Rocketlane CLI

A command-line tool for Rocketlane — Professional Services Automation from the terminal.

Built for the Solution Engineering team to manage projects, tasks, time tracking, and more — directly from the terminal or through Claude Code.

Install

Homebrew (recommended)

brew tap trouze/tap
brew install rocketlane-cli

pip

pip install rocketlane-cli

From source

git clone https://github.com/trouze/rocketlane-cli.git
cd rocketlane-cli
pip install -e .

2. Connect Your Instance

Run any command and the first-run setup will prompt you:

rocketlane status

You'll be asked for:

• Instance URL — e.g. acme.rocketlane.com (auto-generates short name acme)
• API Key — from Rocketlane: Settings > API > Create API key

The key is validated and saved to ~/.rocketlane/config.json (permissions 600).

3. Start Using It

rocketlane projects list
rocketlane tasks list --project-id 5000000023535
rocketlane time create --task-id 501 --hours 2.5 --date 2026-03-24

Multi-Instance Support

Work across multiple Rocketlane accounts without re-authenticating.

# Add another instance
rocketlane add-instance
# Prompts for URL + API key, validates, saves, sets as active

# List all instances (● = active)
rocketlane instances

# Switch active instance (interactive menu)
rocketlane switch

# Use a specific instance for one command
rocketlane -i acme projects list

# Remove an instance
rocketlane remove-instance old-instance --yes

Using with Claude Code

See CLAUDE_CODE_SETUP.md for full instructions on setting up the Rocketlane CLI as a Claude Code skill so you can interact with Rocketlane via natural language.

Quick preview — once set up, just ask:

"List my Rocketlane projects" "Switch to the acme instance and show tasks" "Create a project for Acme Corp with a kickoff task due next Monday" "Log 2 hours against task 501"
