merge-gateway-cli
mgw — the Merge Gateway CLI. Route your existing coding agents
(Claude Code, Codex) through Merge Gateway without editing
config files by hand.
Install
pipx install merge-gateway # recommended (isolated env)
pip install merge-gateway # alternative
What it does
mgw login— sign in through your browser (loopback + PKCE), storing a short-lived credential under~/.mgw.mgw setup <harness>— mint a gateway API key and write the harness config (claude-code→~/.claude/settings.json,codex→~/.codex/config.toml).mgw doctor— confirm the harness routes through the gateway.mgw keys list|rm— manage the keys mgw minted;mgw logoutclears local state.
No human at the keyboard? mgw agent signup
An AI agent can set itself up without anyone opening a browser:
mgw agent signup # creates an organization, saves a key, writes the harness config
mgw doctor # confirms the gateway routes
mgw agent whoami # what the saved credential is for (validates it with the server)
mgw agent claim-url # a fresh claim link for your user (revokes the previous one)
mgw agent forget # drop the local credentials (nothing is revoked server-side)
signup prints a claim URL. The organization it created has nobody in it
and runs as a sandbox (a small lifetime budget, a daily request cap and a
cheap-model allowlist) until a person opens that link, signs up or logs in,
and becomes its admin — at which point the ordinary account flow (phone
verification, payment method) lifts the limits. The API key is written to
~/.mgw/agent.json with 0600 permissions and is never printed; pass --json
for machine-readable output (the key is excluded there too).
Signup is rate limited per address and fleet-wide; if it is refused, the
message says why. Re-running signup on a machine that already has agent
credentials is refused — use whoami to reuse them.
Set MGW_CONTROL_PLANE_URL / MGW_GATEWAY_URL to target a non-production
environment (e.g. https://api-gateway-develop.merge.dev for both).
Development
We use uv.
uv sync --locked # create .venv from the lockfile
make run ARGS="--version" # run the CLI
make tests # run tests
make lint # ruff check + format check
See AGENTS.md for repository conventions.
