Install The CALL-E CLI

@call-e/cli ships the calle command. The CLI handles brokered browser login, private token caching, MCP client configuration, and LLM-friendly call workflow shortcuts.

Install

For a persistent local command:

npm install -g @call-e/cli

For one-off usage without a global install:

npx -y @call-e/cli --help

Authenticate

calle auth login

The command opens the brokered login URL, polls until authorization completes, exchanges the authorized session, and stores the token in a private local cache. The token is never printed to stdout.

For agent integrations that need to show the authorization link before continuing:

calle auth login --start-only --no-browser-open

Verify

calle --version
calle auth status
calle mcp tools

Plan A Call

Use command-specific help to see the parameters accepted by the installed CLI version, then create a plan:

calle call plan --help
calle call plan --to-phone +15551234567 --goal "Confirm the appointment"

Help follows the command hierarchy, so you can discover a group before choosing a subcommand:

calle --help
calle call --help
calle call plan --help

When an argument is missing, unknown, or belongs to another subcommand, the error output includes the corresponding help_command to run.

When embedding the CLI in a Node application on Windows, follow the shell-free child-process guidance.
