Interactive UI & diagnostics

The CLI ships with a full-screen terminal UI for browsing your workspace, plus a one-shot environment check. Both are useful the moment you install mcp.

mcp ui — the terminal dashboard

mcp ui opens an interactive dashboard over your orgs, servers, skills, deployments, the marketplace, and local mcp dev sessions — no flags required.
On first launch you get the splash, then it drops into the list view (the splash is shown once per install; pass --no-splash to skip it):

mcp ui splash — shown once per install.

mcp ui servers tab

The Servers tab: live status, version, and last-deployed time for every server.

Tabs

Switch tabs with the number keys or Tab:

Keys

Your last tab, org, sort, filter, and selected row are persisted to ~/.mcpcloud/tui-state.json, so the next launch resumes where you left off.

mcp doctor — environment check

mcp doctor verifies your local setup in one pass: Node version, config file permissions, the active profile and base URL, API-key authentication, the claude CLI (used by mcp skills connect --apply), and whether you’re on the latest release.

A healthy environment — every check passes.

It also reports the deployment version and the capabilities your backend supports (cli.exchange, sandbox.testRuns.create, mutations.idempotencyKey, deployment.events.follow, server.deploy) so you can confirm a command is available before scripting against it. Pair it with mcp update to upgrade when a newer release ships.
