Overview

Automate Lobby cloud agents through the authenticated CLI and MCP server.

Lobby’s Cloud Agents API is available through the lobby CLI and its local Model Context Protocol server. Both use the same account, repository, and conversation authorization as the product.

Quickstart

The CLI is currently installed from a Lobby checkout. With Node 24.18 or newer in the Node 24 line and npm 11:

npm ci
npm run build --workspace @coding/cli
npm link --workspace @coding/cli
lobby login --email you@company.com
lobby conversations list

Enter the emailed code when prompted. The final command returns the conversations the signed-in person can currently access, including the IDs used to scope later reads:

{
  "conversations": [
    {
      "id": "00000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000001",
      "title": "Document the API",
      "visibility": "shared",
      "repositoryId": 123456789,
      "state": "completed",
      "createdAt": "2026-09-14T08:00:00.000Z"
    }
  ]
}

Continue with Authentication, List Conversations, Get Project, Upload A Demo, or MCP Setup.

Supported surfaces

Surface	Use it for	Availability
CLI	Conversation discovery, authorized project reads, agent coordination, approvals, and demo videos	Source install
Local MCP	Project/task tools and demo uploads in MCP-capable clients	Source install, stdio
In-agent API	Project writes, file claims, scoped approvals, and uploads from an active Lobby conversation	Supplied to eligible Lobby agents

Lobby does not yet offer customer API keys, service accounts, a published CLI package, or a stable public REST/OpenAPI contract. Browser-session and short-lived agent-capability endpoints are internal transport for the supported CLI and MCP interfaces; do not call or depend on them directly.
