## Install

Copy the content below into your project:

## Quick Use

```bash
# macOS/Linux/WSL install script
curl -fsSL https://cli.tigerdata.com | sh

tiger auth login
tiger service list
tiger mcp install
```

## Intro

Tiger CLI is the command-line interface for Tiger Cloud, including an integrated MCP server so AI assistants can help manage Postgres services safely.

- **Best for:** DB platform operations with a CLI-first workflow and AI assistance
- **Works with:** Tiger Cloud account; `tiger` CLI; optional MCP server install (per README)
- **Setup time:** 5–15 minutes

## Practical Notes

- GitHub: 107 stars · 9 forks; pushed 2026-05-11 (verified via GitHub API).
- README includes install scripts for macOS/Linux/WSL and Windows, plus `brew install --cask ...` and `go install ...@latest`.
- README quick start includes `tiger auth login`, `tiger service list`, and `tiger mcp install`.

## Main

A good “AI + CLI” pattern:

- Keep the CLI as the source of truth (commands are auditable and replayable).
- Let the agent draft the next command, then you review and run it.
- Persist the command history in your runbook so future incidents start from a known baseline.

If you enable the MCP server, treat it like any other privileged integration: limit scope, log tool calls, and rotate credentials.

### FAQ

**Q: Do I have to use the install script?**
A: No—README lists multiple options including Homebrew, package managers, and `go install`.

**Q: Can I use it without MCP?**
A: Yes—the CLI works standalone; MCP is an optional integration.

**Q: What should I automate first?**
A: Read-only commands like listing services and showing config before create/delete operations.

## 快速使用

```bash
# macOS/Linux/WSL 安装脚本
curl -fsSL https://cli.tigerdata.com | sh

tiger auth login
tiger service list
tiger mcp install
```

## 简介

Tiger CLI 是 Tiger Cloud 的命令行工具：用于管理与查询数据库服务，并内置 MCP server，便于 AI assistant 在可控边界内协助操作与生成更可靠的 Postgres 指令。

- **适合谁：** 用 CLI 管数据库平台，同时让 AI 辅助执行与排障
- **可搭配：** Tiger Cloud 账号；`tiger` CLI；可安装 MCP server（见 README）
- **准备时间：** 5–15 分钟

## 实战建议

- GitHub：107 stars · 9 forks；最近更新 2026-05-11（GitHub API 验证）。
- README 提供 macOS/Linux/WSL 与 Windows 安装脚本，也支持 Homebrew 与 `go install ...@latest`。
- README quick start 包含 `tiger auth login`、`tiger service list`、`tiger mcp install`。

## 主要内容

一个更可靠的“AI + CLI”模式：

- 让 CLI 作为事实来源（命令可审计、可回放）。
- 让 agent 先给出下一条命令，你复核后再执行。
- 把命令历史沉淀到 runbook，下次故障从基线流程开始。

启用 MCP server 后要当作高权限集成管理：限制范围、记录工具调用、定期轮换凭据。

### FAQ

**一定要用安装脚本吗？**
答：不一定。README 还给出 Homebrew、包管理器与 `go install` 等选项。

**不开 MCP 也能用吗？**
答：可以。CLI 可单独使用；MCP 是可选集成。

**优先自动化什么？**
答：先从只读命令开始（列表、查询配置），再考虑创建/删除等写操作。
