tccli

What it is and what it does

TCCLI is a unified command-line tool for Tencent Cloud resource management. It wraps the Tencent Cloud API surface, allowing you to create, query, and modify cloud resources (compute instances, block storage, networking, and more) from the shell without writing code. The tool supports interactive and scripted configuration modes, multiple credential types (instance roles, temporary keys, permanent keys), multi-account profiles, and JMESPath-based output filtering.

You configure it once with your Tencent Cloud credentials and region, then call API operations as shell commands—for example, `tccli cvm RunInstances` to launch a server or `tccli cbs DescribeDisks` to list storage volumes. It's designed for automation, infrastructure-as-code workflows, and ad-hoc cloud administration from CI/CD pipelines or local terminals.

Use it for:

• Automate Tencent Cloud resource provisioning and teardown in deployment scripts or CI/CD pipelines.
• Query and manage cloud resources (CVM instances, CBS disks, VPC networks) from the command line without opening the web console.
• Build shell-based infrastructure-as-code workflows that call Tencent Cloud APIs with structured JSON parameters.
• Filter and parse API responses using JMESPath to extract specific fields for downstream processing.
• Manage multiple Tencent Cloud accounts via named profiles in a single shell environment.

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Command-line interface for managing Tencent Cloud resources and calling Tencent Cloud APIs directly from the terminal.

Yes. TCCLI is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and is licensed permissively. Install it if you need to automate Tencent Cloud operations from the command line or integrate Tencent Cloud API calls into shell scripts and CI/CD workflows.

Install

tccli on PyPI

pip install tccli

uv add tccli

poetry add tccli

Installing tccli

Before you install

Low friction install as a pure-Python wheel. Actively maintained with recent releases. Depends on tencentcloud-sdk-python and four lightweight utilities (jmespath, six, futures, cos-python-sdk-v5), all standard ecosystem packages.

License in practice

Licensed under Apache Software License (permissive), allowing commercial and private use with minimal restrictions.

Quickstart

pip install tccli
tccli configure
tccli cvm DescribeInstances

Requires Tencent Cloud API credentials (secretId and secretKey) and a configured region to make API calls.

Verify before relying

• Whether Python 2.7 support is still actively tested given the package classifies for both 2.7 and Python 3.
• Performance characteristics when managing large numbers of Tencent Cloud resources or making bulk API calls.
