### Description (declared)

# cocoon

One MCP tool (and matching CLI) that lets an agent discover, auto-install, sandbox, and call any API in the [printing-press](https://github.com/mvanhorn/cli-printing-press) corpus — without per-API install steps, without per-API MCP server fan-out.

The agent-facing protocol is documented in [`skill/SKILL.md`](skill/SKILL.md). This repo holds both the runtime and the skill that ships with it.

## What it does

Register cocoon once with your MCP host. The agent then sees a **single tool**, `cocoon(action, ...)`, that multiplexes four operations:

```python
cocoon(action="find",     query="create a linear issue")
cocoon(action="describe", api="linear", tool="issues.create")
cocoon(action="call",     api="linear", tool="issues.create",
                          args={"title": "x", "team_id": "y"})
cocoon(action="list",     filter="payments")
```

On first `call` for any API, cocoon downloads the per-platform prebuilt `<api>-pp-cli` binary from printing-press-library's GitHub release (tag `<api>-current`), caches it under `~/.cache/cocoon/bin/<api>/`, and executes it in a per-call sandbox (bubblewrap on Linux, Seatbelt on macOS) with only that API's credentials scoped into the environment. The agent never takes a separate install step.

The CLI mirrors the same operations as subcommands for terminal use:

```sh
cocoon find "create a linear issue"
cocoon describe linear issues.create
cocoon call linear issues.create --arg title=x --arg team_id=y
cocoon list --filter payments
```

## Install

```sh
# `cocoon-mcp` is the PyPI distribution name; `cocoon` is the installed CLI.
uvx --from cocoon-mcp cocoon init                      # register via `claude mcp add`
uvx --from cocoon-mcp cocoon doctor                    # check sandbox + catalog state
uvx --from cocoon-mcp cocoon auth linear --token lin_… # write per-API credentials
```

For a local install pointing at a checkout instead of PyPI:

```sh
cocoon init --command "$(which cocoon) serve"
# or, running from …
