Package Exports

@contextium/cli
@contextium/cli/dist/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@contextium/cli) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Contextium CLI

Command-line tool for managing Contextium — your team's AI knowledge store. Create and manage context libraries, agents, skills, workflows, and tags from the terminal. Pipe your team's documentation directly into Claude, Cursor, Copilot, and any other AI coding assistant.

What is Contextium?

Contextium is a central file system for team knowledge that AI assistants can read directly. Use it to store:

Coding standards and style guides your AI should always follow
SOPs for onboarding, deployments, incident response
AI agent configs — pre-configured assistants with defined roles and skills
Workflows — bundles of context that load in one command
Tags for organising and searching across all your documentation

The CLI lets you manage all of this from your terminal and pipe content into any AI workflow.

Install

npm install -g @contextium/cli

Or run without installing:

npx @contextium/cli --help

Quick Start

# 1. Authenticate
contextium login

# 2. See your workspaces
contextium workspaces

# 3. List context libraries
contextium libraries -w my-workspace

# 4. Pull all content into your clipboard (pipe to Claude, Cursor, etc.)
contextium cat --all -w my-workspace | pbcopy

# 5. Find a specific file
contextium find "authentication" -w my-workspace

Connect to Claude and Cursor

The CLI pairs with the Contextium MCP server so Claude and Cursor can read your workspace automatically.

Quickest setup:

contextium setup-claude

This writes the MCP config to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json for you. Restart Claude Desktop and your team's docs are live in Claude.

Or connect via the hosted remote MCP (no local install needed):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "contextium": {
      "type": "sse",
      "url": "https://mcp.contextium.io/sse"
    }
  }
}

Example Workflows

Pipe team docs into an AI prompt

# Get all docs and copy to clipboard
contextium cat --all -w my-workspace | pbcopy

# Get just a specific library
contextium cat --all -w my-workspace -l coding-standards | pbcopy

# Search and pipe results
contextium search "deployment process" -w my-workspace

Set up a new team member

# Authenticate
contextium login

# See what's available
contextium workspaces
contextium libraries -w acme-corp

# Load the onboarding workflow
contextium workflow "Onboarding" -w acme-corp

Organise docs with tags

# Tag a file by adding #authentication inside its content, then save —
# the tag is created and reconciled from the file content automatically.
contextium edit-file <fileId> --content "… #authentication"

# Find all authentication files
contextium tags search -w my-workspace --tags authentication
