ayga-cli 0.1.0

ayga_parser CLI Tool with Redis and HTTP API support

ayga-cli

Data access client — fetch data from configured sources via a Redis Wrapper server. For humans, AI agents, and automation scripts.

For AI Agents: Read CONTEXT.md first — it contains Rules of Engagement, output format, exit codes, and usage examples optimised for LLM consumption. There's also a SKILL.md for skill-based agent frameworks.

Philosophy

You ask for data by source name and query — the server handles parsers, proxies, and infrastructure. You do not need to know what runs behind the source, and the CLI never exposes that detail: no parser names, no proxy configuration, no backend engine branding in the interface.

Features

• Source-based interface: get <source> <query> — no backend/parser knowledge required
• Redis transport: async queue-based communication with the backend server
• MCP server: 2-tool MCP server (fetch_data, list_sources) for AI agent integration
• Modern CLI: Typer + Rich for readable output, --json/--stream for machine consumption
• Secure: OS keyring for password storage
• Tested: 195 passing tests (5 skipped)

Installation

# Clone and install
cd ayga-cli
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate   # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -e ".[mcp]"

The [mcp] extra is only needed if you plan to run the MCP server (ayga_parser-mcp).

Authentication

ayga-cli talks to a hosted backend — you need an API key (AYGA_PASSWORD) to use it. Get your API key from https://redis.ayga.tech or contact [e-mail].

Configuration

# Interactive setup
ayga_parser config init

# Or set via environment variables (AYGA_ prefix, case-insensitive)
export AYGA_HTTP_URL="http://127.0.0.1:9091/API"
export AYGA_REDIS_HOST="127.0.0.1"
export AYGA_REDIS_PORT="6379"
export AYGA_PASSWORD="your_password"

• Config files, presets, and manifest cache share one canonical config directory:
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\ayga-cli
  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/ayga-cli
  • Linux: ~/.config/ayga-cli
• Settings can also be dropped into a .env file inside that config directory — it's loaded automatically.
• HTTP requests can use both the API password payload and HTTP Basic Auth. Set AYGA_HTTP_BASIC_USERNAME and optionally AYGA_HTTP_BASIC_PASSWORD if your backend requires explicit Basic Auth credentials.
• View the resolved configuration at any time with ayga_parser config show.

CLI Usage

Quick start — the get/sources interface

This is the primary, backend-agnostic interface. Discover what's available, then fetch data by source name:

# 1. See what data sources are configured on this server
ayga_parser sources list

# 2. Inspect a source's schema (fields, description, examples) before using it
ayga_parser sources info web-search

# 3. Fetch data
ayga_parser get web-search "machine learning 2025"

# 4. Limit the response to specific fields (recommended for agent contexts)
ayga_parser get web-search "machine learning 2025" --fields title,url,snippet

# 5. Stream results as NDJSON — one record per line
ayga_parser get web-search "Python tutorials" --stream --fields title,url

# 6. Get structured JSON output
ayga_parser get ai-answer "What is quantum computing?" --json

# 7. Preview what would be sent, without executing
ayga_parser get web-search "test" --dry-run

# 8. Custom timeout (default: 300s)
ayga_parser get ai-answer "explain entropy" --timeout 120

sources list and sources info cache results locally; pass --no-cache to force a fresh fetch from the server.

Helper commands (+verb)

For multi-step operations that combine more than one source call. Each +verb is a command group with a single subcommand of the same name:

# Fetch a URL and return clean Markdown (uses the 'article' source internally)
ayga_parser +extract extract https://example.com/article

# Combine web-search + ai-answer for a topic
ayga_parser +research research "quantum computing"

Use a helper only when a single get call isn't enough — if one source covers it, call get directly.

Connectivity and diagnostics

# Test HTTP connectivity to the configured backend
ayga_parser ping

# Show the resolved configuration
ayga_parser config show

Lower-level parser/preset management

ayga-cli also ships lower-level command groups (parsers, presets) for managing the underlying parser manifest and reusable option presets. These are for operators configuring the backend, not for the day-to-day get/sources workflow described above:

ayga_parser parsers list
ayga_parser parsers list --category SE
ayga_parser presets list

See ayga_parser parsers --help and ayga_parser presets --help for details.

Exit Codes

Machine consumers should check the exit code rather than assuming success:

Code	Meaning	Action
0	Success — data in stdout	Parse stdout as JSON
1	General/unknown error	Check stderr
2	Timeout — server did not respond in time	Retry or increase --timeout
3	Source not found	Run sources list to see available sources
4	Server unavailable — Redis Wrapper unreachable	Report infrastructure issue, do not retry in a loop
5	Invalid input — bad source name or empty query	Fix the input

Error details are always written to stderr; stdout is reserved for clean data output.

MCP Server

Run the MCP server for AI agent integration:

# Start MCP server (requires the [mcp] extra)
ayga_parser-mcp

# Or via Python
python -m ayga_cli.mcp.server

MCP Tools

Tool	Purpose
list_sources()	List available data sources
fetch_data(source, query, timeout=300)	Fetch data from a named source

Example MCP usage

# Discover available sources
sources = await mcp.list_sources()

# Fetch data from a source
result = await mcp.fetch_data(source="web-search", query="machine learning 2025")
# Returns: {"success": true, "status": "completed", "result": {...}}

ayga-cli only talks to the Redis Wrapper server. What the server does internally (parsers, proxies, presets) is its own concern — not something callers of get/sources need to know.
