# Overview

These commands change local configuration, provision infrastructure, or update the instructions that agents read from `AGENTS.md`.

For agent access **without** the CLI, see [MCP](/docs/mcp/overview) (OAuth, init script, and tools). Deploy the shared stack under [Infrastructure](/infrastructure/overview).
