Documentation Overview

airstrings

Command-line interface for AirStrings — manage strings, locales, bundles, and publishing from the terminal.

Install

npm (any platform)

Terminal

npm install -g @airstrings/cli
airstrings <command>

Requires Node 18+. Installs airstrings and airstrings-mcp.

Homebrew (macOS / Linux)

bash

brew install symbionix-sl/airstrings/airstrings

From source

bash

go install github.com/symbionix-sl/airstrings-cli/cmd/airstrings@latest

Build locally

bash

git clone git@github.com:symbionix-sl/airstrings-cli.git
cd airstrings-cli
go build -o airstrings ./cmd/airstrings

Setup

Initialize a workspace in your project directory:

bash

cd my-project
airstrings init ask_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx

This validates the key, auto-detects your project and environments, and stores everything in .airstrings/config.json. Each project has its own workspace — no shared global config.

Environments

bash

airstrings env                      # list environments (✓ = active)
airstrings env use staging          # switch to staging
airstrings env add <api-key>        # add credentials for another environment
airstrings env rm staging           # remove environment credentials
airstrings -e -u staging            # shorthand for env use
airstrings status                   # show current project, env, and key

Usage

Code

airstrings <command> [options]

Project & Environments

bash

airstrings project                  # Show project info
airstrings env                      # List environments
airstrings env use staging          # Switch active environment
airstrings env create staging       # Create a new environment
airstrings locales                  # List locales with string counts

Strings

strings set and strings rm are local-first: they edit the workspace CSVs and never call the API unless --push is given.

bash

airstrings strings list                          # List all strings (remote)
airstrings strings list --locale en --limit 50   # Filter by locale
airstrings strings ls --local                    # List local workspace strings (offline, no credentials)
airstrings strings ls --local --section onboarding   # List one section, offline
airstrings strings get welcome.title             # Get a single string (remote)
airstrings strings set welcome.title en="Hello" es="Hola" --format text   # Write to local CSVs
airstrings strings set app.name en="My App" --format text --push     # Also upsert to the API
airstrings strings rm old.unused.key             # Remove from local CSVs
airstrings strings rm old.unused.key --push      # Also delete from the API
airstrings strings rm welcome.title --locale es --push   # Remove one locale, locally and remotely

Sections

bash

airstrings sections list
airstrings sections create onboarding --description "Onboarding flow strings"
airstrings sections delete sec_xxxxx

Bundles & Publishing

bash

airstrings bundles                  # List published bundles
airstrings publish                  # Publish all locales
airstrings publish en es            # Publish specific locales

Offline-safe builds

Ship published bundles inside your app so SDKs can serve strings with no network — cold offline starts, SSG/SSR builds, CI:

bash

airstrings bundles pull

This downloads the published, signed bundles for the active environment into airstrings/bundles/ at the workspace root (plus a manifest.json provenance record), verifying every Ed25519 signature before writing. Commit the folder:

bash

git add airstrings/bundles
git commit -m "chore: update bundled fallback strings"

SDKs detect the folder automatically and seed from it on startup, re-verifying every bundle before use. Run the pull in CI or as a pre-release step to keep the committed snapshot fresh.

bash

airstrings bundles pull dist/seed         # custom output dir (persisted to workspace config)
airstrings bundles pull --locale en-US    # restrict to one locale

Not the same as airstrings pull: pull fetches draft workspace strings as editable CSVs for the editing workflow, while bundles pull fetches published, signed bundles — immutable delivery artifacts for shipping. The two never share an output location.

Import

server.ts

airstrings import csv strings.csv   # Import strings from CSV
airstrings import status imp_xxxxx  # Check import progress

Workspace

The workspace workflow lets you manage strings locally and sync with the API. This is the recommended workflow for AI-assisted string management.

bash

# Initialize workspace
airstrings init ask_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx

# Add strings locally (no API calls)
airstrings strings set onboarding.welcome en="Welcome!" it="Benvenuto!" --format text --section onboarding
airstrings strings set onboarding.welcome de="Willkommen!" es="¡Bienvenido!" fr="Bienvenue!" --format text --section onboarding
airstrings strings set app.tagline en="The best app" it="La migliore app" --format text

# List local strings (offline, no credentials)
airstrings strings ls --local
airstrings strings ls --local --section onboarding

# Edit and remove
airstrings strings set onboarding.welcome en="Welcome to the app!" --format text --section onboarding
airstrings strings rm old.key --section onboarding

# Sync a single key immediately while editing
airstrings strings set app.tagline en="The best app" --format text --push

# Push everything to AirStrings
airstrings push
airstrings push --section onboarding   # push single section

# Pull remote strings to local
airstrings pull

The airstrings init command creates a .airstrings/ folder in your project root:

Code

.airstrings/
  config.json              # workspace config (credentials, project, active env)
  strings.csv              # unsectioned strings
  onboarding/onboarding.csv  # section strings
  settings/settings.csv

Each section gets its own subdirectory with a CSV file. Unsectioned strings live in the root strings.csv. All files are plain CSV and can be committed to version control.

MCP Server

AirStrings provides an MCP server so AI assistants like Claude can manage strings directly through structured tool calls.

bash

airstrings mcp install                  # for Claude Code
airstrings mcp install --claude-desktop # for Claude Desktop
airstrings mcp status                   # check installation

That's it. Restart Claude and the tools are available.

Example: AI-assisted localization

Code

You: "Translate my app's onboarding screen into Italian, German, Spanish, and French"

Claude uses airstrings_strings_set:
  key: "onboarding.welcome"
  values: {"it": "Benvenuto!", "de": "Willkommen!", "es": "¡Bienvenido!", "fr": "Bienvenue!"}
  section: "onboarding"

Claude uses airstrings_strings_set:
  key: "onboarding.subtitle"
  values: {"it": "Inizia il tuo viaggio", "de": "Beginne deine Reise", "es": "Comienza tu viaje", "fr": "Commencez votre voyage"}
  section: "onboarding"

Claude uses airstrings_push:
  section: "onboarding"

-> Pushed 2 strings (0 errors)
   Sections: onboarding

Instead of generating CSV files, the AI calls structured MCP tools -- one call per string. This saves tokens and eliminates CSV formatting errors.

Available MCP tools

Tool	Description
`airstrings_init`	Initialize workspace
`airstrings_strings_set`	Add/update string in local CSV (optional `push` to sync the key to the API immediately)
`airstrings_strings_rm`	Remove string from local CSV (optional `push` to mirror the removal to the API immediately)
`airstrings_strings_ls`	List local strings
`airstrings_push`	Push local strings to API
`airstrings_pull`	Pull remote strings to local
`airstrings_publish`	Publish bundles to CDN

JSON Output

Add --json to any command for machine-readable output:

bash

airstrings strings list --json
airstrings project --json | jq '.name'

Configuration

Config is stored per-project in .airstrings/config.json (like .git/config). No global config — each workspace is self-contained with its own credentials and active environment.

bash

airstrings init <api-key> [--url <base-url>]      # create workspace and authenticate
airstrings env add <api-key> [--url <base-url>]   # add environment credentials
airstrings env rm <name>                          # remove environment credentials
airstrings env use <name>                         # switch environment
airstrings status                                 # show active context

The workspace is found by walking up the directory tree, so commands work from any subdirectory.

airstrings strings rm welcome.title --locale es --push   # Remove one locale, locally and remotely

Sections

bash

airstrings sections list
airstrings sections create onboarding --description "Onboarding flow strings"
airstrings sections delete sec_xxxxx

Bundles & Publishing

bash

airstrings bundles                  # List published bundles
airstrings publish                  # Publish all locales
airstrings publish en es            # Publish specific locales

Offline-safe builds

Ship published bundles inside your app so SDKs can serve strings with no network — cold offline starts, SSG/SSR builds, CI:

bash

airstrings bundles pull

bash

git add airstrings/bundles
git commit -m "chore: update bundled fallback strings"

SDKs detect the folder automatically and seed from it on startup, re-verifying every bundle before use. Run the pull in CI or as a pre-release step to keep the committed snapshot fresh.

bash

airstrings bundles pull dist/seed         # custom output dir (persisted to workspace config)
airstrings bundles pull --locale en-US    # restrict to one locale

Import

server.ts

airstrings import csv strings.csv   # Import strings from CSV
airstrings import status imp_xxxxx  # Check import progress

Workspace

The workspace workflow lets you manage strings locally and sync with the API. This is the recommended workflow for AI-assisted string management.

bash

# Initialize workspace
airstrings init ask_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx

# Add strings locally (no API calls)
airstrings strings set onboarding.welcome en="Welcome!" it="Benvenuto!" --format text --section onboarding
airstrings strings set onboarding.welcome de="Willkommen!" es="¡Bienvenido!" fr="Bienvenue!" --format text --section onboarding
airstrings strings set app.tagline en="The best app" it="La migliore app" --format text

# List local strings (offline, no credentials)
airstrings strings ls --local
airstrings strings ls --local --section onboarding

# Edit and remove
airstrings strings set onboarding.welcome en="Welcome to the app!" --format text --section onboarding
airstrings strings rm old.key --section onboarding

# Sync a single key immediately while editing
airstrings strings set app.tagline en="The best app" --format text --push

# Push everything to AirStrings
airstrings push
airstrings push --section onboarding   # push single section

# Pull remote strings to local
airstrings pull

The airstrings init command creates a .airstrings/ folder in your project root:

Code

.airstrings/
  config.json              # workspace config (credentials, project, active env)
  strings.csv              # unsectioned strings
  onboarding/onboarding.csv  # section strings
  settings/settings.csv

Each section gets its own subdirectory with a CSV file. Unsectioned strings live in the root strings.csv. All files are plain CSV and can be committed to version control.

MCP Server

AirStrings provides an MCP server so AI assistants like Claude can manage strings directly through structured tool calls.

bash

airstrings mcp install                  # for Claude Code
airstrings mcp install --claude-desktop # for Claude Desktop
airstrings mcp status                   # check installation

That's it. Restart Claude and the tools are available.

Example: AI-assisted localization

Code

You: "Translate my app's onboarding screen into Italian, German, Spanish, and French"

Claude uses airstrings_strings_set:
  key: "onboarding.welcome"
  values: {"it": "Benvenuto!", "de": "Willkommen!", "es": "¡Bienvenido!", "fr": "Bienvenue!"}
  section: "onboarding"

Claude uses airstrings_strings_set:
  key: "onboarding.subtitle"
  values: {"it": "Inizia il tuo viaggio", "de": "Beginne deine Reise", "es": "Comienza tu viaje", "fr": "Commencez votre voyage"}
  section: "onboarding"

Claude uses airstrings_push:
  section: "onboarding"

-> Pushed 2 strings (0 errors)
   Sections: onboarding

Instead of generating CSV files, the AI calls structured MCP tools -- one call per string. This saves tokens and eliminates CSV formatting errors.

Available MCP tools

Tool	Description
`airstrings_init`	Initialize workspace
`airstrings_strings_set`	Add/update string in local CSV (optional `push` to sync the key to the API immediately)
`airstrings_strings_rm`	Remove string from local CSV (optional `push` to mirror the removal to the API immediately)
`airstrings_strings_ls`	List local strings
`airstrings_push`	Push local strings to API
`airstrings_pull`	Pull remote strings to local
`airstrings_publish`	Publish bundles to CDN

JSON Output

Add --json to any command for machine-readable output:

bash

airstrings strings list --json
airstrings project --json | jq '.name'

Configuration

Config is stored per-project in .airstrings/config.json (like .git/config). No global config — each workspace is self-contained with its own credentials and active environment.

bash

airstrings init <api-key> [--url <base-url>]      # create workspace and authenticate
airstrings env add <api-key> [--url <base-url>]   # add environment credentials
airstrings env rm <name>                          # remove environment credentials
airstrings env use <name>                         # switch environment
airstrings status                                 # show active context

The workspace is found by walking up the directory tree, so commands work from any subdirectory.
