The server runs in Docker from `docker.io/arcadedata/arcadedb:26.4.1-SNAPSHOT`. Setup examples are also provided for Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Gemini CLI, while the server is listed for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf (Devin Desktop), Cline, and Zed. Docker is required for the shown launch command.
