The CLI is how agents drive Dench from a terminal. One sign-in, then CRM, chat, tools, memory, files, and routines.
The package is @dench.com/cli and the binary is dench. The -p flag is required with npx because the bin name differs from the package name.

​
Authentication

Every command, grouped by domain.

​
When the CLI can’t run

Use the HTTP API instead, it mirrors every server-backed command.

API overview

Same auth, interactive playground, one endpoint per command.

​
Saved setup is separate from memory

Use dench env for explicitly saved scripts, packages and configuration, and dench secrets for encrypted workspace credentials. Facts and preferences stay in dench memory; a note is not proof that a key or dependency has been saved. See Reusable environments and the generated CLI index.
