Description
Hi everyone 👋,
I am trying to deploy OpenFGA in our dev environment, however I am facing an issue. I have disabled HTTP and left only gRPC enabled. I am trying to use the CLI to connect to OpenFGA to import a store but I am only getting Unsupported Media Type error:
2025/10/21 11:19:10
HTTP/2.0 415 Unsupported Media Type
Content-Length: 0
Content-Type: application/grpc
Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2025 09:19:10 GMT
Grpc-Message: invalid gRPC request content-type "application/json"
Grpc-Status: 3
Does the CLI works with gRPC?
Thanks in advance.

Research direction
Start at the CLI entry point for importing a store and trace how it connects to OpenFGA. Reproduce the request with HTTP disabled and only gRPC enabled, then identify the client path responsible for sending application/json. Done means the import command can connect over gRPC and complete successfully without the 415 error.
