• /popcorn:pop — publish your project to a Popcorn channel in one command.

CLI vs MCP

This plugin works with either transport:

	CLI	MCP
Install	Auto-installed on first use	Auto-configured on first use
Updates	Auto-updates itself (or popcorn upgrade)	Server-side (transparent)
Features	Full (30+ commands)	7 tools (messaging, channels, deploy)
Context usage	Minimal (runs in shell)	Higher (MCP tool calls)
Recommended	Yes — preferred for all operations	Always available for conversational features

Both are installed on first use. The plugin prefers CLI when available and falls back to MCP tools.
