Morgen CLI

Morgen calendar & tasks API CLI — unified access to calendars, events, tasks, and tags across connected providers

Printed by @nickscarabosio (Nick Scarabosio).

Quick Start

1. Install

See Install above.

2. Set Up Credentials

Get your API key from your API provider's developer portal. The key typically looks like a long alphanumeric string.

export MORGEN_API_KEY="<paste-your-key>"

You can also persist this in your config file at ~/.config/morgen/config.toml.

3. Verify Setup

morgen-pp-cli doctor

This checks your configuration and credentials.

4. Try Your First Command

morgen-pp-cli calendars list

Unique Features

These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API.

Cross-source synthesis

• agenda — Unified chronological day view merging calendar events and due tasks across all connected accounts.

  Reach for this to see everything on a day in one call instead of querying events per calendar and tasks separately.

  morgen-pp-cli agenda --date 2026-06-16

Output Formats

# Human-readable table (default in terminal, JSON when piped)
morgen-pp-cli calendars list

# JSON for scripting and agents
morgen-pp-cli calendars list --json

# Filter to specific fields
morgen-pp-cli calendars list --json --select id,name,status

# Dry run — show the request without sending
morgen-pp-cli calendars list --dry-run

# Agent mode — JSON + compact + no prompts in one flag
morgen-pp-cli calendars list --agent

Agent Usage

This CLI is designed for AI agent consumption:

• Non-interactive - never prompts, every input is a flag
• Pipeable - --json output to stdout, errors to stderr
• Filterable - --select id,name returns only fields you need
• Previewable - --dry-run shows the request without sending
• Explicit retries - add --idempotent to create retries when a no-op success is acceptable
• Confirmable - --yes for explicit confirmation of destructive actions
• Piped input - write commands can accept structured input when their help lists --stdin
• Offline-friendly - sync/search commands can use the local SQLite store when available
• Agent-safe by default - no colors or formatting unless --human-friendly is set

Exit codes: 0 success, 2 usage error, 3 not found, 4 auth error, 5 API error, 7 rate limited, 10 config error.

Health Check

morgen-pp-cli doctor

Verifies configuration, credentials, and connectivity to the API.

Configuration

Config file: ~/.config/morgen/config.toml

Static request headers can be configured under headers; per-command header overrides take precedence.

Environment variables:

Name	Kind	Required	Description
MORGEN_API_KEY	per_call	Yes	Set to your API credential.

Troubleshooting

Authentication errors (exit code 4)

• Run morgen-pp-cli doctor to check credentials
• Verify the environment variable is set: echo $MORGEN_API_KEY Not found errors (exit code 3)
• Check the resource ID is correct
• Run the list command to see available items
