tamarind-cli 0.1.3

Command-line interface for the Tamarind Bio platform — submit, monitor, and download protein/molecule jobs from your terminal or an AI agent.

Tamarind CLI

Command-line interface for the Tamarind Bio platform. Discover tools, submit and monitor protein / nucleic-acid / small-molecule jobs, and download results — from your terminal, a script, CI, or an AI coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, …).

The CLI is a thin client over the same API the Tamarind MCP server uses, so the two stay in lockstep. See docs/architecture.md for how drift is prevented.

Install

uv tool install tamarind-cli      # or: pipx install tamarind-cli

Or with the bootstrap installer (installs uv if needed):

curl -fsSL https://app.tamarind.bio/cli/install.sh | sh

To track the repo directly instead of the PyPI release:

uv tool install "git+https://github.com/Tamarind-Bio/tamarind-cli"
# or: pipx install "git+https://github.com/Tamarind-Bio/tamarind-cli"

Releasing: tag a GitHub Release and the publish.yml workflow builds and uploads to PyPI via Trusted Publishing (configure the trusted publisher for tamarind-cli on PyPI first).

Authenticate

Get an API key from the Tamarind web app (Settings → API), then either:

export TAMARIND_API_KEY="sk_..."      # best for agents / CI
# or
tamarind auth login                    # stores it in ~/.tamarind/config.json
tamarind auth status

Quickstart

# 1. Find a tool
tamarind tools --function structure-prediction --modality protein
tamarind tools --search boltz

# 2. Inspect its parameters and grab a runnable example
tamarind schema boltz
tamarind schema boltz --example > job.yaml

# 3. Validate, then submit
tamarind validate boltz --input job.yaml
tamarind submit   boltz --input job.yaml --name my-run --wait --download ./out

# 4. Monitor / fetch
tamarind jobs
tamarind status my-run
tamarind results my-run --download ./out

Set individual fields inline instead of a file:

tamarind submit boltz \
  --set inputFormat=sequence \
  --set sequence=MKTVRQERLKSIVRIL... \
  --name quick-fold

Output for agents

Every command emits JSON when stdout is not a TTY, or with --json. Exit codes are stable: 0 ok, 3 auth, 4 not-found, 5 validation, 6 rate-limit.

tamarind jobs --json | jq '.jobs[] | select(.JobStatus=="Running")'
