UiPath local tooling reference: uipcli 23.x, uipcli 25.x, UiRobot.exe

!README.md

UiPath Local Tooling — CLI Comparison

Five executables cover local and cloud UiPath operations. This document compares capabilities across uipcli 23.x (net6), uipcli 25.x (net8), UiRobot.exe, uipathcli (uipath.exe), and uip rpa (future/preview).

For AI-assisted RPA development (pair programming with an MCP client such as Claude Code or Cursor), these tools form the executable surface an agent can invoke — covering the full lifecycle from pack and analyze through deploy and local test execution.

package analyze — Syntax Differences (uipcli only)

The analyze subcommand has breaking differences between 23.x and 25.x:

Aspect	uipcli 23.x	uipcli 25.x
Positional argument	Path to project.json	Path to project folder
--traceLevel off value	Off	None
--nugetConfigFilePath	Not available	Available
--governanceFilePath	Not available	Available
--analyzerTraceLevel values	Off|Error|Warning|Info|Verbose	None|Critical|Error|Warning|Information|Verbose

Always match uipcli version to the project's target framework: Studio ≤ 23.x → net6 → uipcli 23.x Studio ≥ 24.x → net8 → uipcli 25.x Check "targetFramework" in project.json.

---

When to Use Which Tool

Use uipcli 25.x when:

• Packing, analyzing, or deploying packages in a Studio 24+ / net8 project
• Running Workflow Analyzer with custom rule packs (--nugetConfigFilePath)
• Running governance policy checks (--governanceFilePath)
• Managing solution deployments (solution verb)
• Restoring dependencies for offline builds
• Running parallel test sets

Use uipcli 23.x when:

• Working with a net6 / Studio 23.x project
• Basic pack + analyze + deploy with no custom rule packs

Use UiRobot.exe when:

• Executing a .nupkg locally without Orchestrator (execute --file)
• Packing a project when uipcli is not available
• Managing the Robot service connection (connect, disconnect)
• Running a process installed from Orchestrator (execute --process-name)

Use uipathcli when:

• Scripting any UiPath cloud API operation beyond package deploy
• Managing Orchestrator resources (assets, jobs, machines, processes, schedules, buckets, …)
• Document Understanding pipeline automation
• Identity management (users, groups, robot accounts, tokens)
• CI/CD pipelines on Linux/macOS (Go binary, no .NET runtime)
• Querying and filtering API responses with JMESPath (--query)

Use uip rpa when (future):

• Driving Studio IPC directly from CLI (open/close project, run/debug workflow)
• Getting project errors and running analysis via live Studio session
• Building, packing, and restoring with Studio integration
• Activity discovery, inspection, and workflow examples
• UI Automation scripting (uia commands)
• Inspecting NuGet package APIs without a running workflow

---

uip-rpa.md

uip-rpa(1) — UiPath RPA CLI (future/preview)

NAME

uip rpa — Studio IPC-native CLI for creating and managing UiPath RPA projects

SYNOPSIS

uip rpa [options] <command>
uip rpa --help-all

DESCRIPTION

uip rpa is a future/preview tool described as:

"A tool that enables creating and managing UiPath RPA projects via Studio IPC."

Unlike uipcli (which is a standalone build/deploy tool) and uipathcli (which is a cloud API client), uip rpa is Studio IPC-native — most commands drive a running Studio instance over its named-pipe IPC interface. It is the closest thing to a CLI front-end for the Studio IPC surface that cpmf-uips-mcpbridge exposes programmatically.

Status: Future/preview. Command surface observed from a pre-release build. Details may change before general availability.

---

GLOBAL OPTIONS

Option	Description
--project-dir <path>	Project directory to match against running Studio instances (default: C:\)
--studio-dir <path>	Path to Studio installation directory
--timeout <seconds>	Timeout in seconds (default: 300)
--verbose	Enable verbose logging
--use-studio	Bypass Helm and interact with Studio directly
--help-all	Show help for all subcommands (recursive)
-h, --help	Display help for command

---

---

Diagnostics and Errors

uip rpa get-errors [options]
uip rpa diff [options]

Command	Description
get-errors	Retrieves diagnostics from a specific file or the entire project, filtered by severity level. Forces Studio to run validation before retrieving. Use skipValidation to retrieve from last validation.
diff	Show differences between two files (workflows, code files, text files, etc.). Opens a window in Studio to display highlighted differences. Completes when the user closes the window.

---

Package Management

uip rpa install-or-update-packages [options]
uip rpa inspect-package [options]
uip rpa get-versions [options]

Command	Description
install-or-update-packages	Installs or updates NuGet packages in the current project. Provide an array of packages with id and version. Returns a list of packages that failed to install.

---

Activity Discovery

uip rpa find-activities [options]
uip rpa get-default-activity-xml [options]
uip rpa focus-activity [options]
uip rpa list-workflow-examples [options]
uip rpa get-workflow-example [options]

Command	Description
get-manual-test-cases	Get manual test cases from Test Manager — returns the ids of test cases that are not automated
get-manual-test-steps	Get manual test steps from Test Manager for the given test case ids

---

AUTH MODEL

uip rpa authenticates via Studio IPC session — it connects to a running Studio instance over its named pipe. No separate credential configuration is required; the tool inherits the session the user has open in Studio.

The --project-dir option is used to match the command against the correct Studio instance when multiple instances are running.

---

COMPARISON TO cpmf-uips-mcpbridge

uip rpa covers much of the same IPC surface that cpmf-uips-mcpbridge Core exposes:

Capability	uip rpa	mcpbridge Core
List Studio instances	list-instances	StudioLocator.DiscoverSessionsAsync()
Open project	open-project	ProjectService.OpenAndWaitAsync()
Close project	close-project	ProjectService.CloseProjectAsync()
Run/debug workflow	run-file	RunService.ExecuteCommandAsync()
Get errors	get-errors	ValidationService.GetProjectErrorsAsync()
Validate	analyze	ValidationService.ValidateProjectAsync()
Auth context	inherited from Studio	AuthService.GetAccessToken()

The bridge adds an MCP transport layer on top; uip rpa provides direct CLI access to the same surface.

---

NOTES

• --use-studio bypasses Helm (UiPath's newer backend) and talks to Studio directly — equivalent to the named-pipe IPC approach used by cpmf-uips-mcpbridge.
• run-file accepts a command parameter giving "rich control over debugging" — likely maps to IRunService.ExecuteCommand with commands like StartDebugging, StepOver, Continue, etc.
• build (compile without pack) is unique to this tool — no equivalent in uipcli or UiRobot.

uipathcli.md

uipath(1) — UiPath CLI (uipathcli)

NAME

uipath — Command-line interface for UiPath cloud services (API client)

SYNOPSIS

uipath <service> <operation> [--<argument> <value> ...]
uipath config
uipath autocomplete

DESCRIPTION

uipathcli is a Go binary that covers two distinct capability areas:

1. REST API client — orchestrator, du, identity subcommands map directly to HTTP calls against UiPath cloud services.

2. Studio operations wrapper — studio subcommands (package analyze, pack, publish, restore, test run) are not implemented in the Go binary itself. On first use, uipathcli downloads a uipcli package from GitHub Releases into a local modules cache and delegates to it at runtime. For Windows it fetches UiPath.CLI.Windows.24.12.9208.28468.nupkg; for cross-platform flows it uses UiPath.CLI.24.12.9208.28468.nupkg. A .NET 8 runtime is also downloaded when needed. See plugin/module_definition.go and plugin/module_manager.go in the source.

Source: https://github.com/UiPath/uipathcli Latest release: v2.0.50 (2025-11-19) Language: Go — main binary has no .NET runtime requirement; studio ops fetch .NET runtime on demand.

Binary name: uipath.exe (Windows), uipath (Linux/macOS)

Installation (Windows amd64):

Invoke-WebRequest "https://github.com/UiPath/uipathcli/releases/latest/download/uipathcli-windows-amd64.zip" `
  -OutFile "uipathcli.zip"
Expand-Archive -Force -Path "uipathcli.zip" -DestinationPath "."

GLOBAL OPTIONS

Option	Env var	Description
--profile	UIPATH_PROFILE	Config profile (default: "default")
--uri	UIPATH_URI	Server Base-URI
--organization	UIPATH_ORGANIZATION	Organization name
--tenant	UIPATH_TENANT	Tenant name
--output	UIPATH_OUTPUT	Output format: json (default) or text
--query		JMESPath query on output
--wait		Wait for JMESPath condition
--wait-timeout		Timeout in seconds for --wait (default: 30)
--file		Read input from file (- for stdin)
--identity-uri	UIPATH_IDENTITY_URI	Identity Server URI
--debug	UIPATH_DEBUG	Enable debug output
--insecure	UIPATH_INSECURE	Disable HTTPS certificate check

---

SERVICES

studio

UiPath Studio project operations.

uipath studio package analyze  [options]
uipath studio package pack      [options]
uipath studio package publish   [options]
uipath studio package restore   [options]
uipath studio test run          [options]

Subcommand	Description
package analyze	Static code analysis (Workflow Analyzer) — delegated to downloaded uipcli
package pack	Pack project into a .nupkg — delegated to downloaded uipcli
package publish	Pack and publish directly to Orchestrator — delegated to downloaded uipcli
package restore	Restore project dependencies — delegated to downloaded uipcli
test run	Run workflow tests against a package — delegated to downloaded uipcli

Runtime delegation: All studio subcommands are forwarded to a uipcli binary that uipathcli downloads from GitHub Releases on first use and caches locally. The Go binary acts as a launcher and credential broker; the actual Studio work is done by the fetched .NET uipcli.

---

COMPARISON TO uipcli

Aspect	uipcli	uipathcli
Runtime	.NET 6/8	Go binary; fetches .NET 8 + uipcli on first studio use
Primary purpose	Build / analyze / deploy	Full API client for all UiPath services
Studio ops	pack, analyze, deploy, restore	pack, analyze, publish, restore, test
Orchestrator ops	deploy, asset, job run, test	30+ resource types
Document Understanding	—	Full DU pipeline
Identity management	—	Users, groups, robot accounts, tokens
Auth	External App OAuth2 via CLI flags	External App OAuth2 via config profile
NuGet interaction	Yes (pack, analyze, restore)	No

---

NOTES

• All credentials can be provided via environment variables for CI/CD pipelines.
• --query accepts JMESPath expressions for filtering JSON output.
• --wait + --wait-timeout allow polling until a condition is met (e.g. job completion).
• studio subcommands delegate to a uipcli downloaded from GitHub Releases on first use — not embedded in the binary.
• For cross-platform Studio flows: UiPath.CLI.24.12.9208.28468.nupkg; for Windows: UiPath.CLI.Windows.24.12.9208.28468.nupkg.
• A .NET 8 runtime is also downloaded on demand if not present.

uipcli-25x.md

uipcli(1) — UiPath Command Line Interface v25.x

NAME

uipcli — UiPath Command Line Interface, net8 build (25.x series)

SYNOPSIS

uipcli <verb> <subverb> [options]
uipcli help <verb>
uipcli version

DESCRIPTION

uipcli is the UiPath CLI tool for package management, solution lifecycle, and Orchestrator operations. The 25.x series targets .NET 8 and is the current release line. It is a strict superset of 23.x, adding package restore, test parallel, and the entire solution verb.

Binary location pattern: ~/.cpmf/tools/uipcli-25.*/uipcli.exe

COMMANDS

package

Manage UiPath project packages.

uipcli package analyze  <folder>        [options]
uipcli package pack     <folder>        [options]
uipcli package deploy   <package.nupkg> [options]

uipcli solution analyze         [options]
uipcli solution pack            [options]
uipcli solution restore         [options]
uipcli solution upload-package  [options]
uipcli solution download-package [options]
uipcli solution download-config [options]
uipcli solution deploy          [options]
uipcli solution deploy-activate [options]
uipcli solution deploy-uninstall [options]
uipcli solution delete-package  [options]

---

asset

Manage Orchestrator assets.

uipcli asset deploy  <assets.csv> [options]
uipcli asset delete  <assets.csv> [options]

Orchestrator connection options (same as package deploy) apply to all asset subcommands.

---

job

Trigger Orchestrator jobs.

uipcli job run <process-name> [options]

Option	Description
--orchestratorFolder	Orchestrator folder containing the process
--jobscount	Number of job instances to start
--input	JSON input arguments
--result-path	Write job output to file
--timeout	Wait timeout in seconds

---

test

Run test sets or packages against Orchestrator.

uipcli test run      [options]
uipcli test parallel [options]

test parallel — run multiple packages or test sets concurrently. New in 25.x.

Option	Description
--testset	Name of the test set to run
--package-path	Path to test .nupkg to deploy and run
--result-path	Write JUnit XML result to file
--timeout	Wait timeout in seconds

---

run

Execute the CLI using arguments defined in a JSON file.

uipcli run <args.json>

---

NOTES

• --traceLevel None (not Off) suppresses CLI diagnostic output in 25.x.
• --analyzerTraceLevel Warning is required to see rules with IsEnabledByDefault = false.
• The package analyze positional argument is a folder in 25.x, not project.json.
• --nugetConfigFilePath enables custom rule packs (e.g. CPMF governance rules).
• Do not install via dotnet tool install UiPath.CLI.Windows directly — use Invoke-CpmfUipsCLI install-tool.

UiRobot(1) — UiPath Robot Local Executor

NAME

UiRobot — UiPath Robot, local process execution and Robot service management

SYNOPSIS

UiRobot <verb> [options]
UiRobot help <verb>
UiRobot version

DESCRIPTION

UiRobot.exe is the local UiPath Robot executable. Unlike uipcli, it operates against local installations and running Robot services rather than directly against the Orchestrator API. It can pack projects, execute processes locally (from .nupkg or via a connected Robot service), and manage the Robot's connection to Orchestrator.

Binary location: C:\Program Files\UiPathPlatform\Studio\<version>\UiRobot.exe

The version tracks the Studio installation — no separate install required.

---

COMMANDS

pack

Pack a UiPath project into a .nupkg file. Does not require uipcli.

UiRobot pack <project.json> --output <folder> [--version <ver>]

Option	Description
<project.json> (positional)	Path to project.json
--output, -o	Destination folder for the .nupkg
--version, -v	Override version string

Example:

UiRobot pack "C:\UiPath\Project\project.json" --output "C:\UiPath\Package"
UiRobot pack "C:\UiPath\Project\project.json" --output "C:\UiPath\Package" -v 1.0.6820.22047

---

execute

Execute a process locally. Three targeting modes:

UiRobot execute --file    <path.nupkg>       [--entry <EntryPoint.xaml>] [--input <json>]
UiRobot execute --package-id <package-id>    [--folder <orch-folder>]   [--input <json>]
UiRobot execute --process-name <proc-name>   [--folder <orch-folder>]   [--input <json>]

Option	Description
--file	Path to a local .nupkg file — runs without Orchestrator
--package-id	Package ID installed via Robot/Orchestrator
--process-name	Process name from a connected Orchestrator folder
--entry	Entry point .xaml (default: Main.xaml)
--input	JSON object of input arguments
--folder	Orchestrator folder when using --package-id or --process-name

Examples:

# Run from local .nupkg (no Orchestrator)
UiRobot execute --file "C:\UiPath\Package\TestAutomation.1.0.3.nupkg"

# Run with a specific entry point
UiRobot execute --file "C:\UiPath\Package\TestAutomation.1.0.3.nupkg" --entry "OtherEntryPoint.xaml"

# Run with input arguments (Bash / Command Prompt)
UiRobot execute --file "C:\pkg\Demo.nupkg" --input "{\"intArg\": 3, \"strArg\": \"hello\"}"

# Run via Orchestrator process name
UiRobot execute --process-name UiPathDemoProcess --folder "Product/Development/QA"

Note: --file mode runs entirely locally. --package-id and --process-name require a connected Robot service (see connect).

---

installprocess

Install a process from Orchestrator to the local Robot.

UiRobot installprocess --process-name <name> [--folder <folder>]

---

connect

Connect the Robot service to an Orchestrator instance.

UiRobot connect --url <url> --key <machine-key>
UiRobot connect --url <url> --clientId <id> --clientSecret <secret>

Option	Description
--url	Orchestrator base URL
--key	Machine key (legacy auth)
--clientId	Client ID (modern auth)
--clientSecret	Client secret (modern auth)

---

disconnect

Disconnect the Robot service from Orchestrator.

UiRobot disconnect [--force] [--wait]

---

flushlogs

Flush buffered log messages to Orchestrator.

UiRobot flushlogs [--timeout <seconds>]

---

cleannugetcache

Clean the local NuGet package cache.

UiRobot cleannugetcache [--period <days>] [--timeout <minutes>] [--allow-unsafe]

---

trace

Configure low-level debug tracing verbosity.

UiRobot trace --enableLowLevel
UiRobot trace --disableLowLevel

---

pip

Enable or disable Picture-in-Picture execution mode.

UiRobot pip --enable
UiRobot pip --disable

---

NOTES

• execute --file is the primary local-only execution path — no Orchestrator required.
• execute --package-id and execute --process-name require an active Robot service connection.
• pack produces identical output to uipcli package pack — use either interchangeably for local packing.
• Robot version tracks the Studio install; no separate versioning.
