Installing Kola

Kola is not yet notarized by Apple, so macOS will warn you the first time you open it. The two minutes below are a one-time setup.

  1. 1

    Open the DMG.

    Double-click Kola-0.3.36-arm64.dmg in your Downloads folder. A small window with the Kola icon will appear.

  2. 2

    Drag Kola into Applications.

    The DMG window shows a shortcut to your Applications folder. Drag the Kola icon onto it.

  3. 3

    Allow Kola to open (first launch only).

    Open Applications, right-click Kola, pick Open, and confirm. macOS will remember this choice — every subsequent launch is a normal double-click.

    If you see "Kola is damaged and can't be opened", run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Kola.app in Terminal, then try again.

Use Kola from Claude

Kola ships a Claude plugin so you can search your network, brief yourself before meetings, and capture new contacts straight from Claude Code or claude.ai. The plugin talks to the local MCP server inside Kola, so everything stays on your Mac.

  1. 1

    Add the marketplace.

    In Claude Code, run /plugin marketplace add getkola/marketplace. In claude.ai, open Customize → Plugins → Add marketplace and paste the same URL.

  2. 2

    Install Kola.

    Run /plugin install kola@kola in Claude Code, or click Install next to Kola in the claude.ai marketplace panel. The plugin adds skills like /network-search, /meeting-brief, and /save-contact.

  3. 3

    Keep Kola.app running.

    The plugin talks to the MCP server inside Kola.app on 127.0.0.1:47900, so launch Kola once and leave it in the background. Quitting Kola.app disables the plugin until next launch.
