CLI Guide
Section titled “CLI Guide”mureo provides a command-line interface for setup, authentication, and environment configuration. Ad platform operations are handled through MCP tools used by AI agents, not through the CLI.

Setup Commands
Section titled “Setup Commands”Claude Code (recommended)
Section titled “Claude Code (recommended)”mureo setup claude-codeOne-command setup that handles:
- Google Ads / Meta Ads authentication (OAuth)
- MCP server configuration (
~/.claude/settings.json) - Credential guard (blocks AI agents from reading secrets)
- Workflow commands (
~/.claude/commands/) - Skills (
~/.claude/skills/)
Use --skip-auth to install commands, skills, MCP config, and credential guard without running OAuth:
mureo setup claude-code --skip-authCursor
Section titled “Cursor”mureo setup cursorSets up authentication and MCP configuration for Cursor. Cursor does not support workflow commands or skills.
OpenAI Codex CLI
Section titled “OpenAI Codex CLI”mureo setup codexFull parity with Claude Code. Installs:
- MCP server configuration as a tagged
[mcp_servers.mureo]block in~/.codex/config.toml(append-only; refuses to overwrite an untagged pre-existing[mcp_servers.mureo]). - Credential guard — PreToolUse hooks in
~/.codex/hooks.json(Read + Bash) that block any tool call that would touch~/.mureo/credentials*. - Workflow commands as Codex skills at
~/.codex/skills/<command>/SKILL.mdwith YAML frontmatter. Users invoke them with$daily-check,$onboard, … or via the/skillspicker. (Codex CLI 0.117.0+ no longer surfaces~/.codex/prompts/, per openai/codex#15941; re-runningmureo setup codexalso deletes stale prompt files that mureo owns, while leaving user-authored prompts alone.) - Shared mureo skills at
~/.codex/skills/mureo-*/.
--skip-auth is supported and is auto-implied under a non-TTY subprocess (e.g. an AI agent’s Bash tool) so the command can never hang on a confirm prompt.
Gemini CLI
Section titled “Gemini CLI”mureo setup geminiRegisters mureo as a Gemini CLI extension at ~/.gemini/extensions/mureo/gemini-extension.json with mcpServers.mureo and contextFileName: CONTEXT.md. Operator-added top-level keys (excludeTools, renamed contextFileName) and extra mcpServers entries are preserved across reinstall. Gemini CLI does not support PreToolUse hooks or the .md command format, so those layers are not installed.
Per-platform flags (all setup … subcommands)
Section titled “Per-platform flags (all setup … subcommands)”Every setup subcommand accepts:
--skip-auth— install MCP config (+ guard / commands / skills, where supported) without running OAuth. Auto-implied under a non-TTY invocation.--google-ads/--no-google-ads— override the “configure Google Ads?” prompt.--meta-ads/--no-meta-ads— override the “configure Meta Ads?” prompt.
Passing the platform flags alongside --skip-auth (or under a non-TTY) emits a warning and is ignored.
Authentication Commands
Section titled “Authentication Commands”# Show authentication status for all platformsmureo auth status
# Check Google Ads credentials (masked output)mureo auth check-google
# Check Meta Ads credentials (masked output)mureo auth check-meta
# Interactive authentication wizard (terminal prompts)mureo auth setup
# Browser configuration UI (no terminal input needed) — supersedes the# removed `mureo auth setup --web`mureo configureCredential entry has two front doors:
mureo auth setup(terminal, default) — walks you through Google Ads / Meta Ads setup via stdin prompts. Best when you’re comfortable pasting secrets into a terminal.mureo configure(browser) — starts a local UI onhttp://127.0.0.1:<random-port>/and opens your browser. It does the same credential entry (HTML forms + standard OAuth redirects, each field deep-linked to the right console) and the rest of Claude setup: pick the host, run basic setup, add official MCP providers, scaffold Demo/BYOD. Recommended when an AI agent (Claude Code, etc.) pointed you here, or you just prefer a GUI. (The oldmureo auth setup --webwas removed and folded intomureo configure.)
Both end at the same destination: ~/.mureo/credentials.json is populated and Claude (or any other MCP client) picks up mureo after a restart.
See authentication.md for details on credentials.
Rollback Commands
Section titled “Rollback Commands”mureo rollback lets an operator inspect reversible actions recorded in STATE.json. The commands are read-only — executing a rollback still goes through the MCP dispatcher so it re-enters the same policy gate as forward actions.
# List every state-changing action log entry with the planner's verdict.mureo rollback list
# Limit to one platform.mureo rollback list --platform google_ads
# Inspect a specific entry (index as shown by `list`).mureo rollback show 3
# Point at a non-default STATE.json location.mureo rollback list --state-file /path/to/STATE.jsonlist output:
# timestamp platform status action------------------------------------------------------------------------ 0 2026-04-15T10:00:00 google_ads supported update_budget 2 2026-04-13T12:00:00 meta_ads partial * update_status 3 2026-04-12T08:00:00 google_ads not_supported update_budget* marks entries with caveats (e.g. “spend during pause is not refundable”); run mureo rollback show <#> for the full detail.
show emits JSON for scripting:
{ "index": 0, "source_timestamp": "2026-04-15T10:00:00", "source_action": "update_budget", "platform": "google_ads", "status": "supported", "operation": "google_ads_budget_update", "params": {"budget_id": "222", "amount_micros": 10000000000}, "caveats": [], "notes": ""}A rollback entry only appears when the agent wrote a reversible_params hint at the time of the original action. Operations outside the planner’s allow-list, or hints that smuggle unexpected parameter keys, are rejected at plan time — see architecture.md for the threat model.
Applying a rollback
Section titled “Applying a rollback”Execution is not a CLI command — it is the rollback_apply MCP tool. The CLI is intentionally read-only; applying a rollback from the CLI would bypass the authentication, rate-limiting, and input-validation gate that every forward action passes through. To apply a rollback, ask the agent to call rollback_apply with the index shown by mureo rollback list:
You: "Roll back action #0."Agent: rollback_plan_get → previews the reversal.Agent: rollback_apply({index: 0, confirm: true}) → dispatches.confirm must be the literal boolean true (truthy non-booleans are refused). On success the executor appends a new log entry tagged rollback_of=<index>; a second apply of the same index is refused. state_file resolves strictly inside the MCP server’s current working directory — ..-traversal and symlink escape are refused so an attacker-crafted STATE.json elsewhere on disk cannot be used as the reversal source.
BYOD Commands (Bring Your Own Data)
Section titled “BYOD Commands (Bring Your Own Data)”Analyse your ad-account data locally without OAuth or a developer token. The importer accepts a single XLSX produced by either the mureo Google Ads Script (scripts/sheet-template/google-ads-script.js) or a Meta Ads Manager Saved Report. Activated automatically when ~/.mureo/byod/manifest.json registers a platform — no --byod flag exists. Adapter dispatch is by workbook header signature, so no --google-ads / --meta-ads flags on import are needed. See docs/byod.md for the full walkthrough.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
mureo byod import <file>.xlsx | Import a Sheet bundle. Aborts if any platform present in the workbook is already imported. |
mureo byod import <file>.xlsx --replace | Overwrite existing BYOD data for any platform present in the bundle. |
mureo byod status | Show per-platform mode (BYOD / Live API / not configured); warns about stale entries from older mureo versions. |
mureo byod remove --google-ads / --meta-ads | Remove BYOD data for one platform. |
mureo byod clear | Wipe ~/.mureo/byod/ (prompts for confirmation). |
mureo byod clear --yes | Skip the confirmation prompt. |
Per-platform routing
Section titled “Per-platform routing”The MCP server checks each platform independently at every tool dispatch. With google_ads imported but meta_ads not, a single /daily-check call uses the BYOD CSVs for Google Ads and the live API for Meta Ads. mureo byod status shows the active mix.
GA4 and Search Console are not part of the BYOD bundle pipeline — they remain on the Live API OAuth path.
Read-only guarantee
Section titled “Read-only guarantee”BYOD mode rejects every mutation tool. Methods whose name starts with create_, update_, delete_, remove_, add_, send_, upload_, pause_, resume_, enable_, disable_, apply_, publish_, submit_, attach_, detach_, approve_, reject_, cancel_, set_, or patch_ return:
{ "status": "skipped_in_byod_readonly", "operation": "<name>", "note": "BYOD mode is analysis-only. This call would have written to a real ad account."}The agent can analyse and recommend, but never writes.
Output Format
Section titled “Output Format”Authentication check commands output JSON to stdout:
mureo auth check-google | jq .{ "developer_token": "***************abcd", "client_id": "123456789.apps.googleusercontent.com", "client_secret": "***************wxyz", "refresh_token": "***************efgh", "login_customer_id": "1234567890"}Secrets are masked, showing only the last 4 characters.
Ad Platform Operations
Section titled “Ad Platform Operations”Ad platform operations (listing campaigns, creating ads, analyzing performance, etc.) are available through MCP tools, not the CLI. AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini) call these tools directly.
See mcp-server.md for the full tool reference.
