5 New CLI Features You Missed This Week

We shipped updates across 8 CLI tools this week. Some are obvious (MCP support everywhere). Others are hidden in flag help text. Here's what you need to know � one minute per feature.

1. DeployDiff: --exit-on-destroy and --threshold

Two new flags make DeployDiff a proper CI gate:

# Fail the build if any resource would be destroyed
deploydiff diff plan.json --exit-on-destroy

# Fail if estimated cost exceeds $500
deploydiff diff plan.json --threshold 500

# Combine both
deploydiff diff plan.json --exit-on-destroy --threshold 200

Previously you had to pipe output and grep for keywords. Now exit codes handle it � zero glue.

2. Envault: --fail-on-missing

Block deploys when environments drift apart:

# Exit non-zero if staging has keys that prod doesn't
envault diff staging prod --fail-on-missing

# Use in CI to prevent config drift
envault diff staging prod --fail-on-missing || exit 1

Combined with envault sync, this gives you a detect-and-repair loop for environment variables.

3. MCP Subcommand in Every Tool

Every DevForge CLI tool now has a built-in mcp subcommand. No wrappers, no click-to-mcp conversion � just:

# Any tool, any environment
deploydiff mcp
envault mcp
schemaforge mcp  
apighost mcp

Each one starts an MCP server exposing that tool's full functionality. Claude Code, Cursor, and Cline can call them directly. See the full walkthrough here.

4. click-to-mcp config Command

Generate MCP client JSON config for any tool with one command:

# Generate config for Claude Desktop
click-to-mcp config my-cli

# Output as JSON
click-to-mcp config my-cli --json-output

# List tools before serving
click-to-mcp list-tools my-cli

Supports Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Cline. No more hand-writing JSON config blocks.

5. SchemaForge v1.7.0: VS Code Extension

SchemaForge now works natively in VS Code with 11-format bidirectional ORM conversion:

• Live preview � convert between SQL DDL, Prisma, Drizzle, TypeORM, Django, SQLAlchemy, GraphQL SDL, JSON Schema, Protobuf, Avro, and OpenAPI 3.0
• Quick convert � Ctrl+Alt+S to convert the current file
• Format detection � Ctrl+Alt+D to auto-detect the format of any schema file
• Two-file diff � compare schema files side by side

110 bidirectional conversion paths, 270+ tests, zero-loss roundtripping. Install from the VS Code Marketplace.

What's Next

All tools now have MCP capabilities. The next focus is CI/CD integration documentation � ready-to-copy GitHub Actions workflows for every combination of tools.
