The codegen CLI is your terminal interface to Codegen agents. Use it to view agents, pull their work, create new agents, and run Claude Code with full telemetry and monitoring.
It also wraps your local Claude Code, surfaces traces in the web UI for remote telemetry and analytics, and provides access to your Codegen integrations via MCP injection.
