What changed
| # | What the source says | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Major: Manufact Cloud CLI rewritten for agents with typed requests, consistent JSON results and errors, framework-independent deployment, project links in .manufact, scoped environment variables and Cloud management commands. | Reported |
| 02 | login, logout and whoami rewritten for agents: without a TTY or with --json, login prints the device code as JSON and exits; login --device-code finishes after approval. | Reported |
| 03 | Device login creates an API key stored in ~/.manufact/auth.json (mode 0600); MANUFACT_TOKEN overrides the stored key; logout revokes the key login created. | Reported |
| 04 | mcp-use link / unlink save { orgId, serverId } in .manufact/project.json and add .manufact/ to .gitignore; deploy reads and writes that link. | Reported |
| 05 | Deployments wait for a running state by default (--no-wait for immediate results); environment variables are scoped to the selected production or preview branch. | Reported |
| 06 | Patch adds include organization members/invitations, publishing checklist commands, alert rules with optimistic concurrency, domain management and GitHub App connection commands. | Reported |

Primary source: @mcp-use/cli 5.0.0 GitHub release. We are the fast, independent index; the vendor’s own page is the source of record for this release.
In the source’s words
“Rewrite the Manufact Cloud CLI for agents with typed requests, consistent JSON results and errors, framework-independent deployment, project links in .manufact, scoped environment variables, and Cloud management commands.”
“Without a TTY, or with --json, login prints the device code as JSON and exits.”
“A device login creates an API key named CLI”
Early verdict
Most relevant to agent/CI users of Manufact Cloud who need machine-readable login and deploy output; not a reason to churn if you only use local MCP servers.
Basis: Based on the published major and patch notes for @mcp-use/cli@5.0.0; we have not run the CLI.
What we have not verified
- We did not install @mcp-use/cli 5.0.0 or run a Manufact Cloud deploy.
- We did not verify migration of older ~/.mcp-use/config.json credentials on a live machine.
- Server APIs are stated as unchanged for the framework's bundled CLI; we did not regression-test them.
