There is no first-class Ruflo CLI command or MCP tool, so Codex, other MCP clients, CI, and ordinary shells cannot use the same lifecycle operation.\n\nManual creation of a Markdown file is possible, but it bypasses the plugin's sequential numbering, standard template, AgentDB registration, rela\n\n[Read the thread](https://github.com/ruvnet/ruflo/issues/3112) · 2026-08-27 · open · external user · 1 comment\n\n### Optional Parallel Search MCP setup for the self-hosted Web UI\n\nHey!
