Tallyfy CLI

Automate Tallyfy from your terminal

The Tallyfy CLI is the official command line tool for Tallyfy. It lets you launch processes, complete tasks, export and import blueprints, and hold a software release until a person signs off. Everything works from a plain terminal or an automated pipeline, on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

It’s built for people who automate things: IT admins onboarding fifty employees from a spreadsheet, developers adding approval gates to a deployment pipeline, and operations teams who’d rather type one command than click through twenty screens.

The CLI is brand new (version 0.1.0), free, and open source under Apache 2.0. Source code and releases live at github.com/tallyfy/cli ↗^[1].

Install the CLI

Homebrew (macOS and Linux):

brew install tallyfy/tap/tallyfy

Direct download: grab the binary for your platform from the releases page ↗^[2], verify the checksum, and put it on your PATH. Version 0.1.0 binaries aren’t code-signed yet, so macOS may quarantine a direct download - the troubleshooting guide has the one-line fix.

Go developers can build from source:

go install github.com/tallyfy/cli/cmd/tallyfy@latest

Your first five minutes

1. Sign in. This opens your Tallyfy settings in a browser so you can copy your personal access token, then stores it securely:

tallyfy login

2. Pick the organization to work in:

tallyfy org list
tallyfy org use YOUR_ORG_ID

3. Confirm who you are, then look around:

tallyfy whoami
tallyfy blueprint list

That’s it. You’re signed in, pointed at the right organization, and listing your workflow templates. The authentication guide covers scripts and CI setups, and the command reference covers everything else the CLI can do.

One surface among four

Tallyfy gives you four ways to get work done, and they complement each other:

Surface	Driven by	Best for
Web app	People clicking	Daily work, tracking, building templates.
REST API	Your own software	Custom product integrations.
MCP server	AI assistants	Plain-English requests and small, reviewed changes.
CLI	Scripts and pipelines	Repeatable jobs, bulk work, CI/CD gates.

Not sure which fits your job? The decision guide compares all four in detail.

Telemetry is off by default

The CLI doesn’t collect usage analytics unless you opt in. Nothing about what you automate leaves your machine except the API calls you asked for.

What you can automate

• Launch one process, or hundreds from a CSV file, with bulk operations.
• Export blueprints to JSON and manage them like code with workflows as code.
• Pause a pipeline until someone approves, using CI/CD approval gates.
• Manage members, guests, groups, folders, and tags from the command reference.
• Control exactly what the CLI may do with configuration and permissions.

• Authenticate the CLI
• Bulk operations
• CI/CD approval gates
• CLI vs API vs MCP
• Command reference
• Configuration and permissions
• Troubleshoot the CLI
• Workflows as code
