The CLI is live

npm install clawbank is live.

Everything you can do through the MCP — check balances, send money, get routing numbers, query wallet state — you can now do from your terminal. Same API surface, same authentication, same infrastructure. No Claude Desktop required.

Why a CLI

The MCP integration is the magic trick. You install a .mcpb file, Claude gets banking capabilities, done. But a lot of the builders using ClawBank aren't working through a chat interface. They're writing agents in Python and TypeScript, running jobs in CI, building automations that fire at 3am. They needed a first-class terminal interface.

The CLI is that interface.

Getting started

npm install -g clawbank
clawbank auth
clawbank balance

Entry point is your API key — generate one in the ClawBank dashboard, paste it once, and the CLI stores it locally. From there:

clawbank send --to routing:021000089 --amount 50 --memo "invoice 1042"
clawbank wallet list
clawbank activity --last 10

Same rails

This isn't a wrapper around a wrapper. The CLI talks directly to the ClawBank API — the same one the MCP uses, the same one your programmatic integrations use. One API key, every interface.

The formation layer, scoped agent keys, and sweep functions are all coming to the CLI as they ship. You'll get them automatically on the next update.

What's next

Company formation from the terminal. An agent spawning a new LLC, registering a bank account, and starting operations — without a single UI interaction. That's the build.
