CLI 5.7.0

An agent can now be created, talked to and set up from the terminal the way the web app does it. Creating an agent picks its model and its sandbox, a conversation runs at the command line, automations take their schedule the way you would say it, skills install by name or publish from a local folder, and an agent’s MCP servers are managed per scope.

mf agent create --model-provider binds the agent to Manyfold managed models, to your own subscription or to a saved provider, --model picks one of the provider’s tested models, and --sandbox adds the agent to a sandbox you already have. Progress names each step, and running the same command again after Ctrl-C attaches to the create already under way. It no longer reads keys or models from environment variables: pass the key flag, with - to read it from stdin. --provider-id is now --runtime-provider, and --model replaces the per-framework model flags.

mf agent send sends one message and prints the reply, with files, thinking and a Ctrl-C that stops the turn on the server; mf agent chat holds the conversation at a prompt. mf agent update --model sets a coding agent’s model from its next turn.

mf automations create builds its schedule from a preset such as daily or weekly, timed with --at, in this machine’s timezone. mf automations run --wait follows the run’s reply, and mf automations result prints the full reply of the latest run.

mf skills install takes a skill’s name, and mf skills library publish puts a local skill folder into your library and onto the agents that have it. mf mcp adds, installs, lists and removes an agent’s MCP servers and writes them to its machine; mf mcp pull first reads back servers added on the machine itself.

mf sandbox list, delete and update show, free and update your sandboxes, and mf model-providers list and test show which providers can serve a framework, with which models.
