The Influence CLI is currently a private repository application. From an installed repository checkout, run it with Bun. There is no public npm installation command for this package.

Set `PUBLISH_API_URL` to the trusted Influence origin and provide `PUBLISH_API_TOKEN` through your secret environment. Start with the connection profile and tool catalog:

```sh
export PUBLISH_API_URL="https://influence.so"
bun apps/agent-cli/src/index.ts profile
bun apps/agent-cli/src/index.ts tools:list
bun apps/agent-cli/src/index.ts tool:call --tool accountList --input-json '{}'
```

For JSON input, choose `--input-json` or `--input-file`. Call read-only tools with `tool:call --tool <name>`. Writes use `tool:prepare`, then `tool:confirm` with identical input, `--confirmation-capability` and `--idempotency-key`. Keep these values after an uncertain response; do not create a new preparation just to retry.

Use `media:upload --file <path> --content-type <mime> --client-key <stable-key>` for local media. Retry the same file and key after interruption. The CLI cannot inspect an image or provide human visual approval; open the returned review path in signed-in Influence. Follow the [HTTP API review and recovery rules](/developers/http-api).
