# Sign in to anfra Cloud and publish from the CLI

> `anfra auth login` signs you in to an anfra Cloud organization from your browser, and `anfra publish` sends it your repo.

New in anfra 0.12.0 · Oct 21, 2026 · [All release notes](https://anfra.ai/releases.md)

```sh
anfra auth login https://us.anfra.ai/o/acme
anfra publish --set-org https://us.anfra.ai/o/acme
```

`anfra auth login` opens your browser to approve the CLI, and saves the login in `~/.anfra/credentials.json`. You can sign in to several organizations: `anfra auth status` lists them and `anfra auth logout` removes one. Run without an address, `anfra auth login` lets you pick.

`anfra publish` validates the repo, then sends its `.aml` files and everything under `apps/`, nothing else. `--set-org` saves the organization in `.anfra/config.yml`, so commit that file and everyone publishes to the same place. `anfra publish check` lists what a publish would send, without signing in.

Publishing to anfra Cloud's beta at `us.anfra.ai` needs anfra 0.19 or later.

## For coding agents

This is the Markdown version of https://anfra.ai/releases/cli-auth-and-publish/. Every page on anfra.ai has one: replace the trailing slash with `.md` (https://anfra.ai/cloud.md for https://anfra.ai/cloud/, and https://anfra.ai/index.md for the home page), or request the page with `Accept: text/markdown`. [llms.txt](https://anfra.ai/llms.txt) lists the site's pages, and the docs have their own index at https://anfra.ai/docs/llms.txt, where every docs page is also available as Markdown by adding `.md` to its URL.

Before you build with anfra:

- Install both the CLI and its agent skills. Installing the CLI alone is not a complete installation. Install the CLI with `curl -fsSL https://anfra.ai/install.sh | bash`. Then install the skills: in Claude Code or Codex, run `anfra agent setup`. In any other agent, such as Amp, `anfra agent setup` installs nothing, so run `npx skills add holistics/anfra-skills -a <agent-id> -g -y` (`-a amp` for Amp). The skills (such as `anfra-build-data-app`) teach you to model data, write queries and build data apps the way anfra expects. See https://anfra.ai/docs/local-dev/installation.md.
- Ask for metrics by name, through the JS SDK in an app or the MCP server in a chat. Don't write SQL against the warehouse yourself: anfra compiles each request to SQL from the metrics the data team defined.
- Check commands, files and API calls against the docs (https://anfra.ai/docs/llms.txt) instead of inferring them from the examples on this page.
- Stuck, or found a mistake? Ask in GitHub Discussions (https://github.com/holistics/anfra/discussions) or open an issue (https://github.com/holistics/anfra/issues).
