CLI Reference
Full reference for the
warp / oz command-line interfaceWhat makes Warp different
Warp is not just a terminal. It is an end-to-end environment for agentic software development:- Blocks — every command and its output is a structured, selectable block, not a wall of scrolling text
- Agent Mode — ask the built-in AI agent to write code, fix bugs, and run commands directly in your terminal
- Oz cloud agents — run agents headlessly in the cloud, schedule them on a cron, and orchestrate multi-agent workflows
- MCP servers — extend the AI agent with tools from any Model Context Protocol server
- Warp Drive — sync workflows, notebooks, and sessions across your team
- Open source client — the Warp terminal client is open source under AGPL-3.0
Core concepts
What is a Block?
What is a Block?
A Block is the fundamental unit of the Warp terminal. Each command you run creates a Block containing the input you typed, the output it produced, and metadata like exit code and timing. Blocks make it easy to copy, share, or reference any command and its result.
What is Agent Mode?
What is Agent Mode?
Agent Mode is Warp’s built-in AI coding assistant. It can read your codebase, write and edit files, run shell commands, and work iteratively toward a goal. Agent Mode uses large language models (including GPT and Claude) and can be extended with MCP servers and Skills.
What is Oz?
What is Oz?
Oz is Warp’s cloud agent orchestration platform. It lets you run AI coding agents in isolated cloud environments, schedule them on a cron, and manage their runs from the
oz CLI. Oz agents can use the same models, skills, and secrets as local Agent Mode sessions.What is Warp Drive?
What is Warp Drive?
Warp Drive is Warp’s cloud sync layer. It stores and shares workflows (reusable command snippets), notebooks (rich markdown documents with embedded commands), and session recordings across your team.
