FIRSTBEAM CLI

Start where you work.

Open Firstbeam from your terminal. Use the same local engine accounts, project context and installed capability configuration.

Install on Windows

The desktop installer includes the CLI. For CLI-only installation, run the npm command below on Windows x64 with Node.js 20+. The launcher verifies the bundled executable. A PowerShell installer is also available on the download page.

npm install -g https://firstbeam.xyz/cli/package.tgz
firstbeam
Install the CLI

Chat, run, resume

Start an interactive launcher, open a provider conversation, or run a single task in your project. Your engine supplies the execution and its permission controls.

firstbeam chat
firstbeam run "Review the current changes"
firstbeam mcp list --json

What is available today

CLI discovery, local provider conversations and task execution are available. Desktop feed synchronization and CLI team orchestration are planned; they are not part of the current CLI release.
