Quick Install

Run a single command to install Nia: 
npx nia-wizard@latest        # npm
pnpx nia-wizard@latest       # pnpm
bunx nia-wizard@latest       # bun (fastest)
yarn dlx nia-wizard@latest   # yarn
This wizard will:
  • Work for both new and existing users
  • Create your account or log you in
  • Generate your API key automatically
  • Auto-detect and configure your IDE
  • Get you running in under a minute
That’s it! The wizard handles everything - just follow the prompts and you’re done.
Previously installed nia-sync? The deprecated nia-sync package (installed via pip or uv) ships a nia binary that conflicts with the new CLI. Uninstall it before running the wizard:
pip uninstall nia-sync   # or: uv pip uninstall nia-sync
Verify it’s gone:
which nia   # should return nothing or point to the new CLI

curl -fsSL https://app.trynia.ai/cli | sh

Choose Your Setup

There are four ways to connect Nia to your agent. They all give you access to the same Nia platform — they just differ in how the agent talks to it.

CLI

A standalone command-line tool for terminal-based agents and pipelines.
  • Full platform access from the shell
  • JSON output for machine parsing
  • Async jobs with streaming
  • No background processes

MCP Server

The standard approach. Your IDE connects to Nia through the Model Context Protocol — either via a remote server (recommended) or a local process.
  • Native IDE support for 30+ editors
  • Automatic context management
  • Remote server option (zero dependencies)
  • Best for complex, multi-step workflows

Agent Skill

A lightweight alternative. Your agent reads a skill file and calls the Nia API directly — no MCP server or background process needed.
  • Single command install
  • No background processes
  • Works with any agent that supports skills
  • Lighter resource usage, sometimes faster than MCP

agentsearch

Zero-install docs browser. One npx command lets your agent read any docs site through familiar Unix tools.
  • No account, no API key
  • tree, cat, grep, find over any docs URL
  • Pipe straight into Claude Code or CLAUDE.md
  • Perfect ad-hoc front door to Nia
Not sure which to pick? If your agent runs in the terminal (Claude Code, custom pipelines), go with the CLI. If your IDE natively supports MCP, go with the MCP Server. If you want a single skill file with no background process, try the Agent Skill. If you just need an agent to read external docs right now with zero setup, reach for agentsearch.
