We've just released the Flare CLI: a command-line tool that lets you manage your errors, projects, and performance data without ever leaving your terminal.
You can install it globally via Composer:
composer global require flareapp/flare-cli
After authenticating with your API token, you get access to all the things you'd normally do in the Flare dashboard: triaging and resolving errors, viewing occurrence details, browsing performance metrics for your routes, jobs, queries, and more.
flare errors:list
flare errors:show {id}
flare errors:resolve {id}
flare performance:routes
The CLI was built almost entirely from our OpenAPI specification using our latest package: spatie/laravel-openapi-cli. My colleague Freek share more about that process in a separate post on his blog. The result is a tool that stays in sync with our API automatically.
One thing we're especially excited about: the CLI also ships with a skill for AI coding agents. That means tools like Claude Code can access your Flare data directly, helping you investigate and fix errors without switching context. We'll dive deeper into that in an upcoming post.
The Flare CLI is available now. Give it a spin and let us know what you think.

Why we removed AI solutions from Flare
AI generated solutions are dead, long live AI generated solutions! We removed the old one-shot fixes from a model that could only see the stack trace. It simply couldn't compete with modern agentic AI. In their place, Flare works with the agentic AI tools you already use: an MCP server that handles real triage, a CLI with an agent skill, quick Copy for AI prompts in the UI and docs served as markdown. Hosted agents are in the works too.

Flare now uses OAuth for MCP, the CLI, and API
Connect MCP clients like Claude and Cursor to Flare by logging in from your browser, no more copying API tokens. Every connection gets its own permissions, so you can give your AI read-only access to a single project. The CLI signs in the same way, and new personal access tokens with scopes and expiry cover scripts and CI.
