Automate¶
Doing the same job again without clicking through it: recipes, batches, scripts and agents.
Each row is one job, with where to find it in the app, on the command line and as an MCP tool for AI agents. A dash means that surface does not offer it.
| I want to... | In the app | Command line | MCP tool |
|---|---|---|---|
| Replay a recorded clean-up | Recipes | --recipe |
apply_recipe |
| Convert many files at once | Batch Convert | --batch-convert |
batch_convert |
Everything in this guide that has a command-line or MCP column can be scripted. Start with the command-line overview or the MCP server; shell completions and Docker / Podman help with running Octa headless.
