You don't need a separate application DB, relational DB, vector DB, graph DB, or application layers to manage the multiple storage locations. HelixDB gives your agents federated access to company data, for memory, company brains, and applications. Helix primarily operates with a graph + vector data model, but it also supports KV, documents, and relational data. ## Getting Started ### 1. Install the CLI The Helix CLI runs and manages local instances and talks to Helix Cloud. ```bash curl -sSL "https://install.helix-db.com" | bash ``` Already installed? Update to the latest version with `helix update`. ### 2. The quickest path — `helix chef` `helix chef` is an interactive, one-shot bootstrapper. It installs the HelixDB query skills and docs MCP, scaffolds a project, starts a local instance, seeds some example data, and writes a `HELIX_CHEF_PROMPT.md`. If a coding agent is available (Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode), it can hand off and build a working app — frontend and all — from a one-line description of what you want. ```bash helix chef ``` That's it — no flags. Answer "what do you want to build?" and follow the prompts. ### 3. Manual local setup If you'd rather wire things up yourself: 1. **Initialize a project.** This scaffolds `helix.toml`, a `.helix/` workspace dir, and a ready-to-run `examples/request.json`. ```bash mkdir my-helix-app && cd my-helix-app helix init ``` 2. **Start a local instance.** Runs a background container on port `6969` and waits until it accepts queries. ```bash helix start dev ``` > ⚠️ The default storage mode is **in-memory** — stopping the instance wipes its data. Use `helix start dev --disk` to persist data across restarts, or `--foreground` to stream logs. 3. **Send a query.** ```bash helix query dev --file examples/request.json ``` 4. **Stop the instance when you're done.** ```bash helix stop dev ``` ## Writing queries with the SDKs Queries are authored with the Rust, TypeScript, Go, or Python DSL and sent straight to a running instance as dynamic requests against `POST /v1/query` — no build or deploy step. The SDKs produce the same JSON AST. The examples below talk to a local instance on `http://localhost:6969` (the default `helix start dev` port). See the [Querying Guide](https://docs.helix-db.com/database/querying-guide/overview) for the full builder catalog and the dynamic-query wire format. ### Rust Ins
