aigateway-cli — aig

Official command-line tool for AIgateway — one API key, every model, every modality. Installs the aig binary.

npm i -g aigateway-cli     # or: npx aigateway-cli init
aig init                   # prompts for key, writes .env, scaffolds a starter file

Node 18+. Zero runtime dependencies. ESM-only.

Examples

# First call after `aig init`
aig call moonshot/kimi-k2.6 "explain edge inference in 50 words"

# List the catalog
aig models --modality text
aig models --json > catalog.json

# Mint a per-customer key
aig sub-account create acme-corp --cap 50000 --rpm 300 --tag acme

# Run an eval
aig eval run prompts.jsonl anthropic/claude-opus-4.7,openai/gpt-5.4,moonshot/kimi-k2.6

# Tail live traffic, filter to errors
aig tail --filter status=error

# Inspect MCP without booting an agent
aig mcp tools
aig mcp call list_models

Configuration

Config lives at ~/.config/aigateway/config.json (mode 0600).

Source	Wins
AIGATEWAY_API_KEY env var	highest
~/.config/aigateway/config.json	fallback

# Override per call
AIGATEWAY_API_KEY=sk-aig-other aig models

# Override base URL (for self-hosted deploys)
AIGATEWAY_BASE_URL=https://aig.internal aig models

aig init is idempotent. Re-running it asks before overwriting. Pass --key sk-aig-... for non-interactive setup (CI):

AIGATEWAY_API_KEY=sk-aig-... aig init --no-scaffold
