assistant-ui CLI

The assistant-ui CLI for adding components and dependencies to your project.

Usage

Use the init command to initialize dependencies for a new or existing project.

The init command installs dependencies, adds components, and configures your project for assistant-ui.

``bash
npx assistant-ui@latest init
`

create

Use the create command to scaffold a new Next.js project with assistant-ui.

The create command uses create-next-app with assistant-ui starter templates.

`bash
npx assistant-ui@latest create my-app
`

You can choose from multiple templates:

`bash


Default template with Vercel AI SDK

npx assistant-ui@latest create my-app

With Assistant Cloud for persistence

npx assistant-ui@latest create my-app -t cloud

With LangGraph integration

npx assistant-ui@latest create my-app -t langgraph

With MCP support

npx assistant-ui@latest create my-app -t mcp
`

The add command adds a component to your project and installs all required dependencies.

`

`

You can also add multiple components at once:

`

update

Use the update command to update all assistant-ui packages to their latest versions.

`bash
npx assistant-ui@latest update
