About
smb is the command-line interface for smbCloud. It is
also an MCP server, so Claude, Cursor, and other AI agents can run the same operations
you do.
Send transactional email and set up domains and inbox routing on smbCloud Mail, manage authentication apps on smbCloud Auth, and deploy Rust, Node.js, Ruby, or Swift apps. One binary, no runtime to install.
Install
If you want the quickest setup, use a pre-built native binary.
Homebrew (macOS & Linux)
brew tap smbcloudXYZ/tap && brew trust --tap smbcloudXYZ/tap
brew install clinpm
npm install -g @smbcloud/cli
.NET tool
dotnet tool install --global SmbCloud.Cli
pip
Shell (macOS / Linux)
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/smbcloudXYZ/smbcloud-cli/main/install-unix.sh | shPowerShell (Windows)
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/smbcloudXYZ/smbcloud-cli/main/install-windows.sh | iex
Or grab a pre-built binary from the Releases page.
Quick Start
smb login smb init smb deploy
That gets you from login to first deploy.
MCP server
smb --mcp speaks the Model Context Protocol over
stdio, exposing 31 tools across smbCloud Mail, Auth, projects, and deployments. It is
listed in the official MCP Registry as io.github.smbcloudXYZ/smbcloud-cli.
Claude Code:
claude mcp add smbcloud -- smb --mcp
Claude Desktop, Cursor, and anything else that takes a JSON config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"smbcloud": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@smbcloud/cli", "--mcp"]
}
}
}Auth comes from smb login, so a terminal session and an agent session share the same
token and the same selected project. See docs/mcp.md for the full tool
reference.
CI / non-interactive mode
Pass --ci (or set SMB_CI=1, or run under any provider that sets CI) to
disable interactive prompts. Confirmations take their default; anything that
truly needs input fails fast with a clear message instead of hanging on a
missing TTY.
For example, the AircraftsHub monorepo deploys
its Next.js web app with a single non-interactive command — its
.smb/config.toml pins the project, source, and runtime, so smb --ci deploy
needs no prompts. See docs/ci.md for token setup and the full
behavior reference.
Documentation
See the docs/ directory for guides on authentication, project configuration, and deployment workflows.
