Architecture#

Node.js CLI built on oclif with a plugin architecture:

  1. Plugin system — Official plugins (@hesed/*) are declared as JIT plugins and auto-install on first use.
  2. MCP server — Built on the Model Context Protocol SDK, exposing all commands over stdio for seamless integration.
  3. Permission system — A glob-based allowlist at controls which commands are visible and executable.

Published as an npm package. Runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows wherever Node.js v18+ is installed.
