Command line

Install the CLI

The agentcentral CLI is published on npm as @agentcentral/cli. Installing it gives you a local agentcentral command for scripts, cron jobs, diagnostics, and local MCP bridge setup.

Requirements

Node.js 20 or newer (this includes npm)
An API key from the dashboard Keys tab (starts with ac_live_)

1. Install with npm

Install the package globally so you can call agentcentral from any directory:

npm install -g @agentcentral/cli
agentcentral --version

What gets installed locally

Your machine gets the CLI command and, if you choose stored login, a local profile entry or keychain item. Amazon connection tokens and seller data remain in agentcentral. Each command uses your API key to request only what that key is allowed to access.

2. Or run it without installing

You can run the CLI straight from npm with npx, without a global install. This is handy for one-off commands and for cron or CI jobs that should always use the latest published version:

npx @agentcentral/cli --version
npx @agentcentral/cli tools list --format table

3. Verify the connection

Set your key and run doctor. It checks the CLI runtime, authentication, service reachability, and the account the key resolves to.

export AGENT_CENTRAL_API_KEY="ac_live_..."
agentcentral doctor

Next, set up auth and profiles or wire up the local MCP bridge.
