Backend Design with MCP and AnythingLLM

AnythingLLM Integration

The recommended approach for deploying composed prompts to AnythingLLM is through the Developer API. This creates a seamless, automated pipeline from modular prompt authoring to live workspace updates.

How it works

• Compose prompts using the SQL workflow.
• Export to build directory (.build/anythingllm/)
• Deploy directly to AnythingLLM workspaces via API

The integration uses AnythingLLM's /api/workspace/{workspace_slug}/update endpoint to push your composed system prompts directly into the target workspace. This API-first approach is the best practice as it enables automation, version control, and eliminates manual file management.

CLI Tool Usage

The CLI tool accepts a workspace slug and the path to your composed prompt:

deno run --allow-read --allow-net <script> \
           --slug=<workspace-slug> \
           --file=<prompt_file_pah> \
           --workspaces-url=<AnythingLLM-url>
