The user-facing tool. Two invocation modes:
- `claudemesh mcp` → MCP server (stdio), consumed by Claude Code
- `claudemesh <subcommand>` → human CLI

Verified:
- `bun src/index.ts --help` → prints usage
- `bun src/index.ts install` → prints MCP add command with resolved path
- `bun src/index.ts list` → "No meshes joined yet"
- `bun src/index.ts mcp` (via stdin) → returns tools/list with all 5 tools

@claudemesh/cli
Client tool for claudemesh — install once per machine, join one or more meshes, and your Claude Code sessions can talk to peers on demand.
Install
# From npm (once published)
npm install -g @claudemesh/cli
# Or from the monorepo during dev
cd apps/cli && bun link
Then register the MCP server with Claude Code:
claudemesh install
# prints: claude mcp add claudemesh --scope user -- claudemesh mcp
Run the printed command, then restart Claude Code.
Join a mesh
claudemesh join ic://join/BASE64URL...
The invite link is generated by whoever runs the mesh. It bundles the
mesh id, expiry, signing key, and role. Your CLI verifies it,
generates a fresh keypair, enrolls you with the broker, and persists
the result to ~/.claudemesh/config.json.
Commands
claudemesh install # print MCP registration command
claudemesh join <link> # join a mesh via invite link
claudemesh list # show joined meshes + identities
claudemesh leave <slug> # leave a mesh
claudemesh mcp # start MCP server (stdio — Claude Code only)
claudemesh --help # show usage

Status
v0.1.0 scaffold — CLI commands + MCP server shell in place. WS broker connection, libsodium crypto, invite-link verification, and auto-install of hooks land in subsequent steps.
