This page is generated from the same Commander tree as the mf binary. It documents the current public command surface; the installed binary remains authoritative for its own version.

**Generated from:** `mf 0.27.1`

Run `mf <command> --help` to confirm syntax for the version installed on your machine.

## Global options

**Usage:** `mf [options] [command]`

**Options**

| Options | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| `-V, --version` | output the version number |
| `--profile <name>` | CLI profile: separate credentials and daemon state per environment (env: MF_PROFILE) |
| `--api-url <url>` | API base URL |
| `--token <token>` | API token override ("-" reads stdin; direct values may appear in shell history and process lists) |
| `--agent-id <id>` | agent context: default agent for agent-scoped commands, accepted before or after the subcommand (env: MF_AGENT_ID) |
| `--account` | act at account scope: operate across the current account instead of only the current agent (default). Requires user-granted permission; without it the command stays scoped to the current agent. |
| `-h, --help` | display help for command |
