# Make CLI

The Make CLI is a command-line interface (CLI) for interacting with Make. Build, test, and manage Make resources without opening a browser.

It's ideal for developers and advanced users who need to:

* Manage scenarios, connections, data stores, and webhooks from the command line
* Automate scenario activation and updates in CI/CD pipelines
* Give AI agents access to Make tools using fewer tokens than MCP

To get started, install and authenticate the Make CLI from your terminal:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://developers.make.com/make-cli/make-cli.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
