## MCP tools (4)

### `status` (~324 tokens)

Cloud-code sync status

Dry-run: classify every cloud-code script for the branch (in-sync / pull / push / conflict / pull-new / push-new / delete-local / delete-remote). Always safe — no writes. Use a "read" ticket from getSyncTicket.

Input parameters:

- `adoptNoGitBranch` (boolean): Confirm moving the no-git sync state and app mapping onto the current git branch (dropping the no-branch entry). Needed once, when a folder first synced without git is now on a real branch; the tool…
- `branch` (string): Git branch to sync. Defaults to the current branch from .git/HEAD; if the folder is not a git repo, a reserved no-branch key is used and can later be adopted onto a real branch.
- `confirmAppName` (string): Safety confirmation. Only needed for a previously-synced folder that has no committed .bcsync app mapping (e.g. synced by an older helper): set this to the ticket's appName to confirm you intend to s…
- `rootDir` (string): Absolute path to the local cloud-code sync folder (the .ccjs tree + .bcsync). Optional: if omitted, the helper discovers the nearest .bcsync folder at or above its working directory. Pass it explicit…
- `ticket` (object, required): Short-lived ticket from the hosted MCP getSyncTicket tool.

### `pull` (~345 tokens)

Pull cloud-code to local

Apply brainCloud → local for non-conflicting changes (pull / pull-new). Conflicts and local-only changes are left untouched and reported in "skipped". Local deletes only happen with allowDeletes=true. Use a "read" ticket from getSyncTicket.

Input parameters:

- `adoptNoGitBranch` (boolean): Confirm moving the no-git sync state and app mapping onto the current git branch (dropping the no-branch entry). Needed once, when a folder first synced without git is now on a real branch; the tool…
- `allowDeletes` (boolean): Delete local files for scripts removed on brainCloud (default false).
- `branch` (string): Git branch to sync. Defaults to the current branch from .git/HEAD; if the folder is not a git repo, a reserved no-branch key is used and can later be adopted onto a real branch.
- `confirmAppName` (string): Safety confirmation. Only needed for a previously-synced folder that has no committed .bcsync app mapping (e.g. synced by an older helper): set this to the ticket's appName to confirm you intend to s…
- `rootDir` (string): Absolute path to the local cloud-code sync folder (the .ccjs tree + .bcsync). Optional: if omitted, the helper discovers the nearest .bcsync folder at or above its working directory. Pass it explicit…
- `ticket` (object, required): Short-lived ticket from the hosted MCP getSyncTicket tool.

### `push` (~344 tokens)

Push local cloud-code to brainCloud

Apply local → brainCloud for non-conflicting changes (push / push-new) via one bulk import (mode addAndUpdateOnly — never deletes). Conflicts and remote-only changes are left untouched and reported in "skipped". Requires a "write" ticket from getSyncTicket (the hosted MCP refuses a write ticket for a live-locked app).

Input parameters:

- `adoptNoGitBranch` (boolean): Confirm moving the no-git sync state and app mapping onto the current git branch (dropping the no-branch entry). Needed once, when a folder first synced without git is now on a real branch; the tool…
- `branch` (string): Git branch to sync. Defaults to the current branch from .git/HEAD; if the folder is not a git repo, a reserved no-branch key is used and can later be adopted onto a real branch.
- `confirmAppName` (string): Safety confirmation. Only needed for a previously-synced folder that has no committed .bcsync app mapping (e.g. synced by an older helper): set this to the ticket's appName to confirm you intend to s…
- `rootDir` (string): Absolute path to the local cloud-code sync folder (the .ccjs tree + .bcsync). Optional: if omitted, the helper discovers the nearest .bcsync folder at or above its working directory. Pass it explicit…
- `ticket` (object, required): Short-lived ticket from the hosted MCP getSyncTicket tool.

### `sync` (~415 tokens)

Two-way sync cloud-code with brainCloud

Full bidirectional sync for the branch: pulls non-conflicting remote changes, pushes non-conflicting local changes, and 3-way-merges scripts changed on BOTH sides (using brainCloud version history for the merge base). Cleanly-merged scripts are written locally and pushed; genuine conflicts get git-style <<<<<<< markers written into the file and are reported in "conflicted" for you to resolve, then re-run sync. Deletions (delete-local / delete-remote) are applied only when allowDeletes=true. Requires a "write" ticket from getSyncTicket (refused for a live-locked app).

Input parameters:

- `adoptNoGitBranch` (boolean): Confirm moving the no-git sync state and app mapping onto the current git branch (dropping the no-branch entry). Needed once, when a folder first synced without git is now on a real branch; the tool…
- `allowDeletes` (boolean): Apply deletions in both directions (default false).
- `branch` (string): Git branch to sync. Defaults to the current branch from .git/HEAD; if the folder is not a git repo, a reserved no-branch key is used and can later be adopted onto a real branch.
- `confirmAppName` (string): Safety confirmation. Only needed for a previously-synced folder that has no committed .bcsync app mapping (e.g. synced by an older helper): set this to the ticket's appName to confirm you intend to s…
- `rootDir` (string): Absolute path to the local cloud-code sync folder (the .ccjs tree + .bcsync). Optional: if omitted, the helper discovers the nearest .bcsync folder at or above its working directory. Pass it explicit…
- `ticket` (object, required): Short-lived ticket from the hosted MCP getSyncTicket tool.
