.SH "DESCRIPTION"
The Chef Server provides a central point for the distribution of Cookbooks, management and authentication of Nodes, and the use of Search\. It provides a REST API\.
.
.P
The API service is what clients use to interact with the server to manage node configuration in Chef\. By default, the service is started on port 4000 as a Merb application slice running with the thin server adapter\.
.
.P
The two methods of interaction with the API for humans are the command\-line tool Knife and the Management Console\. The Chef Client library is used for interacting with the API for client nodes\.
