Commands

cix is a small dispatcher. Run cix <command> for the command you want, or cix --help for the list. Every command is also installed under its own name — cix-doctor is the same as cix doctor.

bash

cix --help        # list commands
cix --version     # print the installed version
cix <command> --help   # help for one command

cix mcp and cix serve run the MCP server yourself, over stdio or remotely. cix install wires this up for you, so you rarely need either.

Note — there is no cix status. To check whether your setup is healthy, run cix doctor.
