FAQPage Schema

How do I validate ALPS profiles for structural correctness?▼

Validate ALPS profiles using `asd-cli validate profile.json` to check syntax, structure, and semantic conformance. This ensures your profile meets ALPS standards before deployment or integration.

Can I convert ALPS profiles to Graphviz diagrams?▼

Yes. Use `asd-cli alps2dot profile.json | dot -Tsvg > diagram.svg` to convert ALPS to DOT format and generate visual diagrams. This helps document and review profile architecture.

What is ALPS and why validate it?▼

ALPS (Application Level Profile Semantics) is a lightweight specification format for describing API semantics. Validation ensures profiles are syntactically correct and follow ALPS conventions, preventing integration errors.

How do I integrate ALPS workflows with Claude Desktop?▼

Start an MCP server using asd-cli's built-in MCP integration to connect ALPS validation and visualization directly to Claude Desktop, automating profile management and enabling conversational workflows.

Does asd-cli work as a standalone CLI or require additional setup?▼

asd-cli operates as a single CLI tool for validation, conversion, and MCP server tasks without external dependencies. No additional configuration is required for core validation and visualization features.

What file formats does asd-cli support?▼

asd-cli accepts ALPS profiles (typically JSON) as input and outputs DOT format for Graphviz. It integrates with MCP for extended workflow automation and Claude Desktop connectivity.
