Auth

Login from the Terminal

Login uses your Swylink account credentials in the terminal, stores a local session file, and keeps the password out of subsequent CLI commands.

Selected IDE

Cursor

.cursor/mcp.json

Swylink keeps the bridge explicit for this IDE by rendering --ide cursor and the correct MCP config path everywhere in the docs.

Section

Start the login flow

Point the CLI at your Swylink API base URL. The command will prompt for email and password interactively.

CLI

npx @swylink/cli auth login --api-base-url https://api.swylink.com

Expected output

Email
Password
Swylink CLI session stored.

Section

Use `whoami` to confirm the active account and `logout` to wipe the stored session while keeping only public runtime config.

CLI

Show current session

npx @swylink/cli auth whoami --api-base-url https://api.swylink.com

CLI

Logout

npx @swylink/cli auth logout

Continue

Move through the full CLI path from auth to IDE connection, or jump back to the start if you are documenting onboarding for a new user.
