Description
ModWrench CLI is designed for gamers who engage in modding activities. It serves as a unified MCP server that bundles all installed ModWrench platform packages. This tool is particularly useful for diagnosing local modding issues and providing insights into mod performance. Users can search Thunderstore, read load orders from MO2, r2modman, or Vortex, and parse crash logs to identify the mod causing issues. The tool integrates with platforms like Nexus and mod.io, requiring personal API keys for full functionality. ModWrench CLI ensures secure credential handling by storing keys in the OS credential manager, supporting Windows, macOS, and Linux systems. It requires Node.js 20 or newer and is available under the MIT license. The tool is free to use and does not require an account or key for Thunderstore and local diagnostics. However, users should be aware that Nexus API keys are for personal use only, and using them with ModWrench may lead to limitations imposed by Nexus.
