starcat is the cross-platform command-line client for Starcat and a stdio MCP server for AI agents such as Codex and Claude Code.

The CLI never reads the Starcat database directly and does not duplicate application business logic. Every read and write goes through Starcat MCP tools, so permissions, dry-run behavior, Pro entitlement checks, and audit logging remain enforced by the Starcat app.
