For agents: the install prompt
Every step above as one Markdown text, for an assistant installing it for you.
# Install the MCP server `io.github.shinpr/sub-agents-mcp`
Its page: https://plug.directory/servers/io.github.shinpr/sub-agents-mcp
It runs on the person's machine and needs Node.js installed.
Ask the person for `YOUR_AGENTS_DIR`, `YOUR_AGENT_TYPE` and put it in place of the placeholder; never invent a value.
Use the section for the person's client.
