API Examples

Check capabilities

curl http://localhost:8001/mrp/v1/capabilities

Execute code

curl -X POST http://localhost:8001/mrp/v1/execute \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"code": "echo Hello, World!"}'

Get completions

curl -X POST http://localhost:8001/mrp/v1/complete \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"code": "ec", "cursor": 2}'

List variables

curl -X POST http://localhost:8001/mrp/v1/variables \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"session": "default"}'

Stream execution

curl -X POST http://localhost:8001/mrp/v1/execute/stream \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"code": "for i in 1 2 3; do echo $i; sleep 1; done"}'

Sessions

Sessions maintain persistent Bash state:

• Environment variables persist between executions
• Working directory changes persist
• Shell functions and aliases persist

# Create a session
curl -X POST http://localhost:8001/mrp/v1/sessions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"id": "my-session"}'

# Execute in session
curl -X POST http://localhost:8001/mrp/v1/execute \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"code": "export MY_VAR=hello", "session": "my-session"}'

# Variable persists
curl -X POST http://localhost:8001/mrp/v1/execute \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"code": "echo $MY_VAR", "session": "my-session"}'

# Reset session (clear state)
curl -X POST http://localhost:8001/mrp/v1/sessions/my-session/reset

# Delete session
curl -X DELETE http://localhost:8001/mrp/v1/sessions/my-session

Completions

The server provides completions via bash's compgen:

• Commands: builtins, functions, aliases, executables
• Files: paths with / prefix
• Variables: names with $ prefix

Development

# Clone and install in development mode
git clone <repo>
cd mrmd-bash
pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Run with auto-reload
mrmd-bash --reload

# Run tests
pytest

Protocol

This server implements the MRMD Runtime Protocol (MRP).
