thv export

Export a workload's run configuration to a file

Synopsis

Export a workload's run configuration to a file for sharing or backup.

The exported configuration can be used with 'thv run --from-config ' to recreate the same workload with identical settings.

You can export in different formats:

• json: Export as RunConfig JSON (default, can be used with 'thv run --from-config')
• k8s: Export as Kubernetes MCPServer resource YAML

Examples:

# Export a workload configuration to a JSON file
thv export my-server ./my-server-config.json

# Export as Kubernetes MCPServer resource
thv export my-server ./my-server.yaml --format k8s

# Export to a specific directory
thv export github-mcp /tmp/configs/github-config.json

thv export <workload name> <path> [flags]

Options

      --format string   Export format: json or k8s (default "json")
  -h, --help            help for export

Options inherited from parent commands
