Cli Overview
@kurlo/cli runs Kurlo API collections from YAML repositories and serves those collections to AI agents through MCP. Agents can discover environments and collections, execute saved requests or full collections, send one-off calls, edit requests and tests, save response examples, and update variables. Authentication, scripts, tests, and {{variables}} are handled during execution, while secret values are masked from model output. Reach for it when API workflows need to run in CI or be operated from an MCP-compatible coding assistant.
Primary Use Cases for Cli:
- Run API collections as CI checks
- Ask an agent to diagnose a failed request
- Create requests and tests in a Git-backed workspace
- Execute authenticated collection workflows from an MCP client
