Reported during the March 13, 2026 nteract bug bash.
Current behavior
Using the nightly MCP requires manually wiring RUNTIMED_SOCKET_PATH, for example:
claude mcp add nteract-nightly -- env RUNTIMED_SOCKET_PATH="$HOME/Library/Caches/runt-nightly/runtimed.sock" uvx --prerelease allow nteract
Requested improvement
Support a dedicated --nightly flag so the bootstrap path is simpler, for example:
uvx --prerelease allow nteract --nightly
Why this matters
The current setup is easy to get wrong and adds friction to nightly testing.
