Tripsy Now Has a CLI (and an MCP)
Everything I wrote in Reading and Writing Tripsy's SQLite Database on macOS is now unnecessary. Tripsy released an official CLI and an MCP server . Install the CLI in one line: curl -fsSL https://tripsy.app/install_cli | bash The installer drops two binaries: tripsy for the CLI and tripsy-mcp for running the MCP server standalone. Log in once and credentials go into the OS keychain: tripsy auth…
Tripsy has introduced an official command-line interface (CLI) and an MCP server. Installing the CLI is as simple as running a single command. Once installed, users can log in and manage trips, activities, and transportation directly through the CLI, eliminating the need for the previous SQLite database method. The CLI provides human-readable output by default, JSON output when requested, and suggests follow-up commands in its responses.
While the MCP is better suited for planning conversations, the CLI offers precise control for editing specific fields. A minor issue was discovered with the --set option truncating values at the first space, but it can be worked around using the tripsy request PATCH command. The MCP is more appropriate for iterative conversation about trips, while the CLI is ideal for precise edits. The CLI now replaces the previous SQLite workaround, which is no longer necessary.
