Velaro CLI

The Velaro CLI (@velaro/cli) is a free command-line tool available to all Velaro subscribers. It lets you manage your Velaro account from a terminal — set up bots, trigger knowledge base indexing, and manage API keys without opening a browser.

Install (requires Node.js 18+):

npm install -g @velaro/cli

Login:

velaro login

This opens your browser to a short-code page. Sign in with your Velaro account. Session is saved automatically — you won't need to log in again for months.

Who can use it

The CLI is available to all Velaro subscribers at no extra cost. Some commands are gated by subscription feature:

• bot setup — requires AI feature
• ingest — requires Knowledge Base feature
• mcp-key — requires MCP API Access feature

CLI vs MCP — what's the difference

Use the CLI when you want to script something, automate a deployment step, or manage your account without touching the admin UI.

Use MCP when you want Claude to query or update Velaro data automatically during a conversation — e.g. "pull up last week's conversations for site 42" and Claude does it.

They share the same underlying API but serve different use cases. Most power users will use both.
