6MM CLI

Use the 6MM command-line interface from terminals, scripts, and AI coding agents.

6MM CLI is the command-line entrypoint for users, scripts, and AI Agents that can execute shell commands.

Use CLI when the AI environment can run terminal commands directly. This is often the simplest path for coding agents because no separate MCP server is required. The CLI should return stable JSON by default so agents can parse results without relying on terminal formatting.

What the CLI is good for

  • Quick market-data queries from a terminal.
  • Agent-driven analysis in Codex, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or similar tools.
  • CI or scheduled scripts that need 6MM data.
  • Account-read checks when local credentials are configured.
  • Order preview flows where the agent prepares parameters but does not place an order.

Example commands

$6mm markets
$6mm ticker BTC-USDT-PERP
$6mm orderbook BTC-USDT-PERP --depth 20
$6mm klines BTC-USDT-PERP --interval 1h --limit 100

Agent usage
