frbit CLI

Manage apps, environments and deployments from a terminal, a script, a CI job or an agent.

There is a self-service dashboard. Some prefer the terminal. frbit is our command line interface to operate the platform. Deploy, read the build output, set a variable, list what is running.

Automation on a documented interface

Everything it does is a call to the public API. --json prints the response unchanged for whatever runs next.

AI Agent support

frbit setup agent detects Claude Code and Codex, registers the MCP server with each and installs the agent skills. It is the shortest path from a fresh machine to an agent that can operate the platform.

Install routes for macOS, Linux and Windows, and every command with its options:

Frequently asked

What does it need installed?
Nothing

Nothing - The CLI is a self-contained binary with no runtime dependency, which is what makes it fit a CI pipeline or a container as easily as a laptop. Install with the script, with Homebrew, with npm, or from the release archives — Windows included.

#
How does it authenticate in CI?
One environment variable

One environment variable - An interactive session signs in once and the credential lands in the operating-system credential store. A job passes `FRBIT_TOKEN` for a single process instead, which takes precedence over anything stored. Separate accounts are kept apart by profile.

#
Can it be used in a script?
That is what `--json` is for

That is what `--json` is for - Read commands print the API response unchanged with `--json`, ready for `jq`. Bear in mind that responses can carry environment-variable values and application log output, so CI logs deserve the same care as a terminal capture.

#
What does it have to do with agents?
It sets them up

It sets them up - One command detects the installed coding agents, registers the [MCP server](/features/mcp-server) with each and installs the latest [agent skills](/features/agent-skills). One command takes a fresh machine to an agent that can operate the platform.
