Basecamp CLI and Agent Skill: Agent first, agent native

Basecamp launched a command-line interface and agent-native tools that allow AI agents like Claude and Cursor to perform any user action within the platform, including writing documents, managing to-dos, and answering check-ins. The company positions the release as a technology preview for developers comfortable with agents and command-line tools, signaling a shift toward agent-first workflows in project management.

Get full access to Basecamp through the command line using our CLI, or with your favorite AI agent. Claude, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor — all are welcome. Developers are invited to integrate their tools with Basecamp using our API and SDK. Your agents can do anything in Basecamp you can do. Write a document, add and complete to-dos, and even answer check-ins about what they worked on today. The tools below make it easy for agents to get up to speed quickly and work efficiently in Basecamp. If you’re ahead of the curve, well-versed with agents, and comfortable with the command-line, the future is already here. Jump in. For everyone else, consider this a technology preview of what will be common in the near future. This is just the beginning.
