A command-line interface for managing configuration projects, environments, typed keys, and team members across terminal, CI/CD scripts, and AI agents.

Overview

The BetterConfig homepage

BetterConfig CLI is a command-line tool that brings all dashboard functionality to the terminal. It allows users to create projects, define typed configuration keys, set values per environment, mint read tokens, and manage team members through a single command that can be executed directly, scripted, or handed to an AI agent.

The CLI talks to the same API as the BetterConfig dashboard and is signed in as the user, so every change respects their role, appears in history under their name, and is typically live in applications within a minute. It is published on npm and requires Node.js 20.12 or later.

The tool is designed for three main use cases: for individuals flipping values and bootstrapping projects without leaving their editor; for scripts and CI/CD pipelines with JSON output, stable exit codes, and no interactive prompts; and for AI agents with shell access that can discover commands, preview changes with dry-run mode, and integrate through the MCP server.

Capabilities

  • Interactive prompts for project and environment selection
  • Browser-based authentication flow
  • Read-only access mode for scripts and agents
  • JSON output for scripting and CI/CD
  • Dry-run mode to preview changes
  • Folder linking with .betterconfig.json

Buyer questions

How does authentication work for the CLI?

The betterconfig login command opens your browser to sign in and approve the CLI. The browser then hands the CLI a one-time code through a temporary callback on 127.0.0.1. You can also use --no-browser to print a URL instead, useful for SSH, containers, or AI agents.

Where are CLI credentials stored?

Credentials are saved to ~/.config/betterconfig/credentials.json (or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/betterconfig when set, and %APPDATA%\betterconfig on Windows). The file is readable only by you and can hold one login per API URL.

Can I use the CLI in read-only mode?

Yes, betterconfig login --read-only requests permission to read config only. This is suitable for agents and scripts that should look but never touch. You can check your access level with betterconfig whoami.
