You can how we use multiQC in our protocol for quality checking raw reads here
Usage: multiqc [OPTIONS] <analysis directory>
Main MultiQC run command for use with the click command line, complete
with all click function decorators. To make it easy to use MultiQC within
notebooks and other locations that don't need click, we simply pass the
parsed variables on to a vanilla python function.
