# Installation

Add the Thetanuts SDK to your project using npm or yarn.

> **Just want to use this with an LLM?** Skip the SDK install. The [MCP server](/sdk/ai-agents/mcp-server.md) gives Claude / Cursor / VS Code one-click access to \~100 SDK tools without writing code: `npx -y @thetanuts-finance/mcp`.

## Install the package

Using npm:

```bash
npm install @thetanuts-finance/thetanuts-client
```

Using yarn:

```bash
yarn add @thetanuts-finance/thetanuts-client
```

## Compatibility

| Requirement | Minimum Version |
| ----------- | --------------- |
| Node.js     | >= 18           |
| ethers.js   | v6              |
| TypeScript  | >= 5.0          |

## Build Formats

The SDK ships as both ESM and CJS with TypeScript declarations (`.d.ts`), built with [tsup](https://tsup.egoist.dev/). This means it works out of the box in:

* Node.js projects (CommonJS or ESM)
* TypeScript projects
* Bundlers (Vite, webpack, esbuild, etc.)

No additional build configuration is required.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.thetanuts.finance/sdk/getting-started/installation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
