Connect your data

After installation, connect your data sources with the CLI. We recommend anythinggraph source add for an interactive setup. You can also configure sources manually by editing profiles/local.yaml and .env.

Use the CLI

Make sure Anything Graph is installed and running:

npm install -g @anythinggraph/cli@latest
anythinggraph onboard --install-daemon
anythinggraph start

Add a source

Run the following command to connect a data source:

anythinggraph source add

The CLI lists all supported adapter types:

  1) PostgreSQL  (sql)
  2) MySQL / MariaDB  (mysql)
  3) SQL Server  (mssql)
  4) MongoDB  (mongodb)
  5) Salesforce  (soql)
  6) CSV file  (csv)
  7) REST / HTTP API  (rest)

Follow the prompts and enter your connection details. For PostgreSQL, a connection string looks like:

postgres://username:password@localhost:5432/postgres

After validation succeeds, you should see a message like:

✓ Found 12 table(s).

List sources

To show all connected sources:

anythinggraph sources

Example output:

sources:
Profile: .anythinggraph/source/profiles/local.yaml

source_id   adapter  status
pg          sql      ok — Found 12 table(s).
payroll_csv csv      ok — Found 4 CSV column(s).

Remove a source

To remove a connected source:

anythinggraph source remove

Manual configuration

Register sources in profiles/local.yaml and set credentials in .env. Credentials should never go in playbooks or bindings. See Connectors for supported adapter types and binding patterns.
