Vist CLI

A command-line client for Vist. Install it with Homebrew, sign in once, and your coding agents and scripts can read and write your notes, tasks and memory from the terminal.

Vist now has a command-line client, vist. Install it with Homebrew and run vist init:

brew install davidheijl/tap/vist
vist init

init signs you in through your browser and writes a short Vist skill for each coding agent it finds: Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor and GitHub Copilot CLI. Your agent can then load your context, search your knowledge base, create tasks and record memories with shell commands, without loading every MCP tool definition into its context.

Every Vist tool as a command. Commands are built from the server's tool list, so new tools show up without a CLI update.
Script-friendly output. JSON when piped, a table in the terminal, stable exit codes.
Bulk reads and writes. --all pages through every result; vist batch runs many operations from a file, checks them first, and can retry only the ones that failed.
Headless use. Set VIST_TOKEN or VIST_API_KEY to skip the browser sign-in in CI or on a server.

Builds are available for macOS, Linux and Windows. The Windows build hasn't been tested yet. Binaries are also on the releases page under the cli-v* tags.

Available on all plans.
