What is the CopilotKit CLI?

The CopilotKit CLI boosts your CopilotKit development experience. It integrates neatly with Copilot Cloud.

Installation

# npm
npm install -g copilotkit

# pnpm
pnpm install -g copilotkit

# yarn
yarn global add copilotkit

Commands

init: Add CopilotKit to your Next.js project

The fastest way to add CopilotKit to your Next.js project is with the init command:

# Navigate to your Next.js project
cd my-nextjs-app

# Run the init command
copilotkit init

This interactive command will:

• Set up the required UI components
• Configure AI agents if desired (LangGraph, CrewAI)
• Connect to Copilot Cloud (optional)
• Create all necessary configuration files

You can also pass flags to automate the setup:

copilotkit init --mode LangGraph

login: Authenticating with Copilot Cloud

First, ensure you have an account on Copilot Cloud.

Then, run the following command to authenticate with Copilot Cloud:

copilotkit login

dev: Local Endpoint Development

The CopilotKit CLI allows you to create a local tunnel to your CopilotKit remote endpoints, agents, and LangGraph apps.

For example, to create a local tunnel to an endpoint running locally on port 8000, you can run:

copilotkit dev --port 8000
