Installing the CLI

The TalkBridge CLI (talkbridge) is a tool for working with your consultation channels from the terminal — it provides outbound sending, consultation history lookup, channel settings, and an outbound Gateway that relays inbound traffic, all in one package.

All you need is Node.js 18+.

npm install -g @blumn-ai/talkbridge-cli

talkbridge --version
talkbridge --help

Installation requires no authentication — the platform-specific binary is installed alongside as an npm optionalDependency, with no separate download or token.

Settings and credentials are stored at ~/.talkbridge/config.json with user-only permissions.

Next steps​

After installing, you need to register a key. Two ways:

  • talkbridge login — browser OAuth pairing (recommended; choose a brand in TalkBridge Center → enter the code)
  • talkbridge setup — interactive TUI wizard or direct secret key registration

→ Setup & Login

To call the CLI from a script or server, run the binary directly rather than the .cmd shim → Calling the CLI from a program.
