Quick Start

1. Installation

Quick Install (Recommended): The install script automatically detects your OS (Linux/macOS), downloads the latest release binary, makes it executable, and verifies the installation.

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/getoptimum/mump2p-cli/main/install.sh | bash

Expected Output:

Manual Installation: Download from releases and make executable.

2. Authentication

./mump2p login
./mump2p whoami  # Check your session

Development/Testing Mode:

# Skip authentication for testing (requires --client-id and --service-url)
./mump2p --disable-auth --client-id="my-test-client" publish --topic=test --message="Hello" --service-url="http://34.146.222.111:8080"
./mump2p --disable-auth --client-id="my-test-client" subscribe --topic=test --service-url="http://34.146.222.111:8080"
./mump2p --disable-auth --client-id="my-test-client" list-topics --service-url="http://34.146.222.111:8080"

3. Basic Usage

# Subscribe to a topic (WebSocket)
./mump2p subscribe --topic=test-topic

# Subscribe via gRPC stream
./mump2p subscribe --topic=test-topic --grpc

# Publish a message (HTTP)
./mump2p publish --topic=test-topic --message='Hello World'

# Publish via gRPC
./mump2p publish --topic=test-topic --message='Hello World' --grpc

# List your active topics
./mump2p list-topics

# Output formats - JSON/YAML for automation and scripting
./mump2p list-topics --output=json
./mump2p whoami --output=yaml

# Debug mode - detailed timing and proxy information
./mump2p --debug publish --topic=test-topic --message='Hello World'
./mump2p --debug subscribe --topic=test-topic

# Tracer dashboard - real-time metrics visualization
./mump2p tracer dashboard

Transport Protocols

• HTTP/WebSocket (Default): Traditional REST API with WebSocket streaming
• gRPC: High-performance binary protocol with streaming support
• Use --grpc flag for both publishing and subscribing

FAQ - Common Issues & Troubleshooting

1. Available Service URLs

By default, the CLI uses the first proxy in the list below. You can override this using the --service-url flag or by rebuilding with a different SERVICE_URL.

Proxy Address	Location	URL	Notes
34.146.222.111	Tokyo	http://34.146.222.111:8080	Default
35.221.118.95	Tokyo	http://35.221.118.95:8080
34.142.205.26	Singapore	http://34.142.205.26:8080

Note: More geo-locations coming soon!

Example: Using a different proxy:

./mump2p-mac publish --topic=example-topic --message='Hello' --service-url="http://35.221.118.95:8080"
./mump2p-mac subscribe --topic=example-topic --service-url="http://34.142.205.26:8080"

2. Authentication & Account Issues

Error: Connection refused

Error: HTTP publish failed: dial tcp [::1]:8080: connect: connection refused

Causes:

• Proxy not running
• Wrong port or hostname
• Firewall blocking connection
• Service not listening on specified port

Solutions:

• Start proxy service
• Verify correct hostname and port
• Check docker ps for running containers
• Use correct service URL
• Try a different proxy from the table above

3. Rate Limiting & Usage Issues

Error: Rate limit exceeded

Error: per-hour limit reached (100/hour)
Error: daily quota exceeded
Error: message size exceeds limit

Causes:

• Publishing too frequently
• Message too large for tier
• Daily quota exhausted
• Per-second limit hit

Solutions:

• Wait for rate limit reset
• Use smaller messages
• Check usage: ./mump2p usage
• Contact admin for higher limits
• Spread out publish operations

Error: Token expired

Error: token has expired, please login again

Causes:

• JWT token expired (24 hours)
• Clock skew
• Token corrupted

Solutions:

• Refresh token: ./mump2p refresh
• Login again: ./mump2p login
• Check system time

4. CLI Usage & Syntax Issues

Error: Missing required flags

Error: required flag(s) "topic" not set

Causes:

• Forgetting required command line arguments
• Typos in flag names

Solutions:

• Use --help to see required flags
• Include all required arguments
• Check flag spelling and syntax

5. Development Mode (--disable-auth)

For development and testing, you can bypass authentication:

# Requires --client-id and --service-url flags
./mump2p --disable-auth --client-id="test-client" \
  publish --topic=test --message="Hello" \
  --service-url="http://34.146.222.111:8080"

Note: This mode is for testing only. No rate limits enforced. See guide for full details.

6. Debug Mode & Performance Analysis

The --debug flag provides detailed timing and proxy information for troubleshooting:

# Enable debug mode for operations
./mump2p --debug publish --topic=test-topic --message='Hello World'
./mump2p --debug subscribe --topic=test-topic

# Combine with --disable-auth for testing
./mump2p --disable-auth --client-id="test" --debug \
  publish --topic=test --message="Hello" \
  --service-url="http://34.146.222.111:8080"

For comprehensive debug mode usage, performance analysis, and blast testing examples, see the Complete User Guide.

Pro Tips for First-Time Users:

• Always check docker ps and docker logs for container status
• Use --help flag liberally to understand command options
• Test authentication first with whoami before trying other operations
• Start with simple publish/subscribe before advanced features
• Keep proxy and CLI logs visible during troubleshooting
• Check usage command regularly to monitor limits
• For webhook integration and advanced features, see the Complete User Guide
