Installation

Install the CLI

Public npm Package

npm install -g @imbrace/cli

From Source

Clone the repository and run the install script:

git clone https://github.com/imbraceltd/imbrace-cli.git
cd imbrace-cli
./install.sh

install.sh runs bun install (or npm install if Bun is not available), npm run build, npm link, then symlinks imbrace into /opt/homebrew/bin (Apple Silicon) or /usr/local/bin (Intel).

Manual Build

cd cli
npm install
npm run build
npm link

Authentication

Resource commands (ai-agent, data-board, document-ai, guardrail, orchestrator, workflow) auto-prompt login if not authenticated for the resolved profile. Auth and profile management commands (login, logout, whoami, docs, profile) do not auto-prompt.

Credentials and environment settings are stored in profiles. Resolution order: --profile flag > IMBRACE_PROFILE env var > active_profile config > "default".

Pass no flags to be prompted interactively:

imbrace login

You will be asked to choose a method (API Key or Email + Password) and optionally set a profile name and SDK environment.

Recommended for CI/CD and coding agents:

imbrace login --api-key api_xxx...
imbrace login --api-key api_xxx... --profile work
imbrace login --api-key api_xxx... --profile dev --env sandbox --org-id org_xxx

Additional flags: --base-url, --timeout, --check-health, --services.

imbrace login --email user@example.com --password mypass
imbrace login --email user@example.com --password mypass --profile personal

imbrace whoami
imbrace whoami --json
imbrace whoami --profile work

Logout

Clear credentials for the active (or named) profile:

imbrace logout
imbrace logout --profile work
