mx init

Usage

mx init [--yes]

Detects installed AI coding tools and configures them to use mandex for documentation lookups. Creates the config file at ~/.mandex/config.toml.

Flags

Flag	Description
--yes	Accept all defaults without prompting

What it does

1. Detects AI tools — scans for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and Windsurf
2. Installs integrations — writes rules/skills to each tool’s config location
3. Offers reranker setup — downloads a ~19MB ONNX model for neural reranking of search results
4. Creates config — writes ~/.mandex/config.toml with default settings

Example

$ mx init

  ◇  Detected tools ──────────
  │  ● Claude Code
  │  ● Cursor

  ◇  Installing ──────────────
