Remove the agent setup

Clean slate.

Each way of setting up an agent has its way back. Remove what is on the machine, then revoke the connection in the dashboard.

CLI

Set up with agents.sh or the frbit CLI? One command removes the MCP server and the skill from Claude Code and Codex, the Claude Code plugin, the CLI sign-in, its folders and the binary, through brew or npm when installed that way:

frbit uninstall
shell

It lists what it removes and asks first, --yes skips the question. On Windows, finish with the step it prints. frbit setup agent --remove undoes the agent setup only and keeps the CLI.

Both commands need CLI 1.10.0 or later. With an older version, undo the agent setup and sign out while the binary is still in place:

frbit mcp remove --yes
frbit skills remove --yes
frbit auth logout
shell

Then remove the binary with the counterpart of the install method:

# install script or release archive
rm "$(command -v frbit)"

# Homebrew
brew uninstall frbit

# npm
npm uninstall --global @fortrabbit/cli
shell

Then delete the config and cache folders, which hold the saved API host, a lock file and the last update check, no tokens:

SystemConfig folderCache folder
macOS~/Library/Application Support/frbit~/Library/Caches/frbit
Linux~/.config/frbit~/.cache/frbit
Windows%AppData%\frbit%LocalAppData%\frbit

Prompt

An agent set itself up from the prompt? Paste this prompt and it removes what it installed:

Read https://www.fortrabbit.com/agents.md and remove the fortrabbit setup.

MCP server

claude.ai and Claude Desktop: Settings β†’ Connectors, open fortrabbit and remove it.

In the other clients, log out first, then remove the server. Logging out after the removal no longer works, because the client has forgotten the server. The login holds the stored credentials, which live outside the config file:

claude mcp logout fortrabbit
claude mcp remove fortrabbit

codex mcp logout fortrabbit
codex mcp remove fortrabbit
shell
ClientRemove with
Claude Codeclaude mcp remove fortrabbit
Codexcodex mcp remove fortrabbit
CursorDelete the entry from ~/.cursor/mcp.json
VS CodeMCP: List Servers, or edit the profile mcp.json
frbit CLIfrbit mcp remove --yes

claude mcp remove needs no scope, it takes the server out of whichever scope holds it. VS Code has no counterpart to code --add-mcp, so removal happens in the editor or in the file.

Agent skills

Remove the skill the way it was installed:

# frbit CLI, with --project or --agent as at install
frbit skills remove --yes

# GitHub CLI, which has no remove: delete the skill folder
rm -r ~/.claude/skills/fortrabbit

# npx
npx skills remove fortrabbit
shell

--yes skips the confirmation, which an agent can't answer. Removing the skill leaves the MCP server in place, see above.

Claude Code plugin

frbit uninstall removes the plugin too. Without the CLI:

claude plugin uninstall fortrabbit@fortrabbit
claude plugin marketplace remove fortrabbit
shell

Dashboard

Removing the setup from a machine leaves the grant on the account. Revoke it under AI agents, in the account menu of the dashboard:

This also works when the machine running the agent is out of reach.
