summary: >-
  The Endgame CLI is a first-party command-line client for the Endgame MCP endpoint.
  It calls Endgame tools directly from a terminal with no AI assistant in the loop,
  which makes it the scriptable projection of the same tool surface Claude and ChatGPT
  reach over MCP. It is a Go binary built from the public Endgame-Labs/endgame-cli
  repository.

install:
- method: source
  steps: |
    git clone https://github.com/Endgame-Labs/endgame-cli.git
    cd endgame-cli
    ./install.sh
  note: >-
    install.sh builds the binary and installs to /usr/local/bin, falling back to
    ~/.local/bin when that is not writable. A custom directory can be passed:
    ./install.sh ~/bin. Go must already be installed. There is no published
    package-manager install (no brew, no npm, no go install of a tagged version).
authentication:
  command: endgame auth login
  mechanism: oauth
  modes:
  - {mode: browser, note: 'opens a browser on this machine and completes the OAuth flow on a localhost callback'}
  - {mode: device, note: 'displays a device code entered in a browser on any device — for remote servers or separate browser sessions'}
  flags:
  - --mode browser|device
  - --callback-port <port>
  remote_note: >-
    For browser mode on a remote server the docs instruct forwarding the callback
    port first — ssh -L 8788:127.0.0.1:8788 <server> — then
    endgame auth login --mode browser --callback-port 8788.
  token_store: ~/.endgame-auth.json
  token_lifecycle: >-
    Tokens refresh automatically. The CLI reuses the cached access token until it
    nears expiry, refreshes once before the request, and retries once on an
    authentication error. No auth environment variables are supported.
commands:
- command: endgame auth
  description: Log in, check status, and manage authentication.
  subcommands: [login, status]
- command: endgame tools
  description: List and invoke Endgame tools.
  subcommands: [--help, sync]
  note: >-
    Tools are discovered from the authenticated account at login and cached locally.
    The cache refreshes automatically after login and in the background when it is
    more than 12 hours old; endgame tools sync forces a refresh. Because discovery is
    per-account, the exact tool list a user sees is entitlement-dependent.
