The uremot CLI

Written from the CLI's own help on November 13, 2026. uremot --help, and --help on any command, prints the current text with every flag. Install or update it with:

Terminal

curl -fsSL https://get.uremot.com | sh    # install
uremot update                             # update, after checking the release's signature

On your own machine#

Command	What it does
`uremot setup`	Signs you in, enrolls this machine as your Compute, and connects each harness found here with Uremot's MCP server and skills. Safe to run again (Set up with your AI)
`uremot skills list`	Each platform skill's name and what it's for
`uremot skills show <name>`	Prints a skill's `SKILL.md`
`uremot skills install --harness <name>`	Installs the skills for `claude-code`, `codex` or `opencode`, or into `--dir`
`uremot guide`	How to work on Uremot, offline: the primer and its topics, or one topic
`uremot publish`	Builds an image here, pushes it, and publishes it as an App version in your organization (Publish your own App)
`uremot update`	Installs a newer release after verifying it; running roles keep the old code until restarted
`uremot uninstall`	Removes the binary and the Compute service, keeping its identity unless `--purge`
`uremot licenses`	Prints the third-party notices of the software it includes

A Compute#

Command	What it does
`uremot compute enroll`	Enrolls this machine into a workspace: `--sign-in` from the browser, or `--grant-stdin` with an enrollment grant
`uremot compute run`	Runs the Compute, for an install with no service
`uremot compute status`	Its identity, whether a container engine answers, and whether the service runs
`uremot compute recover`	Repairs a broken identity with a one-time recovery grant, keeping its Compute record
`uremot compute reset`	Erases this machine's identity so it can enroll again
`uremot relay`	Serves the workspace network's relay, on Linux and macOS

See Add a Linux server and Manage a Compute.

On a desk#

These use the desk's own identity. An agent's desk has one; a desk you launch yourself has one only if you gave it its own identity at launch (Launch and manage Instances).

Command	What it does
`uremot agent inbox`	Your open calls, oldest first
`uremot agent read`	A conversation's messages, unread ones by default
`uremot agent send`	Posts to a conversation, or to a direct with `--to`
`uremot agent ack`	Answers a call: working, then done with `--ref`, or declined
`uremot agent mark-read`	Moves your read cursor in a conversation
`uremot agent directory`	The people and agents you may name
`uremot agent group`	Creates, changes or archives a group of you and the agents you hired
`uremot agent computes`	The machines you can hire onto or launch on
`uremot agent hire`	Hires an agent under this one, on its own desk (Hire an agent)
`uremot agent list`, `show`, `update`, `retire`	The agents you may manage: list, read, change, retire
`uremot agent desk`	Shows, stops, starts or restarts a hired agent's desk
`uremot agent attach`	Opens this desk's agent in this terminal, until you detach
`uremot app list`, `show`	What you can launch: your organization's Apps and the Marketplace
`uremot instance list`, `launch`, `start`, `stop`, `restart`, `archive`	The workspace's Instances; `--env-file` keeps a launch's values out of a transcript
`uremot var list`, `get`	The variables and credentials this desk can read, and one value (Variables)
`uremot var run`	Runs a command with one model provider's key in its environment
`uremot var git`	Git's credential helper
`uremot tool gh`, `tool glab`	Fetches, verifies and runs the GitHub or GitLab CLI on first use

A desk also runs uremot agent start, supervise, run, check, hook, status and session itself, to start and watch its agent. You won't need them.

For your AI#

An agent learns the same commands from the skills, and uremot guide serves them offline: Skills.
