CLI & Integrations

Exponential CLI

Manage actions, projects, and workspaces from the command line:

npm install -g exponential-cli
exponential auth login --token <your-jwt> --api-url https://www.exponential.im
exponential actions list
exponential actions create -n "My task" -p <project-id>

See exponential-cli for full docs.

Give your AI agent access to Exponential via OpenClaw:

npx clawhub install exponential

Your agent can then create tasks, manage kanban boards, and track projects through natural conversation.
