Seqera AI uses your Seqera Platform account for authentication. This page describes authentication concepts and step-by-step instructions for managing your sessions.

Authenticating Seqera AI​

Log in​

To authenticate with your Seqera Platform account, run:

seqera login

This will:

  1. Open your default browser to the Seqera login page

  2. Prompt you to sign in with your Seqera Platform credentials

  3. Automatically capture the authentication token

  4. Display a success message in your terminal

    Opening browser for authentication...
    Successfully authenticated as user@example.com

View session status​

To view your current authentication status, run:

seqera status

You should see output similar to:

Logged in as: user@example.com
Session expires: 2025-12-16 14:30:00

Add access tokens for automation​

For automated environments, you can provide a Seqera Platform access token directly:

seqera ai --token <PLATFORM_ACCESS_TOKEN>

You can also set the token via environment variable:

export TOWER_ACCESS_TOKEN=<PLATFORM_ACCESS_TOKEN>
seqera ai

This shows your login status, authenticated email, and session details.

Log out​

Standard logout​

To sign out from the current session, run:

seqera logout

This command revokes your current authentication token and removes locally stored credentials. You will need to re-authenticate on next use.

Clear all sessions​

To remove all profiles and completely reset authentication, run:

seqera logout --all

This command removes all stored credentials and session data.

Token refresh​

Seqera AI CLI automatically refreshes your authentication token when needed. You are not required to log in again unless:

  • You explicitly log out
  • Your refresh token expires (typically after extended inactivity)
  • Your Seqera Platform account permissions change
