+# ToolUniverse Installation and Setup
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+uv pip install tooluniverse
+```
+
+## Basic Setup
+
+### Python SDK
+```python
+from tooluniverse import ToolUniverse
+
+# Initialize ToolUniverse
+tu = ToolUniverse()
+
+# Load all available tools (600+ scientific tools)
+tu.load_tools()
+```
+
+## Model Context Protocol (MCP) Setup
+
+ToolUniverse provides native MCP support for integration with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and other MCP-compatible systems.
+
+### Starting MCP Server
+```bash
+tooluniverse-smcp
+```
+
+This launches an MCP server that exposes ToolUniverse's 600+ tools through the Model Context Protocol.
+
+### Claude Desktop Integration
+
+Add to Claude Desktop configuration (~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "tooluniverse": {
+      "command": "tooluniverse-smcp"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Claude Code Integration
+
+ToolUniverse MCP server works natively with Claude Code through the MCP protocol.
+
+## Integration with Other Platforms
+
+### OpenRouter Integration
+ToolUniverse integrates with OpenRouter for access to 100+ LLMs through a single API:
+- GPT-5, Claude, Gemini
+- Qwen, Deepseek
+- Open-source models
+
+### Supported LLM Platforms
+- Claude Desktop and Claude Code
+- Gemini CLI
+- Qwen Code
+- ChatGPT API
+- GPT Codex CLI
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Python 3.8+
+- For Tool_Finder (embedding-based search): GPU recommended
+- For Tool_Finder_LLM: No GPU required (uses LLM-based search)
+
+## Verification
+
+Test installation:
+```python
+from tooluniverse import ToolUniverse
+
+tu = ToolUniverse()
+tu.load_tools()
+
+# List first 5 tools to verify setup
+tools = tu.list_tools(limit=5)
+print(f"Loaded {len(tools)} tools successfully")
+```
