To run the daemon you can just run:
$> sudo /usr/sbin/ModemManager --debug

If you get the error about not being able to acquire the name, probably
you already have one running in the background; just make sure you don't
have one before launching it again:
$> sudo killall -9 ModemManager

Then, for mmcli, there's no real documentation apart from the --help-all
output...
