Give your AI agent superpowers. One command. 2,000+ AI models.

SandBase CLI connects AI clients to 2,000+ AI models

Your AI coding assistant is smart, but it's trapped in a box. It can't search the web, check social media, generate images, or access real-time data — unless you wire up each API yourself.

SandBase changes that. One command connects your agent to 2,000+ AI models through the Model Context Protocol. No API keys to manage. No configuration headaches.

npx -y https://github.com/sandbaseai/cli/releases/download/v0.1.17/sandbaseai-cli-0.1.17.tgz connect

Approve the browser authorization once; each supported client can then discover, inspect, and run available SandBase models and APIs through the local MCP bridge.

Want to inspect compatibility before signing in or changing configuration? The current v0.1.17 GitHub release includes a verified 25-client catalog:

npx -y https://github.com/sandbaseai/cli/releases/download/v0.1.17/sandbaseai-cli-0.1.17.tgz catalog --json

The npm latest tag currently serves v0.1.14 while tokenless trusted publishing is being enabled. The GitHub release tarball is built from the immutable v0.1.17 tag; its SHA-256 is published with the release.

For a security-focused walkthrough of client detection, MCP tools, and rollback, read the 25-client SandBase CLI setup guide. AI agents and automated installers can use the concise llms-install.md instructions.

SandBase Open-Source Stack

SandBase Harness — self-hosted agent runtime with persistent sessions, sandbox isolation, approvals, audit, and replay.
SandBase Agent Skills — 88 installable Skills for research, social intelligence, marketing, and business workflows.

Discover the bridge on MCPRepository, MCP Server Hub, MCP Server Spot, or the Awesome AI API Proxy. Install its verified sandbase Agent Skill from skills.sh, or browse the versioned sandbaseai/sandbase snapshot on Agent Skill Hub.

See It In Action

After connecting, just ask your agent naturally. It handles the rest.

The outputs below are illustrative examples of the interaction pattern. Live results, latency, availability, and pricing vary by provider and request; use sandbase_inspect before running a model or API to see its current schema and price.

MCP bridge configured for your client
Agent calls tools on-demand. No daemon. No background process.

Commands

CLI Commands

sandbase connect [--client <name>]    # Authorize + configure
sandbase doctor [--client <name>]     # Health check
sandbase unregister [--client <name>] # Remove configuration
sandbase catalog --json               # List all supported clients

MCP Tools (available to your agent after connecting)

Tool	Purpose
`sandbase_discover`	Search all 2,000+ available AI models
`sandbase_inspect`	Get input schema, pricing, and ready-to-use template
`sandbase_run`	Execute a model or API endpoint
`sandbase_run_get`	Poll status/result of an async run (video gen, etc.)
`sandbase_runs`	List your recent API calls with cost breakdown
`sandbase_account`	Check account balance (free, no cost)

Workflow your agent follows automatically:

discover → inspect → run

1. sandbase_discover(q: "twitter search")        → finds matching tools
2. sandbase_inspect(name: "twitter_timeline")    → gets schema + pricing
3. sandbase_run(name: "twitter_timeline", ...)   → executes and returns data

Security

Zero secrets in URLs or CLI args — OAuth device flow with PKCE
Restricted file permissions — Credentials stored with 0600
Ownership-aware updates — Existing JSONC comments and user-managed MCP entries are preserved
Exact rollback — On failure or unregister, only configuration owned by SandBase is removed
Revoke anytime — One click in the SandBase Dashboard

Get Started

npx -y https://github.com/sandbaseai/cli/releases/download/v0.1.17/sandbaseai-cli-0.1.17.tgz connect

Then ask your agent to do something it couldn't before.
