About Kilobat CLI

I’m Philip, the maker. Kilobat CLI runs a local stdio MCP server with `kilobat mcp` on macOS 14+. It exposes network diagnostics and other tools; some operations can change settings, and some need permissions or the companion app. The CLI is free and GPL-3.0-only; the separate desktop app is proprietary, with free features and optional paid Pro. Building from source with Homebrew requires Xcode 16+. I tested CLI v0.45.1 with a local Claude Code connection health check; a complete agent-driven workflow was not tested.
