agentmako

Agentmako is a local project intelligence CLI and MCP server for codebases and databases, with repo-aware indexing, schema snapshots, and secure live database connectivity.

Install

One-off run via npx (no global install needed):

npx agentmako connect

Or install globally:

npm install -g agentmako
agentmako connect

Get started

From inside a project you want to attach:

agentmako connect

connect walks you through:

1. Attaching the project and indexing its code and schema sources
2. Optionally connecting a live database — interactive mode captures the URL with hidden input and stores it in your OS keychain
3. Testing the connection and auto-discovering all non-system schemas
4. Refreshing the local schema snapshot from the live database
5. Printing a final status block with next steps

Day-to-day commands

agentmako --version  # print CLI version
agentmako status     # project state, schema snapshot, db binding
agentmako verify     # compare local snapshot against the live db (uses saved scope)
agentmako refresh    # refresh the local snapshot from the live db (uses saved scope)

Advanced substrate commands are still available under agentmako project … for scripting and debugging.

Flags worth knowing

• --no-db — skip the live database step
• --db-env <VAR> — non-interactive / CI; reads the DB URL from env var, binds as env_var_ref
• --keychain-from-env <VAR> — non-interactive / CI; reads the DB URL from env var, stores in OS keychain
• --schemas a,b — override auto-discovered schema scope
• --yes — skip interactive prompts
• --json — machine-readable output on every command
