Frogger

CLI, Python SDK, and MCP server for the GlassFrog API v3.

Manage Holacracy governance — circles, roles, people, policies, and more — from the command line or through AI agents.

Install

Homebrew (recommended)

brew install precisionnutrition/tap/frogger

uv or pipx

uv tool install frogger-cli
# or
pipx install frogger-cli

Both install the frogger command. The MCP server ships in the same package.

Development install

git clone git@github.com:PrecisionNutrition/frogger.git
cd frogger
uv sync --extra dev

API Key Setup

mkdir -p ~/.config/glassfrog
echo "YOUR_API_KEY" > ~/.config/glassfrog/api_key.txt

Or set the GLASSFROG_API_KEY environment variable.

CLI Usage

# List resources
frogger circles list
frogger roles list --circle-id 272
frogger people list --circle-id 272
frogger policies list --circle-id 272

# Get a single resource
frogger circles get 272
frogger people get 1082
frogger people get alaina@precisionnutrition.com   # lookup by email

# JSON output (for scripting / agents)
frogger --json circles list

# Full backup
frogger backup

# Organization info
frogger org

Write Operations

frogger people create --name "Jane Doe" --email "jane@example.com"
frogger projects create --description "New project" --circle-id 272 --role-id 2670 --person-id 1082
frogger people update 1082 --name "New Name"

Deleting Records

Deletes always require --force and automatically back up the record first:

frogger people delete 12345 --force

Use --dry-run to preview without executing:

frogger --dry-run people delete 12345 --force

Policy Proposals

Since policies can't be created via the API, generate a formatted proposal document:

frogger policies propose 272 --title "My Policy" --body "Policy text here"

This saves a markdown file to ./proposals/ with circle context and existing policies for reference.

432	Financial Operations
1281	People Operations
7215	Coaching and Education Operations
100741	Growth & Customer Experience

Python SDK

Use the SDK directly in Python:

from glassfrog import GlassFrogClient
from glassfrog.resources import circles, policies

client = GlassFrogClient.from_key_file()

# List all circles
for circle in circles.list_circles(client):
    print(f"{circle.id}: {circle.name}")

# Get policies for PN Company
for policy in policies.list_policies(client, circle_id=272):
    print(f"{policy.title}: {policy.body[:80]}")

MCP Server

Expose GlassFrog as tools for Claude and other AI agents.

Installed via Homebrew or pipx? Run the MCP server without a checkout: uvx --from frogger-cli python -m glassfrog_mcp.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport stdio glassfrog -- python -m glassfrog_mcp

# Or user-wide (all projects):
claude mcp add --transport stdio --scope user glassfrog -- python -m glassfrog_mcp

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "glassfrog": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "glassfrog_mcp"],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

The MCP server provides 41 tools (glassfrog_circles_list, glassfrog_people_get, etc.) and a glassfrog_guide prompt describing all capabilities.

Tests

# Unit tests (mocked HTTP)
pytest tests/unit/ -v

# Integration tests (live API, GET-only)
pytest tests/integration/ -m integration -v -s

# All tests
pytest -v

# Coverage (SDK)
pytest tests/unit/ --cov=src/glassfrog --cov-report=term-missing

Safety

• Deletes require --force and always back up the record first
• Per-record backup on delete is mandatory and cannot be skipped
• frogger backup creates a full timestamped snapshot of all data
• Backups are stored in ~/.config/glassfrog/backups/
• Integration tests only use GET — no writes against the live API
