Command Line Interface
The xovis-sdk includes a powerful CLI for offline type generation and documentation compliance checks.
Usage
xovis-cli [COMMAND] [OPTIONS]
Commands
warmup
Synchronizes proprietary resources from a physical Xovis sensor to the local environment.
What it does:
- Downloads the OpenAPI schema into
_local_resources/schemas/{fw_version}/api.yaml(e.g.,_local_resources/schemas/5-9-2/api.yaml). - Exports the current Host State (MACs, names, capabilities) to
_local_resources/states/(device_state.jsonandstate_{ip}.json). - Populates structured directories under
_local_resources/for offline use by the SDK and AI agents (schemas/{fw_version}/,schemas/hub/,states/,samples/).
Options:
host: (Positional) IP address of the sensor.--user: Username (default:admin).--pass: Password (default:pass).--force: Overwrite existing local schemas.
warmup-hub
[HUB] Performs a Cloud-level synchronization to fetch fleet-wide resources.
What it does:
- Downloads the HUB OpenAPI schemas (Devices, Licenses).
- Exports the entire Hub Fleet State to a local persistence file.
- Enables AI agents to reason about the fleet without constant cloud round-trips.
Options:
--client-id: HUB OAuth2 Client ID.--client-secret: HUB OAuth2 Client Secret.--force: Overwrite existing local schemas.
generate-types
Parses an offline HostStateBucket cache and generates strict Python Literal types for IDE autocompletion.
Options:
--source: Path to the cache JSON (auto-detected; prioritizes_local_resources/states/and falls back todevice_state.json).--output: Target Python file path.--device: Unified target argument accepting an IP or MAC address. Replaces--hostand--hub-device.--via-hub: Optional boolean flag to explicitly route the connection through the Xovis Hub Cloud tunnel.--dry-run: Analyze without writing to disk.
probe
Quick hardware status check. Retrieves model, MAC, firmware, and operational status.
sync-models
Syncs Pydantic models from a physical device for a specific version tag (e.g., v5_9_2).
mcp
Launches the Xovis MCP Server for integration with Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Windsurf.
- --log-file <path>: Optional path to a log file for the MCP Server.
- --daemon: Start the MCP Server in the background as a daemon.
- --tool-limit <limit>: Optional limit for the number of tools exposed (default: 90, 0 to disable).
hub
Orchestrates Xovis HUB Cloud fleet operations (e.g., list-devices).
discovery
Internal tool to analyze firmware drift and identify unknown API fields via agentic semantic analysis.
setup
Launches the guided SDK setup wizard for initial configuration.
ui
Launches the Xovis Mission Control TUI, the primary visual interface for SDK orchestration.
Core Capabilities:
- Interactive Device Discovery: Scan local networks and Cloud HUB fleets to identify active sensors.
- State Bucket Management: Select multiple sensors and group them into named
HostStateBucketinstances. These buckets are persisted locally and serve as the primary configuration source for the SDK. - Topology Detection: Visually verify and generate topology graphs for multisensor environments.
- Localized Caching: Automatically manages state and resource caches for selected devices to ensure offline-first performance.
- AI Scope Control: Toggle the "AI Security" whitelist (
ctrl+a) to restrict which devices are visible to autonomous agents.
datapush (alias: studio)
Launches the interactive Datapush Studio TUI to monitor DataPush stream throughput and frame integrity. This tool supports autonomous sensor provisioning directly from the UI for TCP, UDP, and HTTP protocols.
Figure: Xovis-SDK Datapush Studio Screen.
Options:
--port: Listen port (default: 9000).--protocol: Transport protocol (TCP,UDP, orHTTP).--agent-type: The type of DataPush agent to provision (default:LIVE_DATA).--pass: Password (default:pass).--host: Optional: Sensor IP for auto-provisioning.
generate-rules
Generates a .cursorrules file to guide AI agents in respecting the SDK's quadrifurcated architecture.
docs
SDK documentation management commands.
Subcommands:
check-docstrings: Scans the codebase for "Max-Docstring" compliance, ensuring all public methods have Google-style docstrings (The Receipt).serve: Scans, builds, and serves the local SDK Markdown documentation.
Xovis SDK - CLI Tools
Operates within the Developer Experience (DX) boundary of the State & Topology Plane.
Provides offline static type generation by parsing serialized HostStateBucket
JSON representations and synthesizing strict Python typing.Literal structures.
Features zero-dependency ANSI color output, generation analytics, and dry-run safety.
