Hatchet Cloud Quickstart
By the end of this guide you’ll have a worker running locally that executes a simple task triggered from the CLI.
This guide walks you through getting set up on Hatchet Cloud. If you’d like to self-host Hatchet, please see the self-hosted quickstart instead.

Set up your tenant
In Hatchet Cloud, you’ll be shown a screen to create your first tenant. A tenant is a logical separation of your environments (e.g. dev, staging, production). Each tenant has its own set of users who can access it.
After creating the tenant, you can simply follow the instructions in the Hatchet Cloud dashboard to set up your first quickstart project and workflow. We have copied the instructions in the following steps.
Install the Hatchet CLI
MacOS, Linux, WSL
curl -fsSL https://install.hatchet.run/install.sh | bashSet your Hatchet profile
You will need to create a Hatchet CLI profile to connect to your Hatchet Cloud tenant. You can do this using the hatchet profile add command:
hatchet profile addNote that the Hatchet Cloud dashboard will provide you with an API token to use when creating your profile.
Run the quickstart
You can run the Hatchet Cloud quickstart using the hatchet quickstart command:
hatchet quickstartRun your worker
After setting up the quickstart project, you can run your worker locally by following the instructions printed after the quickstart command. This will involve using the hatchet worker dev command:
hatchet worker devTrigger a workflow
Finally, you can trigger your workflow using the hatchet trigger simple command:
hatchet trigger simple(Optional) Install Hatchet docs MCP and Agent Skills
Get Hatchet documentation directly in your AI coding assistant (Cursor, Claude Code, and more):

And that’s it! You should now have a Hatchet project set up on Hatchet Cloud with a worker running locally.
