# Medusa Cloud CLI

In this guide, you'll learn about the Medusa Cloud CLI, how to install it, and how to use it to manage your Cloud resources from the terminal.

If you're an AI agent, or you want to manage Cloud resources through an AI agent, see [Cloud CLI for AI Agents](https://docs.medusajs.com/cli/agents) instead.

## What is the Medusa Cloud CLI?

The Medusa Cloud CLI (`mcloud`) is a command-line tool for managing your Cloud resources (organizations, projects, environments, logs, and more) directly from your terminal. It provides the same capabilities as the Cloud dashboard but in a scriptable, AI-friendly form.

Use the CLI when you want to:

- Debug and manage your Cloud resources with AI-agents like Claude Code.
- Automate tasks in CI/CD pipelines, such as fetching logs or managing environments.
- Integrate Cloud management into your existing terminal workflows.

***

## Install the Cloud CLI

### Prerequisites

- [Node.js v22+](https://nodejs.org/en/download)

Install the CLI globally using npm or your preferred package manager:

```bash npm2yarn
npm install @medusajs/mcloud -g
```

After installation, verify it is available by checking its version:

```bash
mcloud --version
```

***

## Authenticate

Before running any command that accesses Cloud resources, authenticate with your Cloud account:

```bash
mcloud login
```

This opens a browser window where you complete the login flow. Your credentials are stored locally and reused on subsequent commands.

### Non-Interactive Authentication

For CI/CD pipelines and automated environments where a browser is not available, either set the `MCLOUD_TOKEN` environment variable to your access key or pass the key directly to `mcloud login`:

```bash
# Method 1: Set environment variable
export MCLOUD_TOKEN=sk_123ABC

# Method 2: pass directly to login command
mcloud login --token sk_123ABC
```

See the [login command](https://docs.medusajs.com/cli/commands/login) for more details on access keys and non-interactive authentication.

### Sign Up

If you don't have a Cloud account yet, sign up directly from the CLI:

```bash
mcloud signup
```

This will open a browser window where you can create your account. After signing up, return to the terminal and run `mcloud login` to authenticate.

***

## Set the Active Context

Most commands operate on a specific organization, project, and environment.

Instead of passing `--organization`, `--project`, and `--environment` on every command, use [`mcloud use`](https://docs.medusajs.com/cli/commands/use) to persist your selection in a context configuration file. The CLI reads this context for every command that accepts these flags.

```bash
# Interactive: select organization, project, and environment from prompts
mcloud use

# Non-interactive: pass values directly
mcloud use --organization org_123 --project my-store --environment production
```

Once set, you can omit these flags from subsequent commands:

```bash
mcloud environments list
mcloud logs --follow
mcloud variables list
```

To check the current active context, run `mcloud whoami`:

```bash
mcloud whoami
```

See [`mcloud whoami`](https://docs.medusajs.com/cli/commands/whoami) and [`mcloud use`](https://docs.medusajs.com/cli/commands/use) for more details.

***

## JSON Output

Most commands accept a `--json` flag that prints the result as machine-readable
JSON instead of formatted text. Use this when piping output to other tools:

```bash
mcloud organizations list --json
```
