LexQ CLI

The decision platform for engineering teams. CLI and MCP server for LexQ — move business rules out of your deploy pipeline, prove every change with simulation, and ship without a git push.

Why LexQ?

Your business rules — pricing, promotions, fee logic, eligibility checks — change often. But every change ships through the same PR → review → staging → deploy cycle as your core application code. A one-line discount rule takes two weeks.

This is an architectural problem, not a process problem. Business logic that changes weekly shouldn't live in code that ships quarterly.

LexQ separates the two. Rules live outside your application. You change them in a visual console or through this CLI. You prove every change with batch simulation against real execution data. You deploy without touching your codebase.

Every decision leaves a full audit trace.

Install

npm install -g @lexq/cli

Or run without installing:

npx @lexq/cli

Requires Node.js 18+.

Quick Start

# 1. Authenticate
lexq auth login
# Enter your API key (create one at console.lexq.io → Management → API Keys)

# 2. Verify
lexq auth whoami

# 3. Create a policy group
lexq groups create --json '{"name":"my-policy","priority":0}'

# 4. Create a draft version
lexq versions create --group-id <GROUP_ID> --json '{"commitMessage":"v1"}'

# 5. Add a rule
lexq rules create --group-id <GROUP_ID> --version-id <VERSION_ID> --json '{
  "name": "VIP Discount",
  "priority": 0,
  "condition": {
    "type": "SINGLE",
    "field": "customer_tier",
    "operator": "EQUALS",
    "value": "VIP",
    "valueType": "STRING"
  },
  "actions": [{
    "type": "DISCOUNT",
    "parameters": {"method":"PERCENTAGE","rate":10,"refVar":"payment_amount"}
  }]
}'

# 6. Test against your data before shipping
lexq analytics dry-run --version-id <VERSION_ID> --debug --mock \
  --json '{"facts":{"customer_tier":"VIP","payment_amount":100000}}'

# 7. Deploy
lexq deploy publish --group-id <GROUP_ID> --version-id <VERSION_ID> --memo "v1"
lexq deploy live --group-id <GROUP_ID> --version-id <VERSION_ID> --memo "Initial deploy"

For AI Agents — 63 MCP Tools

LexQ is designed to be AI-native. The entire policy engine API — all 63 tools — is exposed via Model Context Protocol. Claude, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible agents can create, simulate, and deploy rules autonomously, with human approval before production.

Claude.ai (Cloud — no install)

Settings → Connectors → Add Custom Integration
Enter: https://mcp.lexq.io
Sign in with your LexQ account and select an API key
Done — 63 tools available in every conversation

Remote (Streamable HTTP)

For any MCP client that supports remote servers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lexq": {
      "url": "https://mcp.lexq.io"
    }
  }
}

OAuth 2.1 authentication is handled automatically by your client.

Local (stdio)

Run LexQ CLI as a local MCP server:

lexq serve --mcp

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lexq": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@lexq/cli",
        "serve",
        "--mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code / Cursor

.vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "lexq": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@lexq/cli",
        "serve",
        "--mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Prerequisite: lexq auth login must have been run once to store an API key in ~/.lexq/config.json.

AI Agent Skills

LexQ CLI ships with AI Agent Skills — structured documentation agents read to understand how to use the tools, not just what they are.
