**Momus API test harness — CLI runner.**
## What is this?
`momus-cli` is the command-line binary for the Momus API test harness. It provides a unified interface to all Momus capabilities: running and validating test plans, starting a mock server, load testing, fuzzing, chaos engineering, contract testing, security scanning, diff testing, and converting API descriptions into test plans.
## Commands
```text
Usage: momus <COMMAND>
Commands:
run Run a test plan from a JSON file
validate Validate a test plan JSON file
mock Start a mock server for testing
bench Load test a plan (steady, max-throughput, or soak)
fuzz Fuzz test a plan with payload mutations
chaos Run chaos experiments against a plan
convert Convert an API description into a test plan
contract Validate API responses against an OpenAPI/GraphQL spec
guard Security scan a plan for common vulnerabilities
diff Diff responses between two environments
```
### `momus run`
```bash
# Run with default output directory
momus run plan.json
# Override base URL
momus run plan.json --base-url http://other-server:3000
# Generate HTML report
momus run plan.json --output report.html
```
### `momus validate`
```bash
momus validate plan.json
# ✓ Valid test plan: 'health check'
# Total tests: 3
# Steps: 1
```
### `momus mock`
```bash
momus mock --port 8091
# Momus mock server listening on http://127.0.0.1:8091
```
### `momus bench`
```bash
# Steady load: 50 concurrent users for 60 seconds
momus bench plan.json --concurrency 50 --duration 60
# Generate HTML report
momus bench plan.json --concurrency 100 --duration 30 --output report.html
```
### `momus fuzz`
```bash
# Generate 5000 mutations
momus fuzz plan.json --iterations 5000
```
### `momus chaos`
```bash
# Run chaos experiments
momus chaos plan.json
```
### `momus convert`
```bash
# Convert a cURL command into a test plan
momus convert curl 'curl -X POST https://api.example.com/users -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"name\":\"test\"}"'
# Convert a HAR file into a test plan
momus convert har traffic.har
# Convert an OpenAPI spec into a test plan
momus convert openapi spec.yaml
# Convert a Postman collection into a test plan
momus convert postman collection.json
# Convert a GraphQL schema into a test plan
momus convert graphql schema.graphql
# Convert a gRPC proto into a test plan
momus convert grpc service.proto
# Convert a FHIR IG package into a test plan
momus convert fhir ig.tar.gz
```
### `momus contract`
```bash
# Validate responses against an OpenAPI spec
momus contract plan.json --spec openapi.yaml
```
### `momus guard`
```bash
# Security scan a plan
momus guard plan.json
```
### `momus diff`
```bash
# Diff responses between two environments
momus diff plan.json --baseline https://api-v1.example.com --target https://api-v2.example.com
```
