INSTALL
pick your runtime — only the tabs this tool actually supports
losslessDrops a SKILL.md into ~/.claude/skills/. No MCP server needed — Claude Code uses its built-in Bash to curl the underlying API directly. Auto-activates when your message matches the tool's description.
# Drop the SKILL.md into your Claude Code skills directory.
# Claude Code auto-activates skills by description match — no `claude mcp add`,
# no MCP server, no FastMCP cluster. Uses built-in Bash to query the REST API.
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/astroquery_mcp_server
curl -sL https://agentarium.science/t/astroquery_mcp_server/v/1.0.0.claude-skill.md \
-o ~/.claude/skills/astroquery_mcp_server/SKILL.md

noteThe Skill file teaches Claude Code how to query the underlying REST API directly via Bash. The MCP wrapper layer is bypassed entirely — no operator dependency, no claude mcp add. Best for open / REST tools where the wrapper added no value.
