# CLI overview

> Use @useveil/cli to drive offramps, manage wallets, and inspect transactions from a terminal or CI pipeline.

The Veil CLI (`@useveil/cli`) gives script authors and terminal-first developers the same control as the dashboard, accessible from the command line or a CI environment.

## What you can do

* Install and pair your machine once with `veil login`
* Create and inspect wallets on Ethereum, Base, and Polygon
* Add bank accounts interactively
* List transactions with filters
* Quote and execute offramps, with an email confirmation step when your settings require one
* Manage `@username` handles
* Configure and remove auto-settle rules

## How it relates to other surfaces

| Surface       | Best for                                        |
| ------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| **CLI**       | Scripts, CI pipelines, terminal-first workflows |
| **Dashboard** | Browser-based management, Go-Live flow          |
| **MCP**       | Driving offramps from inside Claude or Cursor   |

## Modes

The CLI uses the same sandbox and production modes as the rest of Veil. You start in sandbox by default. Use `veil mode live` to switch, or pass `--live` on any command for a one-shot override without changing the persisted mode.

See [Sandbox vs. production](/concepts/sandbox-vs-production) for the full picture.
