CLI overview - Studiograph

The studiograph command-line tool creates and serves workspaces, syncs a local checkout with a server, and handles administration and integrations.

Install

npm install -g @studiograph/server

The npm package is @studiograph/server; the command it installs is studiograph. It requires Node.js 22.19 or later and Git.

Quickstart

studiograph init "My Studio"
cd my-studio
studiograph serve

init creates a workspace — a single Git repository with a .studiograph/ config directory. serve starts the server on port 8000 and opens the web UI; the first visit shows a setup page where you create the owner account.

Command groups

Group	Commands
Workspace basics	`init`, `clone`, `serve`
Sync	`pull`, `push`, `commit`
Admin	`admin token`, `admin user`, `admin folder`, `admin secrets`, `admin settings`, `admin audit`, `admin backup`, `admin restore`, and more
Integrations	`mcp`, `connector`, `r2`
Maintenance	`index`, `lint`, `orphans`, `repair-folders`, `reset`

The user, folder, secrets, settings, and audit commands moved under admin (for example, studiograph admin user add). The old top-level forms still run but print a deprecation warning and will be removed in a future release.
