+### Isaac Sim bridge extension setup
+
+The `khemoo.simul.mcp` Kit extension that backs port 8229 is bundled
+inside the `simul-mcp` Python wheel as of v0.0.36. After installing
+the package (or pulling new repo commits) once per Isaac install:
+
+```bash
+# Publish the bundled bridge ext into Isaac's extsUser dir
+ISAAC_SIM_PATH=~/isaac-sim-5.1.0 simul-mcp isaac install-bridge --symlink
+
+# Then once per Isaac launch — auto-enables the ext + waits for port
+simul-mcp isaac bridge-up
+```
+
+`--symlink` is recommended for editable / repo-checkout workflows so
+future `git pull`s propagate without re-running `install-bridge`. See
+`CLAUDE.md` for the full lifecycle and the `bridge-up` retry semantics.
+
