Getting Started

Zwischen installs as a Python package, wires itself into Claude Code as a set of hooks and an MCP server, and runs a local daemon that manages communication with the Zwischen server. Setup takes about two minutes.

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• Claude Code
• A Zwischen API key from zwischen.ai

Steps

1. Installation — Install the package and run the setup wizard.
2. First session — Start Claude Code and verify that the reviewer is attached.
3. Uninstalling — Remove Zwischen from Claude Code if needed.

Already installed?
