@skalenetwork/cli

A command-line interface for interacting with the SKALE Network. Read contract data from SKALE chains and Ethereum mainnet.

Built for AI Agents — This CLI is designed to be used by AI agents and automation tools via MCP (Model Context Protocol) and standard CLI interfaces.

Installation

Global Install

# npm
npm install -g @skalenetwork/cli

# bun
bun install -g @skalenetwork/cli

One-time Usage (no install)

# Using npx
npx @skalenetwork/cli <command>

# Using bunx
bunx @skalenetwork/cli <command>

AI Agents

This CLI is optimized for AI agents and automated workflows:

Structured JSON output — All commands support JSON output for easy parsing
MCP compatible — Works with Model Context Protocol and agent frameworks
Deterministic responses — Consistent output format for reliable automation
No interactive prompts — All inputs via flags and arguments

Example: Agent Usage

# List chains as JSON for agent parsing
skale chains list --format json

# Read contract data
skale read --chain skale-base --address 0x... --abi ./abi.json --method balanceOf --args 0x...

Quick Start

# List available SKALE chains
skale chains list

# Read contract data
skale read configController version --chain skale-base

# Check gas prices
skale gas price --chain skale-base

# View address on explorer
skale explorer address 0x... --chain skale-base

Global Options

These options work with any command:
