About Starring

Use AskUserQuestion to ask the user if they'd like to ⭐ star the claude-delegator repository on GitHub to support the project.

Options: "Yes, star the repo" / "No thanks"

**If yes**: Check if `gh` CLI is available and run:

gh api -X PUT /user/starred/jarrodwatts/claude-delegator

If `gh` is not available or the command fails, provide
