What It Is
A lab of 20+ properties needs one front door from the terminal, and 4ort-cli is it: a single command-line client for the whole network, published on npm as @4ort/cli. Site hosting, mail, knowledge-graph search and Q&A, smart web search, video publishing. Every major surface of the lab, reachable from one command.
The secrets handling is the part worth pausing on: a 1Password-style 4ort run injects vault secrets into child processes only, so plaintext never touches disk. Your keys live in the vault; your scripts get them at runtime; nothing leaks into files or shell history.
And because this is the AI-first internet, the CLI is also an agent tool by design: an mcp mode turns the CLI itself into an MCP server, handing any agent the same lab-wide capabilities a human gets at the terminal.
Highlights
- One client, whole lab: site hosting, mail, KG search and Q&A, smart web search, and video publishing from a single CLI
- Published on npm as
@4ort/cli, so you can install it anywhere Node runs - 1Password-style secrets:
4ort runinjects vault secrets into child processes only - Plaintext never touches disk: credentials stay in the vault, delivered only at runtime
- MCP mode: the CLI doubles as an MCP server, giving any agent the same lab-wide toolset
- Lean stack: TypeScript on commander.js, a small tool with a long reach
