gumloop is the command line for Gumloop. Sign in once, then drive your agents, sessions, chat completions, MCP integrations, skills, and artifacts from the terminal. Every command has a --json mode so you can pipe results into scripts, cron jobs, or any other tool you already use.
Install
The CLI is the same package as the Python SDK. Install it however you prefer — for a global, isolated install (recommended) use uv or pipx:
Verify the install:
The Gumloop CLI runs on macOS and Linux (including WSL). It is not supported on native Windows because credential storage and the OAuth callback server rely on POSIX-only paths. The Python SDK itself works on Windows — import from gumloop import Gumloop directly.
Linux prerequisites
The CLI stores credentials in your OS keychain. macOS Keychain is always available, but on Linux you need one of:
sudo apt install gnome-keyring libsecret-1-0
sudo apt install kwalletmanager
gumloop login entirely and pass credentials per invocation via environment variables.
Sign in
Pick OAuth (browser) at the prompt. The CLI opens your browser, you click “Allow” on the Gumloop consent screen, and you’re signed in. Tokens are stored in your OS keychain and the CLI refreshes them for you when they expire.
