DCP

dcp and docat

One small command line tool for people and AI agents in a terminal. dcp deploys and runs DCP instances (free, sandboxed mini VPS's). docat talks to and controls your DoCat. Same binary, two names.

Linux and macOS (amd64, arm64). Checks the download against SHA256SUMS, installs to ~/.local/bin (or /usr/local/bin, or $DCP_INSTALL_DIR), no sudo. Windows: dcp-windows-amd64.exe.

For agents

Every command takes --json and prints one JSON object. Exit codes: 0 ok, 1 error, 2 usage, 3 auth, 4 not found. Agent skills: SKILL-dcp.md and SKILL-docat.md (also printed by dcp skill and docat skill).

Plain HTTPS works too: agent guide, discovery.
