Install Operalta, log in, and run it from the terminal or as an MCP server.

Install

  • Requires Node 18+. The installer drops operalta into ~/.local/bin.
curl -fsSL https://www.operalta.ai/install.sh | sh
source ~/.zshrc
operalta --version

Authenticate

  • operalta login — browser OAuth flow.
  • operalta status — confirm the session.
  • OPERALTA_API_KEY=op_... — bypass the login flow entirely.
  • Company data commands (reports, rooms, lists/matrices) need a company-scoped key with the matching read scope (reports:read, rooms:read, lists:read). Activate them under Settings → Developer → API Keys (the "MCP Read" pack covers all three).
  • No-company users can create personal keys from Personal Settings → Developer and run network-scoped workflows with OPERALTA_NETWORK_ID.
  • operalta rooms currently works with company Rooms only. Setting OPERALTA_NETWORK_ID does not open Community Rooms or their artifacts.
