Installation

Install MutagenT tools for your development environment.

CLI (Recommended)

The CLI is the primary developer interface for MutagenT. It handles authentication, framework integration, and trace management.

bun add -g @mutagent/cli

Verify Installation

mutagent --version
# @mutagent/cli v0.1.186

Authenticate

After installing, log in to connect the CLI to your MutagenT account. The CLI presents two authentication methods interactively: browser-based OAuth or pasting an API key.

mutagent auth login

You can also specify the authentication method directly:

# Browser-based OAuth flow
mutagent auth login --browser

# Direct API key (for CI/CD pipelines)
export MUTAGENT_API_KEY=mt_xxxxxxxxxxxx
# OR use non-interactive mode:
mutagent auth login --non-interactive

Check your authentication status at any time:

mutagent auth status

For CI/CD environments, set the MUTAGENT_API_KEY environment variable (no login needed). The CLI also respects CI=true and MUTAGENT_NON_INTERACTIVE=true to auto-select browser auth.

See CLI Documentation for full details.

SDK (Optional)

The SDKs provide programmatic access for advanced use cases: direct API access, custom integrations, or scripting.

TypeScript
Python

The TypeScript SDK (@mutagent/sdk v0.2.137):

bun add @mutagent/sdk

import { Mutagent } from '@mutagent/sdk';

const client = new Mutagent({
  security: { apiKey: process.env.MUTAGENT_API_KEY },
});

console.log('MutagenT TypeScript SDK installed successfully');

The Python SDK (mutagent-sdk v0.1.1) — requires Python 3.10+:

pip install mutagent-sdk

from mutagent import Mutagent

client = Mutagent()  # reads MUTAGENT_API_KEY from environment
print('MutagenT Python SDK installed successfully')

See the Python SDK Installation guide for full setup.

Integration Packages

Most developers use integration packages that auto-trace LLM framework calls. Install the one matching your framework.

TypeScript
Python

bun add @mutagent/langchain

You do not need to install integration packages manually if you use mutagent integrate. The CLI generates the integration code and tells you which package to install.
