chock gateway run

Ask the user before running chock gateway run: what it takes and prints, from the engine at the pinned commit.

Serve stdio between the MCP client and the wrapped server

Syntax

This is the usage line argparse builds from this command's parser.

chock gateway run [-h] [--repo REPO] ...

Arguments and options

The table lists every argument the parser declares, except -h, --help, written as argparse prints it. Default is the value the parser uses when you leave the option out. It is empty for a flag or when the parser sets none.

ArgumentDefaultHelp
--repo REPO.Repo root holding .chock/compiled (default: .)
downstreamThe real MCP server command, after -- (e.g. -- npx some-mcp-server)

Exit codes

  • 2: argparse rejected the arguments, for example an option this command does not have. The site's tests run every command with an unknown option and check that it exits 2.
  • Chock documents no other exit codes, and this page has no recorded run.

Help as printed

This is what --help prints, from the same parser. The usage line names the program as the engine's parser does.
