Mastra Init

The mastra init command helps you add Mastra to an existing project. This command provides an interactive setup process to configure Mastra in your project.

Using the CLI

Install the CLI

First, install the mastra CLI.

npm i -g mastra

yarn i -g mastra

pnpm i -g mastra

Initialize Mastra

To initialize mastra in your project by following the interactive setup, run:

mastra init

Set Up your API Key

Add the API key for your configured LLM provider in your .env file.

OPENAI_API_KEY=<your-openai-key>

Non-Interactive Mode

If you prefer to run the command with flags (non-interactive mode) and include the example code, you can use:

mastra init --dir src/mastra --components agents,tools --llm openai --example

This allows you to specify your preferences upfront without being prompted.
