The CLI supports transport startup and persistent registry root management.

​
Commands

CommandDescription

coding-mcp remove <folder>Remove a root directory from the registry and rescan remaining roots.

​
Root management

init resets roots to one folder and performs a full scan: 
coding-mcp init /projects
add appends a root and rescans: 
coding-mcp add /srv/repos
remove deletes a root and rescans remaining roots: 
coding-mcp remove /srv/repos
All operations persist to the registry JSON file.
