Note: How to access worker nodes

Run SELECT nodename, nodeport FROM pg_dist_node and copy one of the hostnames starting with ec2- and ending in .com.

Take the connection string you get from the Citus Cloud dashboard, and replace the coordinator hostname (starting with c. and ending in .com) with the worker hostname. Then simply use psql to connect to the worker (username, password, port and database name are the same).
