  "Install Crush",
  "Add an MCP server in crushrc with mcp add, type http and the server URL, as in the README GitHub example",
  "Keep tokens out of the file by reading them from a secret manager, as the README does with 1Password",
  "Put project config in ./.crushrc or global config in ~/.config/crush/crushrc",
  "Ask Crush to use the new tools in your session"
