Tempo CLI

The tempo binary covers three core workflows:

• Tempo Wallet CLI (tempo wallet) — use Tempo Wallet from the terminal: balances, funding, access keys, service discovery, and agent-ready wallet operations
• tempo request — make paid HTTP requests with automatic MPP payment negotiation
• tempo node / tempo download — run and sync a Tempo node

Install the Tempo CLI

curl -fsSL https://tempo.xyz/install | bash

To update later, run tempoup.

Teach your agent to use Tempo

Paste this into your AI agent to set up Tempo Wallet CLI and start making paid requests:

claude -p "Read https://tempo.xyz/SKILL.md and set up tempo"

amp --execute "Read https://tempo.xyz/SKILL.md and set up tempo"

codex exec "Read https://tempo.xyz/SKILL.md and set up tempo"

All commands support --help for documentation and --describe for JSON command schemas. For scripts and agents, pass -t (--toon-output) to get compact, machine-readable output, and use --dry-run or --max-spend before paid calls.
