# whoami Command - Medusa Cloud CLI Reference

Show the authenticated user, the active organization, project, and environment, and CLI metadata. Use this command to verify which account and context the CLI is currently using.

```bash
mcloud whoami
```

Returns the following information:

### Plaintext

```bash
CLI version:    1.0.0
Auth:           jwt  expires 2026-05-01 09:00
User:           Alice Example <alice@example.com> (eu_01ABC)
API URL:        https://api.prod.medusajs.cloud
Dashboard URL:  https://cloud.medusajs.com

Organization:   My Organization (org_123)
Project:        my-store (proj_01ABC)
Environment:    production (projenv_01XYZ)
```

### JSON (--json)

```json
{
  "cli_version": "1.0.0",
  "auth": {
    "kind": "jwt",
    "expires_at": "2026-05-01T09:00:00.000Z"
  },
  "user": {
    "id": "eu_01ABC",
    "email": "alice@example.com",
    "first_name": "Alice",
    "last_name": "Example"
  },
  "api_url": "https://api.prod.medusajs.cloud",
  "dashboard_url": "https://cloud.medusajs.com",
  "organization": {
    "value": "org_123",
    "id": "org_123",
    "name": "My Organization"
  },
  "project": {
    "value": "my-store",
    "id": "proj_01ABC",
    "handle": "my-store"
  },
  "environment": {
    "value": "production",
    "id": "projenv_01XYZ",
    "handle": "production"
  }
}
```

The `Auth` line shows whether the CLI is using a JWT (browser login) or an access key, and when the JWT expires (when applicable).

## Options

|Option|Description|Default|
|---|---|---|---|---|
|\`--json\`|Print the result as JSON instead of formatted text. Useful for piping the active context into scripts.|\`false\`|

***

## Verify Authentication in a Script

Pipe `whoami --json` into `jq` to assert that the CLI is authenticated and that the active context is set before running other commands:

```bash
mcloud whoami --json | jq -e '.auth.kind != "none" and .organization.id != null'
```

The command exits with a non-zero status if either condition is unmet, which is useful as a guard step in CI/CD pipelines.

***

## Switch the Active Context

To change the active organization, project, or environment, use [`mcloud use`](https://docs.medusajs.com/cli/commands/use).

To switch accounts, use [`mcloud logout`](https://docs.medusajs.com/cli/commands/logout) followed by [`mcloud login`](https://docs.medusajs.com/cli/commands/login).
