Deprecation and Removal of the @cognite/cdf-cli Package

Why are we making this change?

The CDF CLI was originally designed to streamline application development on top of CDF, specifically focusing on Data Modeling workflows and the generation of type-safe SDKs.

However, to ensure we are delivering the highest value to our developer ecosystem, we are refining our product strategy and priorities. The CDF CLI (beta) has not been under active development for some time, and maintaining it to our quality standards no longer aligns with our current roadmap. By discontinuing this tool, we can refocus our resources on the core tools and SDKs that best support your integration with Cognite Data Fusion.

If your current CI/CD pipelines or local development environments rely on installing this package, you must take action before February 18th, 2026 to avoid build failures.

Timeline of Events

• February 18th, 2026: The @cognite/cdf-cli package will be unpublished from NPM. You will no longer be able to install it via npm install or yarn add.
