MetaBuilder CLI

This simple CLI targets MetaBuilder services via HTTP and uses Conan + Ninja for dependency management and builds.

Requirements

• Conan 2 (used for dependency resolution)
• CMake 3.27+ (the Conan toolchain generator targets this minimum)
• Ninja (build backend)
• A running MetaBuilder frontend (defaults to http://localhost:3000)

Building

cd frontends/cli
conan install . --output-folder build --build missing
cmake -S . -B build -G Ninja
cmake --build build

Conan will provision cpr for HTTP requests and generate conan_toolchain.cmake inside build/.

Running

The executable looks for METABUILDER_BASE_URL (default http://localhost:3000):

METABUILDER_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000 ./build/bin/metabuilder-cli auth session
METABUILDER_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000 ./build/bin/metabuilder-cli user list

Available commands are listed when running without arguments or with an unrecognized command.

Continuous Integration

Changes under frontends/cli/ now trigger .github/workflows/ci/cli.yml, which runs Conan, configures/ninja-build the project, and validates that metabuilder-cli --help exits cleanly.
