Temporal CLI

The Temporal CLI (temporal) provides direct access to a Temporal Service via the terminal. Use it to manage, monitor, and debug Temporal applications, plus run an embedded development service when you need fast local feedback.

In addition, we provide and maintain an official extension for the Temporal CLI you can use to interact with Temporal Cloud. Use the extension to manage your Temporal Cloud Namespaces, Workflows, and perform other operational and administrative tasks.
