Read and integration

This page groups the commands used to read indexed content and expose it to agent clients.

ls

Use ls to list indexed files in a collection:

kbolt ls my_docs
kbolt ls my_docs guides/

Useful option:

  • --all: include deactivated files

get

Use get to read one indexed document by collection-relative path or docid:

kbolt get my_docs/path/to/file.md
kbolt get '#abc123'

Useful options:

  • --offset <OFFSET>
  • --limit <LIMIT>

multi-get

Use multi-get to read multiple documents within file-count and byte budgets:

kbolt multi-get my_docs/a.md,my_docs/b.md

Useful options:

  • --max-files
  • --max-bytes

mcp

Use mcp to start the MCP server for agent integration:

kbolt mcp

This command is usually launched by the MCP client rather than typed by hand in a normal terminal session.
