Installation
Web Terminal
Mode 2 inside the logged-in dashboard — same hosted MCP as local mcpcli, answer-card output, public GitHub repos only. No npm install required in the browser.
Web terminal reuses Mode 2 answer-card language: hero, tags, Dig deeper.
Open /dashboard/terminal after signing in. Need a key: API keys. Full argv list: Terminal tools complete guide · What each command does · Local Mode 2 · grab (download public GitHub / npm files).
- You paste a public GitHub URL — the server materializes the repo for analysis.
- Commands hit the same hosted tools as local CLI (find_code, get_project_context, …).
- Output is human-first (cards / briefs), not a raw agent dump.
- Local projects with private code: use
npm install -g zephexandmcpclion your machine instead.

Slash commands
In the web terminal (and local zephex shell), type / to open the palette. Each row fills the command line — press Enter to run. MCP-backed slashes need sign-in and an API key; /help and /clear are local. Also try on zephex.dev/cli (browse without login; tools blocked until you sign in).

Local REPL shows 37 commands on bare / (test, failures, memory, doctor, …). Browser embed shows the 14 rows above. Full palette: Slash commands. Filter with /defs, /check-url, /auth, and 100+ more filter entries.
Commands are allowlisted in web-terminal-allowlist.ts. Shell operators (|, &&, ;) and raw shell (rm -rf, curl) are blocked. Unknown commands return: Try: overview · find · help.

Account / install / local-only flows stay on the npm CLI: setup, login, logout, doctor, repair, init, and scanning localhost. Use npm install -g zephex then mcpcli on your machine for those. Package upgrade alias loop-guard is the same as check-package --task upgrade — prefer the primary name when available.
Yes in web terminal: check url / site-audit, check-test, remember/recall when path allows, overview, find/read/architecture, packages, supply/shadow on public targets.
Public GitHub repos only
The web terminal clones public GitHub repositories on the server. Private repos, GitLab, and Bitbucket are not supported. If a repo is private or missing, you will see:
Private repos are not supported. Paste any public GitHub URL to get started.- Each routed command (except meta commands below) counts as one monthly request — including
overview, which runs multiple internal MCP calls but bills once. help,clear,compass, andlearndo not count against your monthly quota.- Tier limits match usage limits: Free 555/mo, Pro 3,500/mo, Max 10,000/mo.
check url(andsite-audit/audit-headers) stream progressive output — audits can take 30–120 seconds- Click a command chip to fill; Shift+click to run immediately
- Paste a code line without a command prefix (e.g.
export default function App()) — it routes topaste - Prefer the npm CLI for local projects — see Terminal tools (Mode 2)
