Your workspace, at the command line
A standalone command-line app that drives the same operations Ceum exposes over MCP — for the work that's faster typed than clicked, and the automation you'd rather script than repeat.
Install
Requires Node.js 22 or newer. Install it globally to get the ceum command:
npm install -g @ceum/cli
Or run it once, without installing:
npx @ceum/cli --help
Set it up
From install to your first command in under a minute.
Install the CLI
Install the package globally with npm (Node.js 22 or newer).
npm install -g @ceum/cli
Get an MCP token
Create a token under Settings → Integrations. The CLI authenticates with it — see the pricing page for which plans include MCP.
Open Settings → IntegrationsSign in
Run the login command and paste your token when prompted. It is stored securely in your config.
ceum auth login
Verify
Check that you are connected — this prints the active profile and endpoint.
ceum auth status
Basic usage
Every resource follows the same noun-first grammar, with table, JSON, or CSV output ready to pipe.
List the tasks in progress and pull out their names with jq:
ceum tasks list --status in-progress -o json | jq '.data[].name'
Create a task in one line:
ceum tasks create --name "Ship v1" --status todo
Export every transaction to CSV:
ceum transactions list --all -o csv > all-transactions.csv
Run headless in CI with a token from the environment:
CEUM_TOKEN=ceum_… ceum invoices list
What it looks like
Real output from a Ceum workspace: aligned tables on a terminal, and a command list derived from what your token can do.
Your workspace, from the prompt
The same workspace as the web and mobile apps, driven by a predictable command grammar.
Noun-first commands
A predictable resource-first grammar — tasks list, time-sessions start, invoices create — for driving your workspace.
Made for scripts
Run commands non-interactively and wire Ceum into the automation you already have.
Output your way
Get results as a table, JSON, or CSV, ready to pipe into the next tool.
Bulk operations
Act on many records at once instead of clicking through them one by one.
MCP under the hood
The CLI is a thin client over the Model Context Protocol Ceum exposes to external tools.
Assistant-ready
The same operations power the in-app assistant, so scripting and asking share one surface.
Full workspace reach
Clients, projects, tasks, time, transactions, and invoices — all reachable from the prompt.
Documented commands
Every command carries built-in help, with a full reference in the Knowledge Base.
Automate the parts you repeat
Bring Ceum into your terminal and scripts, alongside the web and mobile apps that share the same workspace.
