CLI Reference

Runtime commands

mcp-bridge
mcp-bridge --sse --port 3000
mcp-bridge --http --port 3000
mcp-bridge --config ./my.json
mcp-bridge --verbose
mcp-bridge --debug

Caution

--sse and --http flags are currently parsed by CLI but not yet implemented in standalone runtime. Current releases run in stdio mode.

Setup and catalog

mcp-bridge init
mcp-bridge install <server>
mcp-bridge catalog
mcp-bridge catalog --offline
mcp-bridge servers
mcp-bridge search <query>

Maintenance

mcp-bridge update [--check]
mcp-bridge --version
mcp-bridge --help

Recipe utilities

npx tsx ./bin/validate-recipe.ts ./recipe.json

Or from a mcp-bridge source checkout:

npm run validate-recipe -- ./recipe.json

validate-recipe is a separate utility script, not a mcp-bridge runtime CLI subcommand.
