@ascendkit/cli

AscendKit CLI & MCP Server

The official CLI and Model Context Protocol server for AscendKit — the unified user-lifecycle platform for SaaS teams. Configure auth, transactional email, lifecycle journeys, surveys, webhooks, and analytics from one project and one public key, straight from your AI coding agent.

One user record across auth, email, surveys, and journeys — instead of stitching Clerk, Resend, Loops, and Typeform together.

Install

npm install -g @ascendkit/cli

This installs two binaries:

• ascendkit — the CLI (primary config tool, browser-based auth)
• ascendkit-mcp — the MCP server (for AI agents)

Use with an AI coding agent

Add the MCP server to your agent. It speaks stdio.

Claude Code

claude mcp add ascendkit -- npx -y -p @ascendkit/cli ascendkit-mcp

Cursor / Codex / other MCP clients — add to your MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ascendkit": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "-p", "@ascendkit/cli", "ascendkit-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Then tell your agent your project's public key (pk_dev_…, pk_beta_…, or pk_prod_…) and it will call ascendkit_configure to scope every other tool to that project.

Credentials use a browser auth flow handled by the CLI — secrets are never passed as CLI args or chat input.

What the tools cover

Domain	What you can do
Auth	Providers, OAuth, domain restrictions, ToS, user list/remove/reactivate
Email	Sending identities, domain verification (DKIM/SPF), DNS checks, suppressions, test sends
Journeys	Build lifecycle journeys: nodes, transitions, activate/pause, analytics
Surveys	NPS, CSAT, and custom surveys with distribution and analytics
Campaigns	Create, preview audience, send, and measure campaigns
Webhooks	Configure endpoints, event filtering, test delivery
Platform	Environments: create, list, update, promote
Import	Migrate users (e.g. from Clerk) and generate migration journeys
Analytics	Acquisition, conversion paths, attribution, top pages, summaries

CLI and MCP tools maintain feature parity — every MCP tool has an equivalent CLI command.
