CLICommandsl4 mcp
l4 mcp
l4 mcp wires the agent clients on this machine to your cloud spend, so you can ask about it in the client you already use. It writes the client configuration for you rather than leaving you to hand-edit JSON.
l4 mcp install connects clients with a LevelFour API key. Signing in through the browser is the other credential, and it writes nothing to disk. Connecting a client compares them.Subcommands
| Command | What it does | Reach for it when |
|---|---|---|
l4 mcp install | Writes the server into every client it can confirm on this machine | You want every client wired in one step |
l4 mcp status | Reports, per client, whether it is installed and whether it carries a LevelFour entry | You have just installed, or an agent reports no LevelFour tools |
l4 mcp uninstall | Removes the entry, and can delete the dated backups that still hold a previous key | You are taking it back out, or a backup still holds an old key |
l4 mcp serve | Runs the server on your own machine over stdio | Rarely by hand. install points Claude Desktop at it |
Clients it configures
install, status and uninstall know Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code and Windsurf. Any other client that speaks MCP over streamable HTTP reaches the same server, configured by hand.
