Quickstart

Install Ancher for your coding agent or your terminal, and run your first request.

For a coding agent

Run this on the computer where you use your coding agent:

bash

npx -y @ancher-ai/agent-skills install

Then sign in for the agent you use — see MCP & sign-in. After signing in, restart Codex or open a new agent session and ask:

Search my Ancher notes for the decisions about this project.

Requires Node 24+.

bash

npm install -g @ancher-ai/cli
ancher login
ancher chat "what did I save about vector databases?"

ancher login runs an OAuth2 Authorization Code + PKCE flow in your browser and saves the session locally. Confirm it worked:

bash

ancher whoami
