@insforge/cli
Advanced tools
Command line tool for the InsForge platform. Manage your databases, edge functions, storage, deployments, payments, secrets, and more — directly from the terminal.
Designed to be both human-friendly (interactive prompts, formatted tables) and agent-friendly (structured JSON output, non-interactive mode, semantic exit codes).
Requires Node.js >= 18. We recommend running via npx so you always get the latest version — no global install needed.
# Login via browser (OAuth)
npx @insforge/cli login
# Or login with email/password
npx @insforge/cli login --email
# Check current user
npx @insforge/cli whoami
# List all organizations and projects
npx @insforge/cli list
# Link current directory to a project
npx @insforge/cli link
# Query the database
npx @insforge/cli db tables
npx @insforge/cli db query "SELECT * FROM users LIMIT 10"
If you run any command without being logged in, the CLI will automatically open your browser and start the login flow — no need to run npx @insforge/cli login first.
npx @insforge/cli login
Opens your browser to the InsForge authorization page using OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code + PKCE. A local callback server receives the authorization code and exchanges it for tokens. Credentials are stored in ~/.insforge/credentials.json.
npx @insforge/cli login --email
Prompts for email and password interactively, or reads from environment variables in non-interactive mode:
INSFORGE_EMAIL=user@example.com INSFORGE_PASSWORD=secret npx @insforge/cli login --email --json
npx @insforge/cli logout
All commands support the following flags:
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--json | Output in JSON format (useful for scripts and AI agents) |
--project-id <id> | Override the linked project ID |
--api-url <url> | Override the Platform API URL |
-y, --yes | Skip confirmation prompts |
npx @insforge/cli whoamiShow the current authenticated user.
npx @insforge/cli whoami
npx @insforge/cli whoami --json
npx @insforge/cli listList all organizations and their projects in a grouped table.
npx @insforge/cli list
npx @insforge/cli list --json
npx @insforge/cli createCreate a new InsForge project interactively.
npx @insforge/cli create
npx @insforge/cli create --name "my-app" --org-id <org-id> --region us-east
npx @insforge/cli linkLink the current directory to an InsForge project. Creates .insforge/project.json with the project ID, API key, and OSS host URL.
# Interactive: select from a list
npx @insforge/cli link
# Non-interactive (platform login)
npx @insforge/cli link --project-id <id> --org-id <org-id>
# OSS / self-hosted: link via host URL + API key (no platform login required)
npx @insforge/cli link \
--api-base-url https://<app-key>.<region>.insforge.app \
--api-key <your-project-api-key>
For OSS or self-hosted deployments, you can link directly using the host URL and API key — the CLI skips the platform OAuth flow and writes the credentials straight into .insforge/project.json. The host URL format is https://{app_key}.{region}.insforge.app (e.g. https://uhzx8md3.us-east.insforge.app).

Running npx @insforge/cli link creates a .insforge/ directory in your project:
.insforge/
└── project.json # project_id, org_id, appkey, region, api_key, oss_host
Add .insforge/ to your .gitignore — it contains your project API key.
Global configuration is stored in ~/.insforge/:
~/.insforge/
├── credentials.json # access_token, refresh_token, user profile
└── config.json # default_org_id, platform_api_url
When you run npx @insforge/cli create or npx @insforge/cli link, the CLI automatically installs a set of InsForge agent skills into your project for all supported AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Roo, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, Qwen, Qoder, Trae, Kilo, Codex, Augment, Antigravity). These skills teach your coding agent how to work with InsForge — database queries, auth, storage, edge functions, realtime, etc. — so it can generate correct code for your backend without you copy-pasting docs.
It also installs find-skills so agents can discover available skills on demand.
Skill files are written to per-agent directories (e.g. .claude/, .cursor/, .windsurf/) and are automatically added to your .gitignore. You can re-run npx @insforge/cli link at any time to reinstall or update skills.
The CLI reports anonymous usage events to PostHog so we can understand which features are being used and prioritize improvements.
Analytics are enabled by default in the published npm package. If you build the CLI from source without setting POSTHOG_API_KEY at build time, analytics become a no-op automatically.
