Kilobat CLI
macOS network diagnostics with JSON output and local MCP
Kilobat CLI brings Mac network monitoring and troubleshooting to the terminal, including application traffic, Wi-Fi information and connection diagnostics. JSON output supports scripts, and a local stdio MCP server exposes tools to AI assistants. The CLI is GPL-3.0-only and requires macOS 14 or later; the separate Kilobat desktop app is proprietary. Some system changes require confirmation or administrator authorization.
