ign — operate Ignition 8.3+ gateways from the terminal

Documentation · Releases · Issues

One binary that lets a developer (or an AI agent) fully operate and inspect an Ignition 8.3+ gateway — health, projects, tags, rigs — without opening the gateway webpage or Designer. Every subcommand is non-interactive by default and scriptable with JSON output; ign tui (below) is the interactive cockpit over the same actions layer. v1.1 completes the agent surface end to end: ign api call passthrough + curated daily checks, guarded EAM write lifecycle with blast-radius preview, byte-faithful XML/CSV tag transfer, a workspace checkout / ign edit round-trip, and protocol transports — MCP (ign mcp serve) and LSP (ign lsp) — so agents and editors drive the same binary humans do.
