+## Programmatically
+
+You can also use `aedes-cli` programmatically:
+
+```js
+const { start, adduser, rmuser } = require('aedes-cli')
+
+start({
+  protos: ['tcp'],
+})
+```
+
 ## Docker
 
 `aedes-cli` is available on [Docker-Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/moscajs/aedes) for `amd64, arm64v8, arm32v6, arm32v7, i386` archs. If you want to use a local `credentials.json` file and/or a custom config file to pass using `--config` option you have to use docker volumes and map the local folder containing those files to a folder inside the container.
