# AI for Database

> Ask questions, build dashboards, and automate actions from live operational databases. The public REST API is designed for applications and AI agents.

## Canonical agent resources

- [Human agent overview](https://www.aifordatabase.com/agents/)
- [Machine-readable reference](https://www.aifordatabase.com/for-agents/)
- [JSON capability manifest](https://www.aifordatabase.com/api/agents)
- [OpenAPI 3.1 contract](https://app.aifordatabase.com/api/v1/openapi.json)
- [Interactive API reference](https://app.aifordatabase.com/api/v1/docs)
- [Full AI-readable reference](https://www.aifordatabase.com/llms-full.txt)

## CLI

Install the read-only CLI from the official site:

`npm install --global https://www.aifordatabase.com/downloads/aifordatabase-cli-0.1.0.tgz`

Run `aifordatabase --help`, `aifordatabase search authentication`, or `AIFD_API_KEY=... aifordatabase get /connections`. Credentials are sent only to the canonical API host. The CLI supports GET operations only.

## Documentation search

[NLWeb documentation search](https://www.aifordatabase.com/ask/?query=authentication&streaming=false) returns existing documentation references in list mode. GET and POST support JSON responses and optional SSE streaming; this endpoint does not generate answers or access customer databases.

## Documentation tools

- [Read-only documentation MCP](https://www.aifordatabase.com/api/mcp/): Streamable HTTP; search and read existing public documentation.
- [Documentation MCP server card](https://www.aifordatabase.com/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json)

## Authentication

- [Base URL](https://app.aifordatabase.com/api/v1)
- Header: Authorization: Bearer afd_...
- Keys are scoped. Outbound workflow credentials are separate, encrypted, write-only secrets.
