COMMAND LINE

ContextMint CLI

Available today: contextmint serve starts the FastAPI backend. Most operators use ContextMint Engine (tray app) for lifecycle instead of raw CLI. Extended automation commands are on the roadmap.

Shipped in v1.0

# Start API server (default port 8000)
contextmint serve

# Custom host / port / debug reload
contextmint serve --host 127.0.0.1 --port 9000 --debug
  • Registered console script in the Python package (pyproject.toml)
  • Engine supervisor wraps the same entry for managed installs
  • Lifecycle (start/stop Ollama, updates) → python -m engine.supervisor.main or

Planned commands (roadmap)
