DBay CLI — manage memory, knowledge base, and databases from the terminal

dbay-cli

Command-line tool for DBay — manage memory bases, knowledge bases, databases, and more from the terminal.

Install

pip install dbay-cli

Getting Started

# Login (creates ~/.dbay/config.json)
dbay login

# Create a memory base and set it as default
dbay mem create my-mem
dbay mem use my-mem

# Register MCP server with Claude Code
claude mcp add --scope user dbay -- uvx dbay-mcp

# Done! Claude now remembers across sessions.

Memory Commands

dbay mem list                    # List memory bases (* marks default)
dbay mem use <name|id>           # Switch default memory base
dbay mem create <name>           # Create a memory base
dbay mem create --encrypted <name>  # Create with end-to-end encryption
dbay mem info                    # Show current memory base details
dbay mem stats                   # Show memory statistics

dbay mem list-memories           # List all memories (decrypts if encrypted)
dbay mem recall "query"          # Semantic search (decrypts if encrypted)
dbay mem ingest "content"        # Store a memory (encrypts if encrypted)
dbay mem delete-memory <id>      # Delete a memory

dbay mem change-password         # Change encryption password

All commands use the default memory base from ~/.dbay/config.json. Override with positional argument or --base option.

Knowledge Base Commands

dbay kb list                     # List knowledge bases (* marks default)
dbay kb use <name|id>            # Switch default knowledge base
dbay kb create <name>            # Create a knowledge base
dbay kb info <id>                # Show knowledge base details

dbay kb upload <id> <file>       # Upload document (PDF, DOCX, MD)
dbay kb docs <id>                # List documents
dbay kb search <id> "query"      # Semantic search

End-to-End Encryption

Create an encrypted memory base where content is encrypted locally before upload. The server never sees plaintext.

dbay mem create --encrypted my-private-mem
# 1. Set a password (saved to ~/.dbay/secret)
# 2. Choose embedding provider
# 3. Keys generated automatically

Three-factor security:

• Password (~/.dbay/secret) - only you know
• Config file (~/.dbay/encrypted_bases.json) - portable, safe to share (encrypted private key)
• Server - stores encrypted DEK (useless without private key)

Cross-device: copy ~/.dbay/encrypted_bases.json to the new device, create ~/.dbay/secret with your password, then dbay login.

Configuration

~/.dbay/config.json (auto-created by dbay login):

{
  "endpoint": "https://api.dbay.cloud:8443",
  "api_key": "lk_...",
  "memory_base": "mem_...",
  "knowledge_base": "kb_..."
}
