pols login

Store an API key (read from stdin, or POLS_API_KEY)

Store an API key for later commands. The key is read from POLS_API_KEY or from the first line of stdin, checked against the API, and saved in the user config directory (mode 0600). Keys come from your org admin, or from an existing key with the API. There is deliberately no --api-key flag: a key on the command line ends up in shell history.

On a terminal, login then offers to install the pols agent skill for Claude Code and to register pols mcp with it (claude mcp add --scope user), where either is missing. The registration holds no key: pols mcp reads the stored one.

Usage

pols login [flags]

Examples

echo "$KEY" | pols login
pols login --api-url http://localhost:8080 < key.txt

Flags

-h, --help   help for login

The global flags work with this command too.
