-## Easy install
+## Installation
 
-The easiest way to install XcodeBuildMCP is to use [Smithery](https://smithery.ai) to install it from the registry. Use the following command in your terminal below (requires npm/node) and replace `<client-name>` with the name of your AI agent (claude-code, codex, etc.) or use one of the client-specific examples provided.
+Add XcodeBuildMCP to your MCP client configuration. Most clients use JSON configuration with the following server entry:
 
-```bash
-npx -y @smithery/cli@latest install cameroncooke/xcodebuildmcp --client <client-name>
+```json
+"XcodeBuildMCP": {
+  "command": "npx",
+  "args": ["-y", "xcodebuildmcp@latest"]
+}
 ```
