Keenable CLI

keenable is a single-binary CLI for Keenable's web search and content APIs. Search and fetch work without login on a free tier; logging in raises rate limits. Default output is YAML, designed to be parsed by agents.

Installation

Homebrew (macOS / Linux):

brew install keenableai/tap/keenable-cli

Installer script (macOS / Linux, installs to ~/.cargo/bin or ~/.local/bin; two steps so no pipe is needed):

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf -o /tmp/keenable-install.sh \
  https://github.com/keenableai/keenable-cli/releases/latest/download/keenable-cli-installer.sh
sh /tmp/keenable-install.sh

The installer updates PATH for future shells only. To use keenable in the current shell, source the env file it wrote (or restart the shell). Sourcing both covers either install dir — ~/.cargo/env may exist from rustup even when keenable went to ~/.local/bin:

[ -f "$HOME/.cargo/env" ] && . "$HOME/.cargo/env"
[ -f "$HOME/.local/bin/env" ] && . "$HOME/.local/bin/env"

Windows (PowerShell):

Invoke-WebRequest -OutFile $env:TEMP\keenable-install.ps1 `
  https://github.com/keenableai/keenable-cli/releases/latest/download/keenable-cli-installer.ps1
& $env:TEMP\keenable-install.ps1

From source: cargo install --git https://github.com/keenableai/keenable-cli

Verify with keenable --version. Update via brew upgrade keenable-cli or by re-running the installer.

Authentication (optional)

# Device-code flow: prints a link + code for the user to approve. Works in headless/agent environments.
keenable login
# Save an API key directly (CI, servers)
keenable login --api-key keen_***
# Clear credentials from ~/.keenable/
keenable logout

Any command also accepts --api-key <KEY>, overriding the stored key.

Configure MCP in AI clients

Supported clients: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex, OpenCode.

# Show which clients are detected/configured
keenable configure-mcp
# Configure all detected clients
keenable configure-mcp --all
# One client (also: --cursor, --codex, ...)
keenable configure-mcp --claude-code
# Remove Keenable MCP, restore defaults
keenable reset --all

Search

# YAML output (for agents)
keenable search "rust async patterns"
# Pretty output (for humans)
keenable search "rust async patterns" -p
# Restrict to one site
keenable search "anthropic" --site techcrunch.com
# Date filter
keenable search "AI news" --published-after 2026-05-01

Date filters — --published-after/-before (publication date), --acquired-after/-before (index date) — accept YYYY-MM-DD, ISO 8601 datetimes, or relative values (12h, 7d, 3mo, 1y).

Each YAML result has title, url, description, snippet, published_at, acquired_at.
