Do I need the CLI, or is MCP enough?
The MCP server covers ingesting documents, querying the knowledge base, and organizing the tree: folders, tags, versions.
Generating content, the brand kit, content types and publishing are on the CLI and REST API.
Start with MCP: it needs no shell, works in chat assistants as well as coding agents, and is the fastest path from nothing to a working knowledge base. Move to the CLI when you need generation or publishing.
| Task | MCP | CLI and API |
|---|---|---|
| Ingest a document | Yes | POST /org/kb/raw |
| Query the knowledge base | Yes | POST /org/search |
| Generate content | No | POST /org/content-generation/run |
| Publish | No | POST /org/content-engine/publish |
