# CLI

The `pipekit` CLI is the command-line surface for Pipekit. Everything the UI does is also doable from the CLI: submit Workflows, list Runs, stop or restart a Run, manage [CronWorkflows](/reference/cli/cron-workflows.md), import from an Argo Workflow Archive.

The CLI also hosts the [MCP Server](/reference/cli/mcp.md) that lets LLM clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, Goose) call Pipekit on your behalf.
