Install Hugging Bay

Direct, verified installation paths for public Hugging Bay tools. These are retained publication observations, not a fresh registry check.

Native hbay is available for Linux and macOS. Windows is not published. Earlier Node archives and Homebrew packages retain their historical names.

Native hbay

curl -fsSL "https://huggingbay.xyz/cli/install.sh" | RELEASE_BASE_URL="https://storage.googleapis.com/hb-desktop-releases-barneyserver/hbay/hbay-0.2.1-native-5789eb6b6-20261024" sh

This pins hbay 0.2.1 for Linux x86_64/aarch64 or Apple silicon macOS; Intel Mac retains 0.2.0. The server's default release base can select an earlier version. The installer verifies the release signature and archive SHA-256 before installation. Requires curl and OpenSSL 3 or newer.

Remote MCP endpoint

Connect to https://huggingbay.xyz/api/mcp. Browse MCP discovery information and see MCP connection documentation. A working endpoint does not imply an official registry listing.

Verification

Pin the version shown here, inspect the linked public registry record, and verify the package integrity before use. Earlier Node release checksums, provenance, SBOM, and the signed release manifest are linked from the CLI documentation; npm integrity checks are in the MCP documentation.

External channel status

These channels are intentionally separated from live install paths. Repository assets and manifests alone are not proof of a public store or app listing.
