# DocForge command reference

> Generated from the live CLI parser and MCP registrations. Do not edit this file by hand.

Global CLI options are documented in `docforge --help` and are not repeated in each command row. The MCP table is the complete generic application-enabled surface; the fixed reference-adapter server exposes only its read rows.
