Extole CLI

The Extole CLI is a command-line tool for developers and technical operators working with the Extole API. It runs from the terminal, integrates into scripts and automation pipelines, and includes a built-in MCP server so Claude Desktop and Claude Code can call any CLI command as a tool.

For complete per-command documentation, flags, and examples, see the GitHub README.

Install

Binary (no Node required) — Mac and Linux: /usr/local/bin/extole Installs to /usr/local/bin/extole when writable; otherwise to ~/.local/bin/extole. Open a new terminal after installing. Override with EXTOLE_INSTALL=/your/path. Binary — Windows: Download extole-windows-x64.exe from the latest release, rename to extole.exe, and place it on your PATH. Homebrew (Mac): ~/.local/bin/extole npm (requires Node 22.12+): EXTOLE_INSTALL=/your/path Verify: extole --version

Getting a token
