Use MCP resources
Each kit serves its guides, reference docs, and EGS templates — including the Word proposal documents, the WBS spreadsheet, and the intro-deck slides — as MCP resources. In the Claude Code CLI, type @ in your prompt to browse them and drop one straight into context — no copy-paste, no file paths to memorise.
Pick a resource and it's pulled into your message before the agent starts — so "What’s our standard tech stack? @…" hands the agent the actual EGS reference to work from, automatically.
Uninstall
Remove one kit
Uninstall a single kit's plugin (swap devkit for the kit you want gone):
claude plugin uninstall devkit@egs
claude plugin uninstall devkit@egs --scope local
claude plugin uninstall devkit@egs --scope user
Remove everything
Clean up all EGS kits at once — uninstalls every plugin, drops the marketplace, scrubs settings, and clears the on-disk cache:
curl -fsSL "https://acdc.eastgate-software.com/uninstall.sh" | SCOPE=project bash
$env:SCOPE="project"; irm "https://acdc.eastgate-software.com/uninstall.ps1" | iex
curl -fsSL "https://acdc.eastgate-software.com/uninstall.sh" | SCOPE=local bash
$env:SCOPE="local"; irm "https://acdc.eastgate-software.com/uninstall.ps1" | iex
curl -fsSL "https://acdc.eastgate-software.com/uninstall.sh" | SCOPE=user bash
$env:SCOPE="user"; irm "https://acdc.eastgate-software.com/uninstall.ps1" | iex
DRY_RUN=1 to preview without changing anything, YES=1 to skip the confirmation prompt, or SCOPE=all to clean every scope at once. On Windows, set these as $env: variables (e.g. $env:DRY_RUN="1").

Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Cause & fix |
|---|---|
Error: PLUGIN is required |
The PLUGIN variable was not set. Add PLUGIN=<kit-name>
before the pipe.
|
SCOPE is not set / install cancelled |
If you don't choose a scope, the installer asks for one in the terminal.
When there's no terminal to ask (a CI job or other non-interactive run), it
cancels rather than guessing — set the scope explicitly, e.g.
SCOPE=project (macOS / Linux) or $env:SCOPE="project" (Windows).
|
Download fails / 404 |
The kit name or version doesn't exist. Check the spelling and try without a pinned version to get the latest. |
marketplace.json not found |
Re-run the install command to fix this. |
| MCP tools don't appear in Claude |
Restart Claude Code after installing. If tools still don't appear,
run claude mcp list to confirm the kit is active.
|
unzip: command not found (macOS / Linux) |
Install unzip — e.g. brew install unzip on macOS. |
Expand-Archive errors / PowerShell too old (Windows) |
Update to PowerShell 5.1+ (ships with Windows 10/11). The
irm … | iex form runs in memory, so it isn't blocked by
the execution policy — no extra step is needed.
|
Access to the path is denied / install root not writable |
You're running from a directory you can't write to (e.g.
C:Windowssystem32). Open a terminal in your project
folder and re-run, or install for your user instead — add
$env:SCOPE="user"; (Windows) or SCOPE=user (macOS / Linux).
|
claude: command not found / not recognized |
Install Claude Code first (code.claude.com/docs/en/quickstart), then re-run the install command. |
