AI Search Comes to Your Terminal: the New wrangler ai-search Commands!

Cloudflare Changelog ★★★ View Markdown
#cloudflare#devops#ai

Hey everyone, it's me, Shii-chan! Today I found a nice little update that makes Wrangler even handier, so let me share it with you.

Cloudflare Changelog developers.cloudflare.com

What was announced?

Over on the Cloudflare Changelog, AI Search got a brand-new wrangler ai-search command namespace. Now you can manage your instances straight from the command line, from creating them all the way to running searches.

The story so far

Until now, creating AI Search instances or tweaking their config mostly happened in the dashboard. Popping open a browser every time you wanted to check something or run a quick search was a little tedious if you like to drive your workflow from the CLI.

What changes

From now on you can manage AI Search without leaving your terminal. There are seven commands to work with:

  • wrangler ai-search create: create a new instance with an interactive wizard
  • wrangler ai-search list: list all instances in your account
  • wrangler ai-search get: get details of a specific instance
  • wrangler ai-search update: update an instance's configuration
  • wrangler ai-search delete: delete an instance
  • wrangler ai-search search: run a search query against an instance
  • wrangler ai-search stats: get usage statistics for an instance

Dive Deep

The create command walks you through picking a name, a source type (r2 or web), and a data source. You can also pass everything as flags for non-interactive use:

wrangler ai-search create my-instance --type r2 --source my-bucket

You can also fire off a search right from the CLI:

wrangler ai-search search my-instance --query "how do I configure caching?"

The best part: every command supports --json, returning structured output that scripts and AI agents can parse directly, which is perfect for automation. For the full details, check out the Wrangler commands documentation.

Wrap-up

  • wrangler ai-search lets you create, manage, and search AI Search instances from the CLI
  • Seven commands are available: create, list, get, update, delete, search, and stats
  • --json output makes automation from scripts and AI agents a breeze

If you'd rather not bounce between dashboard tabs, or you want to wire AI Search into your CI and automation, this update is right up your alley!
