@tanstratum/mcpcli

MCP (Model Context Protocol) codebase tools for AI agents — same full CLI as zephex.

Install this package OR zephex — both give you mcpcli and zephex commands (same binary, all 10 MCP tools).

Install once (pick either package)

npm install -g @tanstratum/mcpcli
# or
npm install -g zephex

Both commands work after one install:

mcpcli setup
zephex setup

mcpcli get-context
zephex get-context

mcpcli find-code "auth middleware"
zephex find-code "auth middleware"

Without global install:

npx @tanstratum/mcpcli setup
npx zephex get-context

All 10 MCP tools

| MCP tool | Terminal (either command) | |----------|---------------------------| | get_project_context | mcpcli get-context · zephex get-context | | check_test | mcpcli scope-task "…" · zephex scope-task "…" | | read_code | mcpcli read-code … · zephex read-code … | | find_code | mcpcli find-code "…" · zephex find-code "…" | | explain_architecture | mcpcli architecture · zephex architecture | | Zephex_dev_info | mcpcli docs · zephex docs | | check_package | mcpcli check-package express · zephex check-package express | | project_memory | mcpcli loop-guard … · zephex loop-guard … | | keep_thinking | mcpcli think · zephex think | | audit_headers | editor MCP only (after mcpcli setup or zephex setup) |

Two npm packages, same engine

| npm package | Global commands after install | |-------------|------------------------------| | zephex | zephex, mcpcli, zepx, zphx, mcpz, zepcli, zephx | | @tanstratum/mcpcli | zephex, mcpcli |

Same cli.js, same tools/server.js, same version. Use whichever name you prefer.

How MCP works

1. Terminal — mcpcli … or zephex … → human-readable tool output.
2. Editor MCP — editor spawns the binary with piped stdin → tools/server.js stdio server (tools/list, tools/call).

Account — connect, disconnect, reconnect (22+ editors)
