Every designer artifact (pages, forms, dashboards, themes, workspaces, reports, print templates, menus, mobile navs, providers, data services, data views, blocks, test cases): list, get, create, update, publish, history, delete	erp artifact list / get / create / update / publish / history / delete --type <type>	erp_plugin_op (artifact-*)
Entities and rules	erp plugin op entity-list / entity-get / rule-list / rule-create / rule-delete	erp_plugin_op
Anything else (roles, users, jobs, ...)	erp api get / post / put / delete <path>	not yet a first-class tool

Honest summary. The whole plugin lifecycle, service control, customization, publishing, source code in every language, every designer artifact, entities and rules, schemas, validation and documentation are first-class in both the CLI and MCP. Roles, users, jobs and other tenant settings are reachable from the CLI through erp api and their REST paths but do not yet have named commands, and MCP has no generic API tool. Named commands for those are Planned.

Examples

erp plugin op                                   # list every operation
erp plugin op java-compile --plugin-id leave-manager
erp plugin op service-deploy --plugin-id leave-manager
erp plugin op service-set-config --plugin-id leave-manager --cpus 2 --memory 1g
erp plugin op service-logs --plugin-id leave-manager --tail 100
erp plugin op extend-installed --plugin-id hcm-core --newPluginId acme-hcm --newName "Acme HCM"
erp plugin op overrides
erp plugin op extension-points

# any designer artifact, by type
erp artifact list   --type forms --latestOnly true
erp artifact create --type dashboards --name leave-dashboard --file ./leave-dashboard.json
erp artifact publish --type dashboards --id 12

# source code in the plugin, any language
erp source write --plugin-id leave-management --path service/app/main.py --file ./main.py

# any other feature, through its REST path
erp api post /api/v1/entities/lm_leave_type/records --body '{"type_code":"STUDY","type_name":"Study leave"}'
erp api get  "/api/v1/entities/lm_leave_type/records?page=0&size=20"

Package from a folder with node tools/spark-cli/spark.js package <dir> -o out.spk (--no-source keeps source out of the package). Upgrade past an extension check with --force-upgrade.

MCP

The MCP server exposes erp_plugin_op for every plugin operation, for example {"op":"service-restart","pluginId":"leave-manager"}, and the validation and documentation tools above. Install it into your editor with erp mcp install.
