Claude Platform CLI is a command-line tool that lets users interact directly with the Anthropic Claude API from their terminal. It provides access to API resources through structured subcommands, making it useful for both interactive exploration and automated workflows. The CLI simplifies API requests by supporting typed flags, piped YAML or JSON input, and inline file references instead of manually writing complex JSON. Users can format, filter, and transform responses directly in the terminal using built-in output controls and GJSON queries. It also supports authentication through interactive login, API keys, profiles, and workspace switching for flexible development environments. Claude Platform CLI is especially valuable for developers, teams, and automation workflows that need efficient terminal-based access to Claude API resources.
