@morpho-dev/router-cli

Status: Alpha – this CLI is under active development and interfaces/behavior are subject to change.

CLI to run a router that serves offers and performs validations.

Install

• Global install

pnpm add -g @morpho-dev/router-cli

• One-off (no install)

pnpx @morpho-dev/router-cli --help
# or
pnpm dlx @morpho-dev/router-cli --help

Running router api

Use router-cli to run a Router:

• Router starts on http://localhost:7891 by default
• Seed random offers with --seed for testing
• Enable validation with --validation flag
• Load offers from JSON file with --file
• Start a local UI alongside the Router with --ui
• --db-offer-endpoint plug the router on top of a postgres

Examples:

# Router with seeded random offers and UI
router-cli start --seed 100 --ui 

# Router with postgres database
router-cli start --db-offer-endpoint <db url>

# Router with validation enabled
router-cli start --validation

# Router with offers loaded from file
router-cli start --file offers.json

# Router with custom port
router-cli start --router-port 8080

Standalone UI

You can also run the UI without starting a local Router server, pointing it to any Router endpoint.

• By default, it targets the staging Router URL.
• Override the target with --router-url.

# UI against default remote Router (https://router.morpho.dev)
router-cli ui

# UI against a custom Router endpoint (e.g., local)
router-cli ui --router-url http://localhost:7891

The Router API is available at http://localhost:7891 (or your custom port) and supports the same endpoints as the production Router.
