The [`kingminos`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/kingminos) CLI calls the same HTTP API as REST and MCP, from your terminal. One command per live route, one tenant Bearer key, no stored credentials.

This section is the map. The command reference is one page: [kingminos CLI](/docs/cli/).

## Where to start

- [Install](/docs/cli/#install) — `npm i -g kingminos`, or `npx` without installing.
- [Auth and host](/docs/cli/#auth-and-host) — `KINGMINOS_API_KEY`, `--token`, `--base-url`, `--json`.
- [Commands](/docs/cli/#commands) — `health`, `providers`, `company resolve`, `batch`, and the rest.
- [Exit codes](/docs/cli/#exit-codes) — what non-zero means.

## What the CLI does not do

The CLI is not the [MCP server](/docs/mcp/) and not the [Agent Skills](/docs/skills/) pack. REST covers every route the CLI covers; see the [API overview](/docs/api/).
