package: '@tetherto/wdk-cli'
version: 1.0.0-beta.1
repository: https://github.com/tetherto/wdk-cli
status: beta
description: >-
  A local command-line, self-custodial wallet built with WDK. Manages named wallets,
  derives addresses, reads balances and history, sends registered assets, and exposes
  the same local wallet daemon to MCP-compatible AI clients.
requirements:
  node: '>=22.18.0'
install:
- method: npm-global
  command: npm install -g --allow-scripts=@tetherto/wdk-cli @tetherto/wdk-cli@1.0.0-beta.1
  note: >-
    The --allow-scripts allowlist permits the CLI's postinstall script, which
    installs version-pinned wallet modules from its bundled network configuration.
    Install the SCOPED @tetherto/wdk-cli — the unscoped `wdk-cli` on npm is a
    different package.
