Dependencies

ripgrep

Installation

1. Add API keys as an environment variable

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
export GOOGLE_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

2. Run the installation script for the latest version (Linux only at the moment):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/honganh1206/tinker/main/scripts/install.sh | sudo -E bash

MCP

To add MCP servers to tinker:

tinker mcp --server-cmd "my-server:npx @modelcontextprotocol/server-everything"

Breaking Changes

⚠️ WARNING: If you have a running tinker daemon from a previous version, you must purge it before installing the new version:

1. Disable the systemd service:

sudo systemctl disable tinker
sudo systemctl stop tinker

2. Identify the tinker process:

ps aux | grep tinker

3. Kill the process entirely (replace <PID> with the actual process ID):

kill -9 <PID>

4. Remove the service file:

sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/tinker.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload

5. Move the existing conversation.db from ~/.local/.tinker to ~/.tinker and rename the database to tinker.db

Development

make serve # Run the server
make # Run the agent
