Use Context

Context in your terminal

The context command puts Context in your terminal. It’s the same agent you use in the browser, with the same tasks: what you type in the terminal shows up in the web app too, and the other way round.

With it you can:

  • Continue a task from the browser on your own computer, or start a new one.
  • Run tasks on your machine. Pair a laptop or a desktop, and tasks people send to it from the web run there, with its files and tools.
  • See what your agent connects to: the MCP servers a task gets.

Your organization may have given the command its own name. Settings › Terminal in the web app always shows the exact command for your workspace. These pages call it context.
