CLI

Install the published Fonte CLI, sign in through the browser, and use it from your terminal or an agent with terminal access.

Install the released CLI

Use Node.js 20.9.0 or newer. This guide follows the published CLI 0.4.0 connection recipe.

SH
npm install -g @fonte-is/cli@0.4.0
fonte --version

Sign in

Sign in through Fonte’s official browser flow. Your agent can reuse the resulting session when it runs Fonte commands under the same operating-system account.

SH
fonte auth login

Complete sign-in before asking your agent to work with your account. Signing in does not approve an audience send.

Use it from your agent

An agent with terminal access can run Fonte commands directly. Start with the installed help to discover the commands and arguments available in this release.

SH
fonte --help

If your agent client supports local MCP servers over stdio, add fonte-mcp as the server command with no arguments in its normal connection settings. The CLI package supplies this executable; it reuses the session from fonte auth login.

For clients that support remote HTTP MCP and OAuth, you can connect through the hosted endpoint instead.

Verify workspace access

Through the MCP connection, have the agent call fonte_list_workspaces with an empty argument object and confirm the workspace by its returned name. Pass that workspace’s returned slug to workspace-scoped tools.

Use fonte_status for connection readiness. A workspace_required result means the workspace still needs to be resolved from the authenticated catalog. Local auth status alone does not prove that your account can access a workspace.

Use the current commands

Use the help shipped with your installed version rather than guessing command names or flags. The old broadcast authorize command from CLI 0.1.x is retired. Use the current release and the reviewed send flow.
