Early Access - Coming 2026The KDX CLI is currently in early access and under active development. Features, commands, and configuration may change before general availability. We welcome your feedback as we refine this tool.

​
What is KDX CLI?

kdx is a modern, kubectl-style command-line interface for the Kodexa AI Platform. It provides a powerful and familiar interface for developers, DevOps engineers, and platform administrators to manage Kodexa resources directly from the terminal. Unlike traditional CLIs, kdx dynamically discovers available resources and operations from your platform’s OpenAPI specification, ensuring it always stays in sync with your Kodexa environment.

​
Key Capabilities

Dynamic Resource Discovery

Automatically discovers resources from your platform’s OpenAPI spec with on-demand cache refresh

Profile Management

Profile-aware authentication stored in ~/.kodexa/config.yaml with seamless profile switching

Schema Validation

Schema-aware validation for create, apply, and plugin commands to catch errors early

GitOps Sync

Metadata synchronization with offline validation for feature types and instances

Multiple Output Modes

Interactive tview table, JSON, and YAML outputs for any workflow

Extensible Plugins

Plugin architecture for resource-specific workflows like workspace exec and store reindex

​
Who Should Use KDX CLI?

The KDX CLI is designed for:
  • Developers building applications on the Kodexa platform who need quick resource access
  • DevOps Engineers managing multi-environment deployments with GitOps workflows
  • Platform Administrators performing operational tasks like reindexing stores or checking workspace status
  • Automation Engineers scripting Kodexa operations in CI/CD pipelines

​
Why KDX CLI?

​
Kubectl-Style Interface

If you’re familiar with kubectl, you’ll feel right at home. The CLI follows established patterns with commands like get, describe, create, apply, and delete.

​
Stay in Sync

Because kdx reads your platform’s OpenAPI specification, it automatically adapts to new resource types and operations as your platform evolves.

​
Catch Errors Early

Request validation happens before API calls, providing immediate feedback on malformed YAML or missing required fields.

​
GitOps Ready

Built-in metadata sync commands enable version-controlled infrastructure and promote-to-production workflows across environments.
