1. Installation via Homebrew or Binary

brew install creativetechstudios/tap/silicon-grounder

Or download the pre-compiled universal binary:

curl -fsSL https://releases.creativetechstudios.org/silicon-grounder/install.sh | bash

---

2. Configure MCP Client (e.g. Claude Desktop)

Add Silicon Grounder to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "silicon-grounder": {
      "command": "silicon-grounder",
      "args": ["serve-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. Your agent now has native tools to inspect UI elements (ground_ui_element), read screen text (extract_screen_text), and click buttons with zero external API calls.
