CLI — Common Questions

How do I install the Contextium CLI?

Run npm install -g @contextium/cli, then contextium login to authenticate. From there you can list workspaces, manage libraries and files, and load workflows straight from the terminal.

What can I do with the CLI?

Everything content-shaped: create and edit files in context libraries, search your workspace, manage workflows, agents, and skills, sync a local cache, and pull a workspace summary with contextium summary.

How does the CLI relate to the MCP server?

The CLI is for you; MCP is for your AI tools. They share the same workspace and auth. Use the CLI to manage context by hand, and connect Claude, Cursor, or Copilot over MCP so their sessions load it automatically.

Is the CLI free?

Yes — the CLI is included in all Contextium plans, including the free individual plan.

Which platforms does it support?

Anywhere Node.js runs: macOS, Linux, and Windows. It is published to npm as @contextium/cli.
