# Make CLI

Use the Make CLI to manage Make resources from your terminal.

The Make CLI is a command-line interface (CLI) for interacting with Make. Use it to 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:
