# Chronograf Tools

Chronograf provides command line tools designed to aid in managing and working with Chronograf from the command line. The following command line interfaces (CLIs) are available:

## [Use the InfluxDB documentation MCP server](/chronograf/v1/tools/mcp-server/)

Query Chronograf documentation from your IDE using the InfluxDB documentation Model Context Protocol (MCP) server.

## [chronoctl](/chronograf/v1/tools/chronoctl/)

The `chronoctl` command line interface (CLI) includes commands to interact with an instance of Chronograf’s data store.

## [chronograf - Chronograf server](/chronograf/v1/tools/chronograf/)

The `chronograf` daemon starts and manages all the processes associated with the Chronograf server and includes options that manage many aspects of Chronograf security.
