## Examples

**CLI**

```bash
hanzo mq stream consumer rm <stream> <name>
```

**SDK**

**.ts**

```ts
import { Configuration, MqApi } from 'hanzoai';

const api = new MqApi(new Configuration({ accessToken: process.env.HANZO_API_KEY }));
const { data } = await api.deleteMqStreamByStreamConsumerByName({ stream: 'stream', name: 'name' });
```

**.py**

```python
from hanzoai.cloud import ApiClient, Configuration
from hanzoai.cloud.api import MqApi

client = ApiClient(Configuration(access_token=os.environ["HANZO_API_KEY"]))
result = MqApi(client).delete_mq_stream_by_stream_consumer_by_name(stream='stream', name='name')
```

**.go**

```go
cfg := hanzoai.NewConfiguration()
cfg.AddDefaultHeader("Authorization", "Bearer "+os.Getenv("HANZO_API_KEY"))
client := hanzoai.NewAPIClient(cfg)

resp, _, err := client.MqAPI.DeleteMqStreamByStreamConsumerByName(context.Background()).Execute()
if err != nil {
	return err
}
```

**.rs**

```rust
use hanzo_client::apis::{configuration::Configuration, mq_api};

let mut cfg = Configuration::new();
cfg.bearer_access_token = std::env::var("HANZO_API_KEY").ok();

let result = mq_api::delete_mq_stream_by_stream_consumer_by_name(&cfg, Default::default()).await?;
```

**.java**

```java
import ai.hanzo.cloud.ApiClient;
import ai.hanzo.cloud.api.MqApi;

ApiClient client = new ApiClient();
client.setBearerToken(System.getenv("HANZO_API_KEY"));

var result = new MqApi(client).deleteMqStreamByStreamConsumerByName();
```

**HTTP**

```bash
curl -X DELETE https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/mq/stream/<stream>/consumer/<name> \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY"
```

**MCP**

MCP reaches **mq** through the `mq` tool, which names its 15 operations with its own verbs — this one among them, under a name only MCP declares. `describe` explains any of them:

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
       "jsonrpc": "2.0",
       "id": 1,
       "method": "tools/call",
       "params": {
         "name": "describe",
         "arguments": {
           "op": "get_mq_health"
         }
       }
     }'
```
