Excellent in Open Interpreter, as one entry in its own config
The installer writes one excellent entry into ~/.openinterpreter/config.toml, in TOML, under [mcp_servers.excellent], and leaves the rest of the file alone. Restart Open Interpreter afterwards: it only sees the new server after a restart.
curl -fsSL https://excellent.so/install.sh | shIt runs excellent install-agent-mcps, which writes the entry and prints Open Interpreter: linked.
The entry and the setup prompt
Set up Excellent (excellent.so) in Open Interpreter for me. First run: curl -fsSL https://excellent.so/install.sh | sh
If its output has a line starting "Open Interpreter: linked" or "Open Interpreter: already-linked", skip to the last step.
Otherwise add this block to ~/.openinterpreter/config.toml (create the file if it is missing; if it already has an [mcp_servers.excellent] block, replace only that block):
[mcp_servers.excellent]
command = "/absolute/path/to/node"
args = [ "/absolute/path/to/@excellent-so/cli/dist/server.js" ]
cwd = "/absolute/path/to/@excellent-so/cli/dist"
env = {}
Replace /absolute/path/to/node with the output of `node -p process.execPath`, and /absolute/path/to/@excellent-so/cli/dist with the output of `echo "$(npm root -g)/@excellent-so/cli/dist"`.
Last step: tell me to restart Open Interpreter, because it only sees the new server after a restart.It runs the installer and looks for Open Interpreter: linked; if that line is missing it adds the entry by hand, then asks you to restart.

Open Interpreter docs
The CLI on npm today, 0.1.0 (checked October 23, 2026), predates install-agent-mcps: the installer skips this step, says so, and changes no agent config. Paste the setup prompt, or add the entry by hand as the setup doc shows.
The same entry
Put Excellent in your agent: install it, restart the agent, run one task
curl -fsSL https://excellent.so/install.sh | sh
