This page is about command-line tools Notis installs and runs for you, in the cloud — the Datafast CLI, gh, ffmpeg, and friends. That runs on the Cloud Computer.It is not the Notis CLI, the npx @notis_ai/cli command your own coding agent runs on your own machine — see Notis CLI/MCP.
When the tool you need ships as a CLI rather than an API, Notis can install it on your Cloud Computer and use it from there. No local setup required.

​
How to install a CLI

The simplest way is to paste the link to the CLI provider’s install instructions and ask Notis to install it. Notis opens the page, follows the steps inside your Cloud Computer, signs in if the CLI asks for credentials, and confirms when it’s ready.
If a CLI has a one-liner install (brew install ..., curl ... | sh, npm i -g ...), you can paste that directly instead. Either way works — Notis figures out the rest.

​
Using a CLI once it’s installed

After install, just ask in plain language. Notis runs the right command for you.
You can mix CLI tools with your Composio integrations in the same request — for example, pull a metric with the Datafast CLI and post the result to Slack.

​
Persisted per user

CLIs installed on the Cloud Computer are persisted per user. Once a CLI is installed and signed in, it stays available across every future conversation, channel, and skill run on your account. You don’t reinstall it the next time you ask.

​
Examples of CLIs you can install

  • Analytics & product — Datafast, PostHog, Mixpanel
  • Payments — Stripe, Paddle, Lemon Squeezy
  • Databases & data — Supabase, psql, mysql, mongosh, BigQuery (bq)
  • Cloud — aws, gcloud, vercel, Fly.io (flyctl), Heroku
  • Code & releases — GitHub (gh), GitLab (glab)
  • Media & files — ffmpeg, yt-dlp, pandoc, ImageMagick
If a CLI exists on Linux, it can almost certainly run in your Cloud Computer.

​
Credentials

When a CLI needs to sign in, Notis will ask you for the API key, token, or OAuth URL it needs. Credentials live in the Cloud Computer alongside the CLI and are reused on the next request, so you only authenticate once.
Worth repeating: CLIs installed in the Cloud Computer are separate from the Notis CLI your local coding agent runs through NPX. These run inside your Notis workspace and are used by Notis on your behalf there; the Notis CLI runs on your own machine.
