Interop

What is Interop?

Interop is a command-line interface tool that provides a unified interface for managing projects, executing commands, and integrating with AI assistants. It serves as a bridge between development projects, custom commands, and MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers for AI integration. It is designed for developers to streamline repetitive tasks across different domains.

How to use Interop?

Interop can be installed via Homebrew on macOS/Linux (brew install yigitozgumus/formulae/interop) or built from source. It uses a TOML configuration file at ~/.config/interop/settings.toml which can be edited with interop edit. Users list projects with interop projects, add remote repositories with interop config remote add, fetch them with interop config remote fetch, and validate configurations with interop validate.

Key features of Interop

• Project management with validation and metadata
• Command execution with project context and arguments
• Dynamic command loading from multiple directories with precedence
• Remote configuration system fetching from Git repositories with conflict resolution

FAQ from Interop

What is the MCP server integration?

Interop allows configuring multiple MCP servers in settings.toml, each with a name, description, and port, to expose commands to AI assistants with enhanced metadata.

How does dynamic configuration loading work?

Interop loads configuration definitions from specified command_dirs directories, which can contain *.toml files with commands, projects, prompts, and MCP server definitions, with precedence: main settings > command dirs (in order) > alphabetical file order.

How does the remote configuration system work?

Interop can fetch configurations from Git repositories, maintain local copies in config.d.remote and executables.remote directories, track file changes with SHA-256 hashing for incremental updates, and automatically integrate with local configurations. Local configurations take precedence.

What are the system requirements?

Interop works on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It can be built from source using Go or installed via Homebrew on macOS/Linux.

How do I handle configuration conflicts?

Interop provides a validate command that detects potential conflicts between local and remote configurations, showing warnings and indicating that local configurations take precedence.
