MotoHunt — Printing Press CLI

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the motohunt-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first:

1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin on Windows:

   npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install motohunt --cli-only
   

2. Verify: motohunt-pp-cli --version
3. Ensure the reported install directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill.

If the npx install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.6 or newer). This installs into $GOPATH/bin (default $HOME/go/bin), so add that directory to $PATH instead:

go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/other/motohunt/cmd/motohunt-pp-cli@latest

If --version reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds.

MotoHunt has no public API; this CLI scrapes its server-rendered HTML with one HTTP GET per page and returns clean JSON. It surfaces the price-research data (base MSRP, average listing price, deal rating) that makes 'is this a good deal?' answerable, ranks synced inventory by under-market gap with deal, watches saved searches for new listings and price drops, and covers the ATV sister site via --site atv.

When to Use This CLI

Use this CLI when an agent or script needs to search used motorcycle or ATV inventory, pull a listing's specs and price-research, rank a search by under-market deal gap, or watch a saved search for new listings and price drops. It is the only programmatic access to MotoHunt's MSRP/ALP/deal-rating data.

When Not to Use This CLI

Do not activate this CLI for requests that require creating, updating, deleting, publishing, commenting, upvoting, inviting, ordering, sending messages, booking, purchasing, or changing remote state. This printed CLI exposes read-only commands for inspection, export, sync, and analysis.

Unique Capabilities

These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API.

Price intelligence

• get — See a listing's MSRP, average listing price, and deal rating as typed fields, not buried prose.

  Reach for this to answer 'is this listing actually a good price?' without reading the page.

  motohunt-pp-cli get 13256655 --agent --select base_msrp,alp,deal_rating
  

• deal — Rank synced listings by how far the asking price sits below the average listing price.

  Reach for this to surface the biggest under-market deals across a whole search.

  motohunt-pp-cli deal --make Harley-Davidson --location 33705 --limit 20 --agent
  

Local state that compounds

• watch run — Re-run saved searches and report new listings and price drops since the last run.

  Reach for this to monitor a hunt over time instead of re-searching by hand.

  motohunt-pp-cli watch run --agent
  

Coverage

• search — Search motorcycles (motohunt.com) or ATV/UTV/SxS (atvhunt.com) from one binary via --site.

  Reach for --site atv when the hunt is four-wheelers instead of bikes.

  motohunt-pp-cli search --site atv --location 33705 --agent
  

Command Reference

listings — Search and inspect motorcycle/ATV listings

• motohunt-pp-cli listings get — Fetch a single listing detail page
• motohunt-pp-cli listings search — Search listings; returns links to listing detail pages (use the hand-built search command for parsed cards)

Finding the right command

When you know what you want to do but not which command does it, ask the CLI directly:

motohunt-pp-cli which "<capability in your own words>"

which resolves a natural-language capability query to the best matching command from this CLI's curated feature index. Exit code 0 means at least one match; exit code 2 means no confident match — fall back to --help or use a narrower query.

Recipes

Best-deal Harleys near me

motohunt-pp-cli search --make Harley-Davidson --location 33705 --sort c --limit 40 --agent --select title,price,deal_rating,location

Top under-market Harleys, slimmed to the fields that matter.

Is this listing a good price?

motohunt-pp-cli get 13256655 --agent --select price,base_msrp,alp,deal_rating

Compare the ask against MSRP and the average listing price.

Watch a hunt for price drops

motohunt-pp-cli watch add --name 'gs near me' --make BMW --model R-1250-GS --location 33705 && motohunt-pp-cli watch run --agent

Save a search, then diff it over time for new listings and price drops.

Auth Setup

No authentication required.

Run motohunt-pp-cli doctor to verify setup.

Agent Mode

Add --agent to any command. Expands to: --json --compact --no-input --no-color --yes.

• Pipeable — JSON on stdout, errors on stderr

• Filterable — --select keeps a subset of fields. Dotted paths descend into nested structures; arrays traverse element-wise. Critical for keeping context small on verbose APIs:

  motohunt-pp-cli listings get mock-value --agent --select id,name,status
  

• Previewable — --dry-run shows the request without sending

• Offline-friendly — sync/search commands can use the local SQLite store when available

• Non-interactive — never prompts, every input is a flag

• Read-only — do not use this CLI for create, update, delete, publish, comment, upvote, invite, order, send, or other mutating requests

Response envelope

Commands that read from the local store or the API wrap output in a provenance envelope:

{
  "meta": {"source": "live" | "local", "synced_at": "...", "reason": "..."},
  "results": <data>
}

Parse .results for data and .meta.source to know whether it's live or local. A human-readable N results (live) summary is printed to stderr only when stdout is a terminal AND no machine-format flag (--json, --csv, --compact, --quiet, --plain, --select) is set — piped/agent consumers and explicit-format runs get pure JSON on stdout.

Agent Feedback

When you (or the agent) notice something off about this CLI, record it:

motohunt-pp-cli feedback "the --since flag is inclusive but docs say exclusive"
motohunt-pp-cli feedback --stdin < notes.txt
motohunt-pp-cli feedback list --json --limit 10

Entries are stored locally at ~/.local/share/motohunt-pp-cli/feedback.jsonl. They are never POSTed unless MOTOHUNT_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT is set AND either --send is passed or MOTOHUNT_FEEDBACK_AUTO_SEND=true. Default behavior is local-only.

Write what surprised you, not a bug report. Short, specific, one line: that is the part that compounds.

Output Delivery

Every command accepts --deliver <sink>. The output goes to the named sink in addition to (or instead of) stdout, so agents can route command results without hand-piping. Three sinks are supported:

Unknown schemes are refused with a structured error naming the supported set. Webhook failures return non-zero and log the URL + HTTP status on stderr.

Named Profiles

A profile is a saved set of flag values, reused across invocations. Use it when a scheduled agent calls the same command every run with the same configuration - HeyGen's "Beacon" pattern.

motohunt-pp-cli profile save briefing --json
motohunt-pp-cli --profile briefing listings get mock-value
motohunt-pp-cli profile list --json
motohunt-pp-cli profile show briefing
motohunt-pp-cli profile delete briefing --yes

Explicit flags always win over profile values; profile values win over defaults. agent-context lists all available profiles under available_profiles so introspecting agents discover them at runtime.

Exit Codes

Argument Parsing

Parse $ARGUMENTS:

1. Empty, help, or --help → show motohunt-pp-cli --help output
2. Starts with install → ends with mcp → MCP installation; otherwise → see Prerequisites above
3. Anything else → Direct Use (execute as CLI command with --agent)

MCP Server Installation

1. Install the MCP server:

   go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/other/motohunt/cmd/motohunt-pp-mcp@latest
   

2. Register with Claude Code:

   claude mcp add motohunt-pp-mcp -- motohunt-pp-mcp
   

3. Verify: claude mcp list

Direct Use

1. Check if installed: which motohunt-pp-cli If not found, offer to install (see Prerequisites at the top of this skill).
2. Match the user query to the best command from the Unique Capabilities and Command Reference above.
3. Execute with the --agent flag:

   motohunt-pp-cli <command> [subcommand] [args] --agent
   

4. If ambiguous, drill into subcommand help: motohunt-pp-cli <command> --help.
