Tambo CLI
Agent-friendly CLI for project setup and component management.
Quick Start
npx tambo init --api-key=sk_... # Initialize with API key
npx tambo add message-thread-full --yes # Add a component
npx tambo create-app my-app --template=standard # New app from template
Non-Interactive Mode
The CLI detects non-interactive environments and returns guidance instead of hanging:
# In CI or piped environments, this returns guidance (exit 2) instead of prompting
npx tambo init
# Error: Project name required.
# Run one of:
# tambo init --project-name=myapp # Create new project
# tambo init --project-id=abc123 # Use existing project
Detection Logic
Non-interactive when ANY of these are true:
process.stdin.isTTYis false (piped input)process.stdout.isTTYis false (piped output)CIenvironment variable is setGITHUB_ACTIONS=true
Override with FORCE_INTERACTIVE=1 (requires real TTY).
Exit Codes
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | Success |
| 1 | Error (network, invalid args, etc.) |
| 2 | User action required - check stderr for exact command |
Commands for Agents
Initialize Project
# Option 1: Direct API key (simplest for agents)
npx tambo init --api-key=sk_...
# Option 2: Create new project (requires prior auth)

# Option 3: Use existing project
npx tambo init --project-id=abc123
# Skip all prompts with defaults
npx tambo init --yes --project-name=myapp
Add Components
npx tambo add form --yes # Skip confirmation
npx tambo add form graph --yes # Multiple components
npx tambo add form --prefix=src/components # Custom directory
npx tambo add form --dry-run # Preview changes
npx tambo add form --legacy-peer-deps # For dependency conflicts
