ZeroDB CLI

CLI for ZeroDB - the AI-native vector database. Set up a project and configure MCP servers for your AI editor in one command.

Quick Start

npx zerodb-cli init

This will:

1. Create an instant ZeroDB project (no signup required, 72-hour trial)
2. Auto-detect your editor (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf)
3. Configure the ZeroDB MCP server for agent memory
4. Write credentials to .env
5. Print curl examples to get started

Commands

npx zerodb-cli init                          # Auto-detect editor
npx zerodb-cli init --editor cursor          # Target specific editor
npx zerodb-cli init --api-key sk_xxx         # Use existing API key
