## Install

```bash
# macOS
brew install pipx

# Linux
sudo apt install pipx       # Debian / Ubuntu
sudo dnf install pipx       # Fedora

# Windows
scoop install pipx          # or: winget install pipx

pipx install global-entry-scanner
```

> Inside a virtual environment? `pip install global-entry-scanner` works too.

## Quick start

```bash
global-entry-scanner setup   # pick locations + notification channels
global-entry-scanner scan    # start watching
```

## CLI

```bash
global-entry-scanner locations                          # list all enrollment centers
global-entry-scanner scan --locations "Chicago, Dallas" # override locations
global-entry-scanner scan --notify email,slack          # override channels
global-entry-scanner mcp                                # start MCP server
```

## MCP server

Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, VS Code, and any MCP-compatible tool.

```bash
pipx install global-entry-scanner
global-entry-scanner mcp
```

Add to your AI tool's MCP config (see [MCP Server wiki page](https://github.com/JaiminBrahmbhatt/Global-Entry-Appointment-Scanner/wiki/MCP-Server) for per-tool file paths):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "global-entry-scanner": {
      "command": "global-entry-scanner",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

## Claude Code skill

Ask Claude to find slots, set up monitoring, or configure notifications in plain English — no commands needed.

```
/plugin marketplace add JaiminBrahmbhatt/Global-Entry-Appointment-Scanner
/plugin install global-entry-scanner@global-entry-scanner
```
