install-cli

@intercom Updated 2026-10-23

Install and authenticate the Intercom CLI (`@intercom/cli`) — a command-line tool for managing Intercom workspaces, designed for both human operators and AI agents. Use when the user asks to "install the Intercom CLI", "set up the intercom command", "install @intercom/cli", or wants shell access to their Intercom workspace.

Install

With your agent

Install OMGSkills skill "intercom/claude-plugin-external:skills/install-cli" into this agent's normal skills directory: call the OMGSkills MCP get_install_plan tool for your agent and run the script it returns (it installs only the pinned commit and verifies SKILL.md), and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.

Manual command

git clone https://github.com/intercom/claude-plugin-external /tmp/claude-plugin-external && ln -s /tmp/claude-plugin-external/skills/install-cli ~/.claude/skills/install-cli

From README

Intercom CLI the @intercom/cli package globally and authenticate it against the user's workspace. The CLI complements this plugin: the plugin is for in-conversation MCP , while the CLI is for shell access, scripting, and workspace provisioning. Prerequisites Before installing, verify the user has: Node.js >= 20.6.0 — Run node --version to check. If missing or older, direct them to via nodejs.org or their version manager (nvm, fnm, volta). npm — Comes bundled with Node. If node --version returns /bin is on $PATH | Step 4 (Optional): Shell Completions Recommend this only if the user uses intercom interactively in their shell. Restart the shell or source the rc file for completions to take effect. Quick Reference After , the user can run any of these. Don't dump this whole list at them — surface relevant commands based on their goal.
