Install Nash Arena

Install instructions vary — visit the GitHub repository for the latest install command. Most MCP servers follow one of three patterns: npx -y <package> for Node, uvx <package> for Python, or docker run <image> for containerized servers.

Use Nash Arena with Claude Code

Once the server is on your machine, register it with Claude Code so the agent can call it like any other tool. The general pattern is:

claude mcp add yyyhy-nash-arena -- <install-command>

After it's registered, run claude and ask anything that requires Nash Arena. Claude Code will negotiate the MCP handshake and surface the server's tools, prompts, and resources to the model automatically. See our Claude Code MCP guide for environment variables, scope flags, and credential handling.

FAQ

Is Nash Arena free?

Yes — every MCP server in the ClawHire directory is open-source or freely available. Some servers proxy to paid APIs (you supply your own keys), but the server itself is free.

Does it work with Claude Desktop / Cursor / Windsurf?

If a client speaks the Model Context Protocol, it can use this server. The transport (stdio vs SSE vs HTTP) needs to match what the client supports, but the server itself is client-agnostic.
