Project history and usage

Descope CLI is the command-line tool for managing Descope projects through Descope's management APIs. It sits in the identity and access-management tooling space, where package users often want repeatable project setup, export, import, and audit-log workflows.

Project history

The public descopecli release stream shows active 0.8.x releases beginning in 2024 and continuing into 2026. The README presents the tool as a Go-based command for project entities, settings snapshots, audit logs, JSON output, and CI scripting.

Adoption history

The official README points users to downloadable binaries, Debian and Ubuntu APT installation, Fedora and CentOS DNF installation, and source builds with Go. That packaging mix made the CLI usable both for local administrators and automated project-management scripts.

How it is used

Users provide a Descope project id and management key through environment variables or command arguments, then run entity commands for users, tenants, access keys, apps, audit logs, and project snapshots. JSON output is explicitly supported for scripts and CI/CD workflows.

Why package nerds care

For package-manager users, Descope CLI is a vendor CLI whose value is reproducible identity administration: it turns Descope console and management-API operations into installable, scriptable commands.

Timeline
