Use the CLI with an AI coding assistant to manage NeetoKB in plain language. The neetokb setup commands add NeetoKB instructions for your assistant, while --toon keeps command output compact for it to read.

​
Set up your assistant

Run the subcommand for the tool you use:
After setup, your assistant can check the commands and flags available in your installed CLI version:
The command prints the complete catalog as JSON.

​
CLI or MCP?

Both surfaces let an assistant work with NeetoKB. The CLI runs on your machine and reuses your browser sign-in, so it suits coding assistants that already have a terminal. The MCP server is hosted by NeetoKB and suits assistants without shell access; it connects with an OAuth grant scoped to you, or an API key scoped to the whole workspace.

Tips for agent workflows

Prefer --toon when the assistant needs to read a list or record, and --quiet when it needs to pipe an identifier into the next command. See Output formats.
  • Authenticate once with neetokb login; the assistant reuses the stored credentials.
  • When several workspaces are signed in, the assistant must pass --subdomain <name> on each command.
  • Run neetokb doctor first to confirm the assistant is authenticated and connected.
