Description
Users who follow the Fetch guide's CLI tab run
thv run fetchand then the restrictedthv run --permission-profile ... fetchexample. If the first server still exists, even stopped (whichthv listhides by default), the second command fails withworkload with name 'fetch' already exists. Runningthv startdoesn't help, because it resumes the saved configuration and doesn't accept run flags. I reproduced this against the current CLI.This PR:
guides-cli/manage-mcp-servers.mdx. It explains thatthv startresumes the saved configuration, that stopped servers keep their name reserved, how to remove and re-run a server (or run a second instance with--name), and points tothv upgrade applyfor image upgrades.guides-cli/run-mcp-servers.mdx. One covers the "already exists" error. The other covers lookups that fail because a custom registry is configured, which was the root cause of the original customer report.thv rm fetchand a link to the new section.The upstream CLI fixes for these errors (stacklok/toolhive#6802, #6803, and #6804) were closed without merging, so these pages describe the CLI as it behaves today.
