rodeo - Meme Rodeo CLI & MCP Proxy

Go CLI that connects to the meme-rodeo MCP server. Works as both a direct CLI tool and a local MCP stdio proxy for agents like OpenClaw and Claude Code.

When to use rodeo

User asks to search for memes
User wants meme collection stats
User wants random memes for inspiration
User needs to configure or troubleshoot meme-rodeo access
User wants to set up MCP proxy for meme tools

Prerequisites

The rodeo binary must be built:

cd /Users/harper/Public/src/2389/meme-rodeo/cli && go build -o rodeo .

An API key must be configured (check with rodeo config get api-key). If not set:

rodeo config set api-key <key>
# or
rodeo login  # OAuth with Google

CLI Commands

List available tools

rodeo tools

Returns: search_memes, get_meme, random_memes, list_recent, meme_stats

Call a tool directly

# Search memes by keyword
rodeo call search_memes '{"query":"cat","limit":5}'

# Get collection statistics
rodeo call meme_stats

# Get random memes
rodeo call random_memes '{"count":3}'

# Get a specific meme by ID
rodeo call get_meme '{"id":"abc123"}'

# List recently added memes
rodeo call list_recent '{"limit":10}'

Configuration

rodeo config get api-key        # Check API key
rodeo config get server-url     # Check server URL (default: https://mcp.meme.rodeo)
rodeo config set api-key <key>  # Set API key

Config lives at ~/.config/rodeo/config.yaml.

MCP Proxy Mode

Start the stdio proxy server for use with OpenClaw or Claude Code:

rodeo serve

Add to Claude Code `.mcp.json`

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memes": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "/path/to/rodeo",
      "args": ["serve"]
    }
  }
}

This exposes all meme-rodeo tools (search_memes, get_meme, random_memes, list_recent, meme_stats) as local MCP tools that any agent can call.

Auth Precedence

--api-key CLI flag
RODEO_API_KEY environment variable
OAuth token (from rodeo login)
API key from config file

Troubleshooting

"no auth configured": Run rodeo config set api-key <key> or rodeo login
Connection errors: Check rodeo config get server-url — default is https://mcp.meme.rodeo
"invalid JSON": Tool args must be valid JSON objects, e.g. '{"query":"cat"}'
