morpho-cli

> Experimental (pre-v1.0) — Command syntax, response schemas, and available operations may change. Always verify critical outputs independently.

Query Morpho protocol data and build unsigned transactions. All commands output JSON to stdout. No private keys needed.

npx @morpho-org/cli <command> [options]

Supported chains: base, ethereum. Every command requires --chain.

Response Schemas

• Read commands — exact JSON shapes for query-vaults, get-vault, query-markets, get-market, get-positions, get-position
• Write commands — exact JSON shapes for prepare-\*, simulate-transactions

Quick Reference

# Write — prepare unsigned transactions (simulation runs by default; add --no-simulate to skip)

Write Workflow: Prepare → Present

Every write operation follows two steps. Simulation runs automatically inside prepare-*.

1. Prepare — run a prepare-* command. The CLI handles token decimals, allowances, approvals, and simulation automatically. Returns {operation, simulation} where operation has transactions/summary/warnings/preview and simulation has execution results, gas, and post-state analysis. Use --no-simulate to skip simulation.
2. Present — show the summary, list of unsigned transactions, simulation results, and any warnings (low health factor, partial liquidity) in tabular format. If simulation.allSucceeded is false — diagnose before presenting.

Use simulate-transactions separately only for re-simulating with different parameters or simulating arbitrary transactions.

Simulation Failures

Partial Withdrawal

If prepare-withdraw --amount max returns a liquidity warning:

1. Parse the safe amount from summary, apply ~1% buffer (parsedAmount * 0.99)
2. Re-call prepare-withdraw with the buffered amount, then simulate
3. Tell the user: remaining locked assets free up as borrowers repay

Safety Rules

1. Check simulation before presenting — simulation runs by default; check simulation.allSucceeded before presenting
2. Never sign or broadcast — unsigned payloads only
3. Watch health factor for borrows — warn if below 1.1
4. Communicate liquidity constraints clearly for partial withdrawals

CLI Errors

When a npx @morpho-org/cli command fails, stop and report the error to the user. Do not:

• Retry with different parameters you invented
• Fall back to alternative tools or APIs
• Attempt to work around missing required options
• Pipe output through jq or other filters — use the CLI's built-in flags (--fields, --sort-by, --limit, etc.) to shape the response

Common Mistakes

• Forgetting --chain — every command requires it, there is no default
• Using chain IDs (1, 8453) instead of names (ethereum, base)
• Displaying raw amounts without dividing by 10^decimals — "2000000000" USDC is 2000, not 2 billion
• Assuming 18 decimals — USDC/USDT have 6
• Passing raw units as --amount — CLI expects human-readable (1000 not 1000000000)
• Using --no-simulate without reason — simulation is on by default; only skip when debugging or for speed
• Ignoring simulation.allSucceeded === false — diagnose before presenting
