What's godmode?

godmode is a CLI with one invocation grammar for everything you install — APIs, MCP servers, local commands. Each of those is an extension, and they all take the same shape on the command line.

Because every call goes through godmode, extensions can scope what's reachable: a stripe extension can hide account edits, a filesystem extension can restrict paths, a database extension can forbid writes. The sandbox is inherent to the abstraction, not a feature layered on top.

godmode ext install stripe
godmode stripe api customers cus_123     # REST call
godmode stripe mcp                       # serve over MCP

Grammar

godmode [extension] [interface] [args]...

• [extension] — something you installed with godmode ext install [name], or one of the built-ins ext and agent.
• [interface] — api, graphql, or mcp. Required for user extensions.
• [args] — resources, tools, queries, or verbs — shape depends on the interface.

The CLI is self-describing at every level:

godmode                                   # top-level: interfaces + built-ins
godmode [extension] --help                # declared interfaces
godmode [extension] [interface] --help    # methods, resources, options
godmode [extension] [interface] [resource] --help

--help works at every nesting level and always prints the options actually available at that scope.

Interfaces

• api — REST, driven by an OpenAPI spec. Example: godmode stripe api customers limit==10.
• graphql — SDL file or introspected endpoint. Example: godmode github graphql '{ viewer { login } }'.
• mcp — stdio or HTTP MCP servers. Example: godmode context7 mcp <tool>.

Any extension can also be served as an MCP server so you can wire it into Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stripe": { "command": "godmode", "args": ["stripe", "mcp"] }
  }
}

Where to go next

• Getting Started — install the CLI and make your first call.
• CLI — the grammar, --help discovery, and the built-in ext / agent extensions.
• Authentication — env vars, .env, and the three credential types.
• Integrations — wire godmode into Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP clients.

See the Extensions tab for the catalog of installable extensions, or Developers to author your own.
