MITHUNAI Command Line Interface (CLI)

The MITHUNAI CLI provides command-line control over your enterprise knowledge collections, document ingestion pipelines, and grounded assistants. Designed for developers and automated CI/CD environments, the tool enables scripted repository indexing upon git commit, headless verification of documentation changes, and instant terminal querying.

Terminal Ingestion Workflow

# Authenticate your terminal session
mithunai login --key "$MITHUNAI_API_KEY"

# Trigger a sync on a GitHub documentation source
mithunai sync trigger --source src_gh_01j982 --wait

# Test an answer directly from the command line
mithunai ask --assistant asst_prod_01 "How do I revoke an API key?"

Installation

Install the MITHUNAI CLI globally using npm, pnpm, or Homebrew:

# Via npm
npm install -g @mithunai/cli

# Via Homebrew
brew install mithunaihq/tap/mithunai

Core Command Reference

Configures authentication for the current developer environment.

mithunai login --key "arukz_sk_..." --endpoint "https://app.mithunai.com"

Credentials are saved in ~/.config/mithunai/config.json with restricted file permissions (chmod 600).

`mithunai knowledge`

Manages corporate collections and data connectors.

Subcommand	Description	Example
`list`	Displays all collections and sources.	`mithunai knowledge list`
`upload`	Uploads local Markdown, PDF, or Word files.	`mithunai knowledge upload --collection col_01 ./docs`
`sync`	Triggers delta re-indexing on a source.	`mithunai knowledge sync src_gh_01 --wait`
`status`	Checks background ingestion worker job status.	`mithunai knowledge status --job job_99812`

`mithunai ask`

Interactively queries an assistant from the terminal with rendered citation footnotes.

mithunai ask --assistant asst_prod_01 "Explain the prompt fencing algorithm"

Output format options include --format pretty (default ANSI colored Markdown), --format json (complete citations and confidence scores), and --format raw (prose only for shell piping).

CI/CD Pipeline Integration

Integrate MITHUNAI into GitHub Actions or GitLab CI to keep knowledge continuously updated whenever documentation or code changes:

GitHub Actions Workflow (.github/workflows/mithunai-sync.yml)

name: Sync Documentation to MITHUNAI
on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
    paths:
      - 'docs/**'
      - 'README.md'

jobs:
  sync:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: Install MITHUNAI CLI
        run: npm install -g @mithunai/cli
      - name: Trigger Source Re-Index
        env:
          MITHUNAI_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.MITHUNAI_API_KEY }}
        run: |
          mithunai sync trigger --source ${{ secrets.MITHUNAI_SOURCE_ID }} --wait --timeout 300
