Anthropic has finally released a CLI for the Claude platform, called ant.

In simple terms: ant is a command-line tool that lets you interact directly with the Claude API in your terminal. It’s like if WeChat had a command-line version — you type something like "send message to Zhang San: See you tomorrow" in a black window, and it actually sends it.

ant does the same thing, except instead of sending WeChat messages, you use it to give instructions to Claude, manage AI Agents, upload files, and run automated tasks.

Login & Authentication — No Need to Manage API Keys Manually

After installation, run ant auth login. A browser window will automatically pop up for OAuth authorization. Select your organization and workspace, and the credentials are saved.
