# Cargo CLI — Connections

Connector and integration management: listing connectors, discovering available integrations, and managing authenticated connector instances.

> See `references/response-shapes.md` for full JSON response structures.
> See `references/troubleshooting.md` for common errors and how to fix them.
> See `references/examples/connectors.md` for connector CRUD and discovery examples.
> See `references/examples/integrations.md` for listing available integrations and OAuth flows.
> For third-party connector rate limit handling and retry config in workflows, see `cargo-orchestration/references/polling.md` and `cargo-orchestration/references/troubleshooting.md`. Native integrations do not have rate limits.

## Bootstrap

Already signed in (`cargo-ai whoami` returns a workspace)? Skip to the next section.

```bash
npm install -g @cargo-ai/cli            # no global install? prefix every command with `npx @cargo-ai/cli`
cargo-ai login --email [email protected]  # emailed code, no browser; creates the account on first use
                                        # alternatives: --oauth (browser) · --token <api-token> (CI)
cargo-ai whoami                         # confirm the active workspace before any write
```

Every command prints JSON to stdout; failures exit non-zero with `{"errorMessage": "..."}`. Anything that creates a run or a batch is async — pass `--wait-until-finished` or poll the matching `get`. When the full skill bundle is installed, [`../cargo/references/prerequisites.md`](../cargo/references/prerequisites.md) adds the CLI version pin, token scopes, and the admin-only surface.

## Key concepts

**Integration:** The external service type (e.g. HubSpot, Clearbit, Salesforce). Integrations define what actions are available.

**Connector:** An authenticated instance of an integration. One integration can have multiple connectors (e.g. two different HubSpot accounts). Connectors are what you reference in workflow node graphs.

## Discover resources first

**Looking for an action? Search for it — don't browse the catalog.** Two keyword
searches cover the whole surface, and both beat paging `integration list` or
reading a whole `integration get` payload:

```bash
cargo-ai orchestration action list <query>
