Quick start

# Authenticate with your TeamCity server
teamcity auth login

# List recent builds
teamcity run list --limit 10

# List your favorite builds
teamcity run list --favorites --limit 10

# List my latest build for the current branch
teamcity run list --user @me --branch @this --limit 1

# Start a build and watch it run
teamcity run start MyProject_Build --branch main --watch

# View logs from the latest build of a job
teamcity run log --job MyProject_Build

# Check what's in the queue
teamcity queue list

Note: The CLI uses "run" for builds and "job" for build configurations. See the glossary for the full mapping.

Commands

Run teamcity <command> --help for usage details. See the command reference for full documentation.

For AI agents

An Agent Skill is included with teamcity. It teaches AI coding agents how to use teamcity for common TeamCity workflows.

teamcity skill install           # auto-detects installed agents (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.)
teamcity skill install --project # install to current project only
teamcity skill update            # update to latest version bundled with teamcity
teamcity skill remove            # uninstall

or specifically for Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add JetBrains/teamcity-cli
/plugin install teamcity-cli@teamcity-cli

See AI agent integration for details.
