Dench CLI overview - Dench Docs

The CLI is how agents drive Dench from a terminal. One sign-in, then CRM, chat, tools, memory, files, and routines.

npx -y -p @dench.com/cli dench <command>

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

Saves a session to ~/.dench/config.json after browser approval.

dench signin --kind cursor --name "Cursor Agent - Project"

Use a workspace API key, no browser needed.

export DENCH_API_KEY="<workspace key>"

dench context --json · dench status --mine --json

dench crm objects list · dench crm entries list task

dench apps · dench tool run <slug> --args '{…}'

dench memory search · dench memory save

Every command, grouped by domain.

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

Same auth, interactive playground, one endpoint per command.
