algobot-cli

This command guides you through connecting your MCP client to the Algolia MCP server.

Interactive guide to common Algolia MCP usage patterns. Get copy-paste prompts and learn by example.

Install the Algolia CLI and configure a profile with credentials.

Use for anything AI/agent/conversational built on Algolia: algobot CLI, Agent Studio, RAG systems, conversational product discovery, genAI content generation from search results (carousels, descriptions, headers), chatbots or recommendation agents using Algolia as retrieval, config-as-code workflows, multi-environment deploy (dev/staging/prod), memory and personalization, MCP tool integrations, conversation history / GDPR retention, or adding a chat widget alongside InstantSearch. Trigger on: "algobot", "Agent Studio", "RAG with Algolia", "conversational experience", "AI agent" + Algolia, "genAI carousel", "chat widget", or building AI features on top of Algolia search. Do NOT use for raw index ops (records, synonyms, settings) — use algolia-cli. Do NOT use for pure frontend search UI (InstantSearch, autocomplete) with no AI/agent layer.

Use this skill whenever a user wants to execute operations against Algolia indices or accounts — deleting records, copying/migrating indices, backing up data, importing/exporting records, managing API keys, editing synonyms, configuring rules, changing settings like facets, clearing indices, or automating Algolia in CI/CD pipelines. The key signal is that the user wants to *act on* their Algolia data or configuration (server-side / backend / admin operations), regardless of whether they mention "CLI" or "command line." If someone names a specific Algolia index and wants to change, move, query, or manage it, use this skill. Do NOT use for frontend search UI work (InstantSearch, React components, autocomplete widgets), Algolia dashboard GUI questions, or evaluating Algolia vs. other providers.

Search Algolia indices via the Algolia MCP server, retrieve analytics (top searches, no-result rates, click positions, user counts), and get product recommendations (bought-together, related, trending). Triggers on search, indexing, analytics, Algolia, recommendations, MCP.
