Axint

Install

Axint ships as a single scoped npm package: @axint/compiler. It bundles the CLI, the MCP server, and the authoring SDK in one install.

Global install

Terminal window
npm install -g @axint/compiler

After install, the axint binary is on your path:

Terminal window
axint --version        # → 0.2.2
axint --help

Per-project install

If you’d rather pin Axint to a specific project, install it locally and invoke it through your package manager:

Terminal window
npm install --save-dev @axint/compiler
npx @axint/compiler compile intents/SendMessage.intent.ts

Pinning to an exact version is recommended while the compiler is pre-1.0 — the IR schema is stable but diagnostic codes are still growing.

package.json
{
  "devDependencies": {
    "@axint/compiler": "0.2.2"
  }
}

Using it as a library

You can also import compileSource() and the SDK directly from your own TypeScript code — this is how axint.ai powers its in-browser playground.

import { compileSource } from "@axint/compiler";
import { defineIntent, param } from "@axint/compiler/sdk";


const intentSource = `
import { defineIntent, param } from "@axint/compiler/sdk";


export default defineIntent({
  name: "LogWorkoutIntent",
  title: "Log Workout",
  description: "Records a workout session.",
  domain: "health",
  params: { activity: param.string("Activity type") },
});
`;


const result = compileSource(intentSource, "log-workout.ts");
console.log(result.output?.swiftCode);

Deprecated: the unscoped axint package

Version 0.2.0 and earlier published to the unscoped axint name on npm. That package is permanently deprecated — it will not receive updates. If you see:

Terminal window
npm install -g axint    # ← deprecated, do not use

in older tutorials, replace it with the scoped name.
