-# api-spec-cli
-
-CLI for AI agents to explore and call OpenAPI, GraphQL, and MCP APIs. Output is JSON by default — compact, parseable, token-efficient.
-
-## Install
-
-```bash
-npm install -g api-spec-cli
-```
-
-Works with Node.js 18+. No other dependencies.
-
-```bash
-# Or run without installing
-npx api-spec-cli <command>
-```
-
-## How It Works
-
-Every command is stateless — you specify the spec source on each call. Two paths:
-
-| Path | When to use |
-|---|---|
-| `--spec <name>` | Registered spec — auto-fetches and caches on first use |
-| Inline flags | Ad-hoc — no registration, fetched each call |
-
-### Register once, use everywhere
-
-```bash
-spec add petstore --openapi https://petstore3.swagger.io/api/v3/openapi.json \
-  --base-url https://petstore3.swagger.io/api/v3 \
-  --description "Petstore example"
-
-spec add hashnode --graphql https://gql.hashnode.com --auth YOUR_TOKEN
-
-spec add agno --mcp-http https://docs.agno.com/mcp --description "Agno docs"
-
-spec add fs --mcp-stdio "npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem /tmp"
-```
-
-Registration is instant — does not connect. Connection happens on first `list`/`show`/`call` and the result is cached at `~/spec-cli-config/cache/<name>.json`.
-
-### Or use inline (no registration)
-
-```bash
-spec list --openapi https://petstore3.swagger.io/api/v3/openapi.json
-spec list --graphql https://gql.hashnode.com
-spec list --mcp-http https://docs.agno.com/mcp
-spec list --mcp-sse http://localhost:3000/sse
-spec list --mcp-stdio "npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem /tmp"
-```
-
-Inline fetches every call, nothing cached.
-

-
-## Discovery
-
-### Search across specs
-
-`grep` searches operation/tool names and descriptions across all registered specs.
-
-```bash
-spec grep search                        # Substring match across all specs
-spec grep "get*"                        # Glob: anything starting with "get"
-spec grep "*list*"                      # Glob: anything containing "list"
-spec grep search --spec agno            # Limit to one spec
-```
-
-Matches on name and description. Case-insensitive. Plain text = substring, `*`/`?` = glob.
-
-### List all specs in the registry
-
-```bash
-spec specs                    # Compact: name, type, enabled
-spec specs --compact false    # Full: includes source, config
-```
-
-### List operations / tools
-
-`list` is compact by default — just IDs, no schemas. Use `--filter`, `--tag`, `--limit` to narrow down.
-
-```bash
-spec list --spec agno                          # Registered spec (uses cache)
-spec list --spec petstore --filter pet         # Search by keyword
-spec list --spec petstore --tag pets           # OpenAPI: filter by tag
-spec list --spec hashnode --tag mutation        # GraphQL: filter by kind
-spec list --spec petstore --limit 10           # First 10 only
-spec list --spec petstore --limit 10 --offset 10  # Next 10
-spec list --mcp-http https://docs.agno.com/mcp # Inline: no registration needed
-```
-
-Compact output:
-```json
-{
-  "type": "mcp",
-  "total": 1,
-  "showing": 1,
-  "operations": [
-    { "id": "search_agno", "description": "Search across the Agno knowledge base..." }
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-Use `--compact false` for full details including `inputSchema` for MCP tools.
-
-### Inspect one operation or tool
-
-`show` gives you everything to make a call — params, body schema, response schemas, related types — in one call.
-
-```bash
-spec show --spec petstore getPetById           # OpenAPI: by operationId
-spec show --spec petstore /pet/{petId}         # OpenAPI: by path
-spec show --spec petstore "GET /pet/{petId}"   # OpenAPI: by method + path
-spec show --spec hashnode publishPost          # GraphQL: by operation name
-spec show --spec agno search_agno             # MCP: by tool name
-```
-
-MCP output includes the full `inputSchema` so you know exactly what arguments to pass.
-
-### Drill into types (OpenAPI/GraphQL only)
-
-```bash
-spec types --spec petstore                     # List all schema names
-spec types --spec petstore Pet                 # Inspect one schema
-spec types --spec hashnode PublishPostInput    # GraphQL input type
-```
-
----
-
-## Calling APIs
-
-```bash
-# OpenAPI
-spec call --spec petstore getPetById --var petId=1
-spec call --spec petstore findPetsByStatus --query status=available
-spec call --spec petstore addPet --data '{"name":"Rex","photoUrls":[]}'
-
-# GraphQL (auto-generates query from schema)
-spec call --spec hashnode me
-spec call --spec hashnode publication --var host=blog.hashnode.dev
-
-# MCP
-spec call --spec agno search_agno --var query="how to create an agent"
-spec call --spec agno search_agno --data '{"query":"agents"}'
-
-# Read body from stdin (explicit --data -)
-echo '{"query":"agents"}' | spec call --spec agno search_agno --data -
-cat body.json | spec call --spec petstore addPet --data -
-
-# Inline (no registration)
-spec call --openapi https://petstore3.swagger.io/api/v3/openapi.json \
-  getPetById --var petId=1 --base-url https://petstore3.swagger.io/api/v3
-```
-
-### Per-call overrides
-
-Flags passed at call time win over registry entry config, which wins over `.spec-cli/config.json`.
-
-```bash
-spec call --spec agno search_agno --var query="foo" --header X-Tenant=acme
-spec call --spec petstore getPetById --var petId=1 --auth staging-token
-spec list --spec petstore --base-url https://staging.api.example.com
-```
-
----
-
-## Registry Management
-
-```bash
-spec remove <name>    # Delete entry and remove cache
-spec enable <name>    # Re-enable a disabled spec
-spec disable <name>   # Disable without removing
-spec refresh <name>   # Force re-fetch and update cache
-```
-
----
-
-## spec add options
-
-```bash
-spec add <name> --openapi <url-or-file>   [--base-url <url>] [--auth <token>] [--header k=v]
-spec add <name> --graphql <url>            [--auth <token>] [--header k=v]
-spec add <name> --mcp-http <url>           [--auth <token>] [--header k=v]
-spec add <name> --mcp-sse <url>            [--auth <token>] [--header k=v]
-spec add <name> --mcp-stdio "<cmd args>"   [--env KEY=VAL] [--cwd <path>]
-                                           [--description <text>]  (all types)
-```
-
-All options are repeatable where it makes sense (`--header`, `--env`). `--auth` adds `Authorization: Bearer <token>` unless the header is already set.
-
-For MCP entries, tool filtering is available:
-
-```bash
-spec add <name> --mcp-http <url> \
-  --allow-tool "read_*" --allow-tool "list_*" \
-  --disable-tool "delete_*"
-```
-
-`--allow-tool` keeps only matching tools. `--disable-tool` removes matching tools (applied after allow). Both accept glob patterns (`*`, `?`) or plain substrings.
-
----
-
-## Config
-
-Persistent config stored in `.spec-cli/config.json` (lowest priority — overridden by registry entry config and call-time flags).
-
-```bash
-spec config set baseUrl https://api.example.com
-spec config set auth my-token                        # Auto-adds "Bearer " prefix
-spec config set auth "Basic dXNlcjpwYXNz"            # Or explicit scheme
-spec config set headers.X-API-Key abc123              # Custom header (dot notation)
-spec config get
-spec config unset auth
-```
-
-## Validate
-
-```bash
-spec validate https://api.example.com/openapi.json
-spec validate ./openapi.yaml
-```
-
-Reports broken `$ref` references, missing required fields, duplicate operationIds, invalid schema types, and more.
-
-## Output Format
-
-JSON by default. Errors go to stderr as `{"error": "message"}` with a non-zero exit code.
-
-```bash
-spec list --spec petstore --format text
-spec show --spec petstore getPetById --format yaml
-spec list --spec petstore --format=json    # equals syntax also works
-```
-
-## Token Efficiency
-
-- `list` returns only IDs by default — no schemas
-- `show` resolves `$ref` compactly — nested refs show as names, not explosions
-- `types` lets you inspect one schema at a time
-- `--limit` / `--offset` paginate large APIs
-- `--filter` and `--tag` narrow results before output
-
-## MCP Options
-
-```bash
-# Retry on connection failure (useful for stdio servers that take time to start)
-MCP_MAX_RETRIES=3       # Attempts (default: 3)
-MCP_RETRY_DELAY=1000    # Base delay in ms, doubles each attempt, capped at 5s (default: 1000)
-
-# HTTP timeout for OpenAPI/GraphQL calls
-SPEC_HTTP_TIMEOUT=30000 # ms (default: 30000)
-```
-
-Stdio env vars support `${VAR}` expansion from the host environment:
-
-```bash
-spec add fs --mcp-stdio "npx -y server /tmp" --env "TOKEN=${MY_SECRET}"
-```
-
-## Storage

+
+## spec add options
+
+```bash
+spec add <name> --openapi <url-or-file>   [--base-url <url>] [--auth <token>] [--header k=v]
+spec add <name> --graphql <url>            [--auth <token>] [--header k=v]
+spec add <name> --mcp-http <url>           [--auth <token>] [--header k=v]
+spec add <name> --mcp-sse <url>            [--auth <token>] [--header k=v]
+spec add <name> --mcp-stdio "<cmd args>"   [--env KEY=VAL] [--cwd <path>]
+                                           [--description <text>]  (all types)
+```
+
+All options are repeatable where it makes sense (`--header`, `--env`). `--auth` adds `Authorization: Bearer <token>` unless the header is already set.
+
+Operation filtering works for all spec types — MCP, OpenAPI, and GraphQL:
+
+```bash
+# MCP: allow only read/list tools
+spec add <name> --mcp-http <url> \
+  --allow-tool "read_*" --allow-tool "list_*" \
+  --disable-tool "delete_*"
+
+# OpenAPI: allow only GET operations (by operationId)
+spec add <name> --openapi <url> \
+  --allow-tool "get*" --allow-tool "find*"
+
+# GraphQL: allow specific operations by exact name
+spec add <name> --graphql <url> \
+  --allow-tool "me" --allow-tool "publication"
+```
+
+`--allow-tool` keeps only matching operations. `--disable-tool` removes matching operations (applied after allow). Both are repeatable.
+
+**Matching rules:**
+- Plain text → **exact match** (case-insensitive): `"me"` matches only `me`
+- Glob patterns → anchored match: `"get*"` matches `getPetById`, `"*post*"` matches `createPost`
+
+Use `grep` for search (substring) — `--allow-tool` / `--disable-tool` for precise whitelists (exact or glob).
+
+---
+
+## OAuth / Authentication
+
+MCP HTTP and SSE servers that require OAuth 2.1 are handled automatically. spec-cli detects the 401 on `spec add` and runs the flow before returning.
+
+Two modes depending on whether the server supports Dynamic Client Registration (DCR):
+
+- **DCR-enabled servers** (e.g. self-hosted with Cloudflare workers-oauth-provider, Stytch, Curity) — no flags needed, browser opens automatically
+- **Pre-registered-only servers** (e.g. GitHub) — pass `--oauth-client-id` with your app's client ID
+
+### Interactive (browser) — default
+
+```bash
+# DCR-enabled server: fully automatic
+spec add myserver --mcp-http https://...
+
+# GitHub (no DCR) — create an OAuth App at github.com/settings/developers first
+# Set callback URL to http://127.0.0.1:8090/callback
+spec add github --mcp-http https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/ \
+  --oauth-client-id <your-github-app-client-id> \
+  --oauth-callback-port 8090
+```
+
+### Headless / device flow
+
+```bash
+spec add myserver --mcp-http https://... --oauth-flow device
+# Prints a URL to stderr — open in any browser to authorize
+```
+
+### Machine / CI (client credentials)
+
+```bash
+spec add myserver --mcp-http https://... \
+  --oauth-client-id <id> --oauth-client-secret <secret>
+```
+
+### Re-authenticate
+
+```bash
+spec auth myserver           # Re-run the OAuth flow
+spec auth myserver --revoke  # Clear stored token only
+```
+
+Tokens are stored in `~/spec-cli-config/tokens/<name>.json` — separate from the cache, not touched by `spec refresh`.
+
+### OAuth flags
+
+| Flag | Description |
+| --- | --- |
+| `--oauth-client-id <id>` | Skip DCR — use a pre-registered OAuth app client ID |
+| `--oauth-client-secret <secret>` | Use client credentials flow (machine/CI) |
+| `--oauth-callback-port <port>` | Fixed callback port (required for apps with exact redirect URL match, e.g. GitHub) |
+| `--oauth-flow device` | Force device authorization flow (headless/SSH) |
+
+---
+
