Get started
The fastest way to start a superlore knowledge base — copy two lines into Claude and watch it build the whole thing, or scaffold from the terminal with the CLI.
The fastest way to a superlore knowledge base is to let Claude build it. Copy two lines, paste them into Claude, and you get a complete, MCP-enabled KB — no setup, no framework to learn.
Let Claude build it
Add the superlore marketplace (one time)
Paste into Claude — on its own:
/plugin marketplace add KrishnanSG/superloreInstall the plugin
Then, as a separate command:
/plugin install superlore@superloreAsk for your knowledge base
In a fresh chat, paste:
Make me a docs site with superloreThat's it. Claude takes it from there — and the superlore MCP ships with the plugin, so it can read the docs as it builds.
- Copy → paste into Claude
- Make me a docs site with superlore
What Claude does — automatically
Asks two quick questions
What kind of KB — a Company KB (internal, for your teams + agents) or Product Documentation (public, for your users) — and who can read it — auth-protected (Google SSO gates the site and the MCP) or public.
Warns if a company KB would be public
Choose a Company KB without auth and Claude flags it — an internal KB shouldn't be world-readable, and the MCP would expose the same content — then offers to add SSO first.
Scaffolds, seeds, and connects
It generates the whole project, writes superlore.json, seeds a page or two so it isn't empty,
mounts the MCP route, and offers to register the MCP with your agent — narrating each step.
Then just keep talking to Claude
"add a page about our onboarding", "make a Q3 roadmap", "diagram our architecture" — the superlore skills turn intent into structured pages. When you're ready, ask Claude to deploy (self-host anywhere today; superlore Cloud is waitlisted).
Or scaffold from the terminal
Prefer a CLI? One command installs it — nothing to clone:
curl -fsSL https://superlore.vercel.app/install.sh | shWindows (PowerShell): irm https://superlore.vercel.app/install.ps1 | iex. Already have a Node
package manager? npm i -g superlore-cli works too.
superlore init my-kb # asks the same 2 questions, writes superlore.json, seeds pages
cd my-kb
superlore dev # local preview at http://localhost:3000superlore init finishes by offering to set up your editor — it detects VS Code, Cursor, and
Windsurf and installs the superlore Preview extension into each, so you get a live,
dual-representation preview of every component as you type. Run it any time on its own:
superlore connect # detects your editor(s), installs the live-preview extensionOne get-started path: install the CLI → superlore init scaffolds the KB and sets up your editor
→ then connect the MCP so your agent reads the same corpus (connect prints the exact claude mcp add command, or just ask Claude to "connect my superlore MCP").

Where to next
Canvas
The FigJam-style whiteboard authored in MDX.
Components
The full library, each with a live example and its knowledge face.
Add it to an existing app
Already have a Next.js app? Wire superlore in by hand.
Enable auth
Gate the site (and the MCP) with Google SSO — optional, off by default.
Light and dark are equal
superlore ships both themes from one token set and defaults to the reader's system preference. Never branch on theme in your code — it's a pure CSS-token swap.
