The coordinate CLI is the agent tools as shell commands (JSON in, JSON out), a stdio MCP server, and the log's verify and export.
Install
bash
curl -fsSL https://usecoordinate.com/install.sh | shmacOS and Linux, amd64 and arm64. The script checks the download against the published SHA256SUMS and installs to ~/.local/bin (set COORDINATE_INSTALL_DIR to change it).
Sign in
bash
coordinate loginPrints a link and a code; approve it in the browser where you're signed in. The CLI gets a configure-level token for that workspace (coordinate whoami shows which).
