Mew

Mew is a personal command-line tool that gives Claude access to your internal systems through the Model Context Protocol. It bundles toolsets — today Redash and ClickUp — behind a single mew command you install once, configure with your own credentials, and update over the air.

---

Install

One line — it detects your OS and architecture, downloads the right binary, and puts mew on your PATH:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kash04x/mew/main/scripts/install.sh | sh

Supported: macOS (Intel & Apple Silicon), Linux (x86-64 & ARM64).

Manual download

Grab the binary for your platform from the Releases page:

# Example: macOS Apple Silicon
curl -sSfL https://github.com/kash04x/mew/releases/latest/download/mew-darwin-arm64 \
  -o /usr/local/bin/mew
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/mew

---

Set up

Three steps and you're connected to Claude:

mew config init     # enter your Redash URL/key and ClickUp token
mew install         # register mew with Claude Code
mew doctor          # confirm credentials and connectivity

Then restart Claude. Your credentials live in ~/.mew/config.json (readable only by you) — they are never written into Claude's own config.

What you'll need

Toolset	Credential	Where to find it
Redash	Base URL + user API key	Redash → avatar → Edit Profile → API Key
ClickUp	Personal API token (pk_…)	ClickUp → avatar → Settings → Apps → API Token

You only need to configure the toolsets you want — skip the rest in config init.

Everyday commands

mew status                  # version, settings, and whether Claude is wired up
mew doctor                  # check every configured toolset connects
mew test redash             # check just one toolset

mew config show             # all settings (secrets masked)
mew config set KEY VALUE    # change one value, e.g. mew config set clickup.team_id 123
mew config edit             # open the settings file in $EDITOR

mew toolset list            # what's configured and enabled
mew toolset disable clickup # turn a toolset off without deleting its config
mew toolset enable clickup  # turn it back on

mew tools list              # every tool mew exposes to Claude

Run mew <command> --help for details on any command.

Enabling ClickUp writes

ClickUp tools are read-only by default. To let Claude create tasks and comments:

mew config set clickup.enable_writes true

---

Update

mew update

Checks GitHub for the latest release and replaces your binary in place — no need to re-run the install script. If mew lives in a root-owned directory (the default /usr/local/bin), it prompts for your password to write the new binary. To ship an update to everyone, push a vX.Y.Z tag; the release workflow builds and publishes the binaries, and each user picks it up with mew update.

---

Uninstall

mew uninstall

This unregisters mew from Claude, deletes ~/.mew (including your saved credentials), and removes the mew binary. If the binary sits in a root-owned directory:

sudo mew uninstall -y

---

Build from source

Requires Go 1.25+.

make build     # → bin/mew
make test      # unit tests
make build-all # cross-compile release binaries for all platforms

---

How configuration resolves

mew serve (the command Claude runs) reads your settings file first, then lets any matching environment variable override it. So the file is the easy default, and env vars still work for one-off overrides or CI.

Toolset	Activates when
Redash	redash.base_url and redash.api_key are set
ClickUp	clickup.api_token is set

See mew config show for the full list of keys and their meanings.
