merv-client CLI - RapidReview

Installed by the runner installer at ~/.merv/bin/merv-client (also at merv/bin/merv-client in a checkout). It configures the connection and the optional local agent platforms used by Auto-run. Interactive sign-in is not here — that belongs to each client’s native MCP OAuth command.

CLI=$HOME/.merv/bin/merv-client

Command	What it does
`$CLI configure [--control-url <url>]`	Write machine config — e.g. which brain to target. Settings live in the private `~/.merv/client.json`.
`$CLI env`	Print the header-based `.mcp.json` HTTP snippet for a headless client on this machine.
`$CLI agent <platform> --enable\|--disable [--adapter <a>] [--command <exe>] [--model <m>] [--effort <e>] [--parallelism <n>]`	Enable or disable a local agent platform. Commands are stored as argv arrays and never run through a shell.
`$CLI agents`	Print the configured local platforms.
`$CLI workspace --repository <path> --strategy git_worktree [--root <dir>] [--base-ref <ref>]`	Set the repository, worktree strategy, worktree root, and base ref the runner uses.
`$CLI harness [--json]`	Install the Merv skills under `~/.merv/skills/` and check each enabled platform: executable resolves, version, how it reaches Merv tools and skills. Non-zero exit if an enabled platform isn’t ready.
`$CLI storage-upload --path <file> --target-url <url> [--workers 4]`	Multipart upload helper used by the returned storage upload commands.
`$CLI call <TOOL> --arguments <JSON>`	Call a Merv MCP tool from a child agent without a shell — used by the runner bridge for agents without native MCP isolation.

`merv-agent-runner`

Command	What it does
`merv-agent-runner`	Dispatch for the paired project read from `client.json`.
`merv-agent-runner --project <id>`	Override the project — the headless-key path (`MERV_MCP_KEY`) and loopback brains without auth.
`merv-agent-runner --once` · `--poll-seconds <n>` · `--config <path>`	Run one dispatch cycle; change the poll interval; use another `client.json`.
`merv-agent-runner pair`	Start a fresh pairing on an already-installed machine.

Other executables

Executable	Purpose
`merv-runs-wait`	The long-run watcher — Long runs
`merv-http` · `merv-control`	The brain, local and hosted — Deploy the brain

Removed

merv-client login, link, links, route, and unlink are gone. Sign in through your client’s native OAuth command; headless project reach comes from a static grant plus explicit project_id arguments.
