| name | morpho-cli |
| description | Drive the Morpho lending protocol from the terminal via `npx @morpho-org/cli@latest` — queries vaults/markets/positions and prepares unsigned Morpho transactions with built-in simulation across all supported chains (Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Unichain, World Chain, Katana, HyperEVM, Monad, Stable). Invoke whenever the user asks to explore Morpho vault APYs / TVL / allocations ("best USDC vault on Base"), compare Morpho Blue markets ("ETH/USDC markets on Arbitrum"), inspect positions or health factor ("what are my Morpho positions"), or prepare any Morpho operation — deposit, withdraw, supply, borrow, repay, supply/withdraw collateral — even when the user doesn't explicitly name the CLI. If the user is writing application code that integrates Morpho, prefer the morpho-builder skill instead. |
morpho-cli
Experimental (pre-v1.0) — Command syntax, response schemas, and available operations may change. Always verify critical outputs independently.
Query Morpho protocol data and build unsigned transactions. All commands output JSON to stdout. No private keys needed.
npx @morpho-org/cli@latest <command> [options]
Supported chains: ethereum, base, arbitrum, optimism, polygon, unichain, worldchain, katana, hyperevm, monad, stable. Every command requires --chain.
Response Schemas
- Read commands — exact JSON shapes for all read tools; includes reading conventions that apply to every response
- Write commands —
PreparedOperation shape, outcome sub-schema, and per-tool input shapes for prepare-*

Write Workflow: Prepare → Present
Every write operation follows two steps. Simulation runs automatically inside prepare-*.
- Prepare — run a
prepare-* command. The CLI handles token decimals, allowances, approvals, and simulation automatically. Returns a PreparedOperation with transactions, summary, warnings, outcome (post-state preview), and an optional simulation block.
- Verify simulation: the response's optional
simulation.transfers lists the actual transfers an EVM simulation observed. When Tenderly is configured (MCP path with TENDERLY_* env vars set) and ran successfully, simulation.assetChanges[] is also present — each entry carries { type, from, to, amount, rawAmount, dollarValue, tokenInfo: { address, symbol, decimals, name } }. Use assetChanges (when present) for richer human-readable summaries; transfers is the canonical agent-side check. Absence of simulation plus an error-level warning (SIMULATION_REVERTED, BUNDLER_RETAINS_FUNDS, SANCTIONED_ADDRESS) means the bundle is known-bad — do not present transactions for signing.
- Present — show the summary, list of unsigned transactions, outcome, and any warnings (low health factor, partial liquidity) in tabular format.
Simulation runs inline as part of every prepare-* call — there is no separate simulation command.
| Operation | outcome shape | Key fields to surface |
|---|
deposit, withdraw (vaults) | outcome.vault | sharesReceived, assetsReceived, positionAssets, positionShares |
supply, borrow, repay, supply_collateral, withdraw_collateral (markets) | outcome.market | healthFactor, isHealthy, maxBorrowable, utilizationBeforePct → utilizationAfterPct, borrowApyBeforePct → borrowApyAfterPct, plus post-operation supplied / borrowed / collateral (raw integer strings — divide by 10^decimals) |
Simulation Failures
| Revert | Cause | What to do |
|---|
ERC20: insufficient allowance | Missing approval | Re-prepare — CLI should include approvals automatically |
ERC4626ExceededMaxWithdraw | Vault liquidity insufficient | Reduce amount (see below) |
insufficient balance | User lacks tokens | Tell the user |
| Custom error hex | Protocol-specific | Query state with get-market or get-vault to diagnose |
Partial Withdrawal
When prepare-withdraw --amount max cannot withdraw the full balance, the CLI returns a PreparedOperation whose warnings[] calls out the liquidity shortfall. The response is still valid — it represents the largest withdrawable amount right now.
- Surface the warning to the user verbatim — do not silently accept a smaller withdrawal.
- Offer two paths:
- Accept the partial amount the CLI prepared (inspect
outcome.vault.assetsReceived for the concrete figure, optionally re-run prepare-withdraw with --amount <value> using ~99% of that figure as a safety buffer against interest accrual between prepare and execute).
- Wait for more liquidity — locked assets unlock as underlying-market borrowers repay or the curator reallocates.
- Never invent an amount by parsing the
summary string — it is a human sentence, not a machine-readable field.
Safety Rules
- Check simulation before presenting — check for
simulation.transfers in the response; if absent and warnings contains an error-level entry, halt and diagnose before presenting
- Never sign or broadcast — unsigned payloads only
- Watch health factor for borrows — warn if below 1.1
- Communicate liquidity constraints clearly for partial withdrawals
CLI Errors
When a npx @morpho-org/cli@latest command fails, stop and report the error to the user. Do not:
- Retry with different parameters you invented
- Fall back to alternative tools or APIs
- Attempt to work around missing required options
- Pipe output through
jq or other filters — use the CLI's built-in flags (--fields, --sort-by, --limit, etc.) to shape the response
Common Mistakes
- Forgetting
--chain — every command requires it, there is no default
- Using chain IDs (
1, 8453) instead of names (ethereum, base)
- Dividing
TokenAmount.value by 10^decimals — TokenAmount values are already decimal-applied (a USDC value of "1000" means $1,000, not 1,000 micro-USDC). *Pct fields are already percent-scaled; *Usd fields are already in dollars. The only raw integer strings are inside outcome.market.{supplied,borrowed,collateral} and outcome.vault.{sharesReceived,assetsReceived,positionShares} — those do need /10^decimals for display.
- Assuming 18 decimals — USDC/USDT have 6, WBTC/cbBTC have 8. Read decimals from response metadata; never assume.
- Passing raw units as
--amount — CLI expects human-readable (1000 not 1000000000)
- Ignoring absent
simulation field plus an error-level warning — diagnose before presenting
- Re-computing amounts from
TokenAmount.value — the value is already decimal-applied; quote it directly to the user
