Command reference
This page lists the current developer-platform CLI surface from sumelabs/cli.
This page intentionally does not include older consumer-product commands that
are not supported. Image/Video/Music generators do not exist as CLI
subcommands at this time.
Use these commands to find the exact schemas at runtime:
Auth and account
sume me and sume account get both read account context for the configured
key.
Read commands
sume models list stays as a deprecated alias for sume catalog list.
Jobs helpers
Assets
Asset registration and upload paths are write-gated. When first-party asset ids are not necessary, it is better to use public HTTPS URLs in generation payloads. Refer to Jobs and media.
Write and paid generation (Avatar)
Each write command must have explicit confirmation. At this time, the paid Avatar generators are the only first-class path to submit a generation in the CLI.
When provider execution can spend credits, use --confirm-paid. For non-paid
writes such as job cancellation or asset registration, use --confirm-submit.
Before you submit, make sure that the estimated length of the avatar-video
script is 4-60 seconds inclusive. If you do not send Avatar Video quality,
the default is plus.
The CLI also has batch helpers in sume avatars batch and
sume avatar-videos batch (plan / create / watch / result against local state
files). To examine them, use sume avatars batch --help.
Not available as CLI generators
The CLI does not ship sume image, sume video, sume music, or similar
subcommands. For these families, use the HTTP API:
| Family | Guide |
|---|---|
| Image 1.0 | Image |
| Video 1.0 | Video |
| Music 1.0 | Music |
After you use the API to submit those jobs, you can still recover them. Use
sume jobs status / sume jobs result / sume jobs download.
MCP (CLI vs hosted)
In current releases, local sume mcp reports coming_soon / launched: false.
sume mcp install is not available at this time.
For Cursor, Claude, and other remote MCP clients, use the
hosted MCP endpoint at https://mcp.sume.com/mcp. That endpoint is a
surface that is separate from the local CLI command.
Machine-readable output
--agent redacts URL-like and sensitive account/workspace fields where the CLI
supports agent-safe output.
