CLI

The aigon command-line tool translates the REST API into shell commands. It's designed for two audiences:

LLMs and AI assistants — Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and other agents can call aigon directly to read, search, and add notes
Humans — use it in scripts, on the command line, or anywhere you want terminal access to your Aigon data

Install

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
uv tool install aigon-cli

Or download the standalone script from GitHub.

Set your API token (see Authentication for how to get one):

aigon config set api.token YOUR_TOKEN

Verify:

aigon config show

aigon notetaker read --limit 5
aigon notetaker read --all --forever --limit 20
aigon notetaker search "meeting"

Commands optimised for AI assistant consumption:

aigon llm help
aigon notetaker read --format llm --limit 10

aigon config show
aigon config set api.token YOUR_TOKEN
aigon config help

Start the MCP server for AI assistant integration:

aigon mcp

See MCP Server for Claude Desktop configuration.

aigon --help
aigon notetaker --help
aigon llm help
