# flue add

Last updated May 30, 2026 [ View as Markdown](https://flueframework.com/docs/cli/add/index.md) 

## Synopsis

```
flue add
flue add <name> [--print]
flue add <url-or-path> --category <category> [--print]
```

## Description

`flue add` fetches Markdown installation instructions for a coding agent. It does not install packages or write project files itself.

With no arguments, the command lists known connectors. With a connector name, it fetches that connector’s recipe. With `--category`, it fetches a generic recipe and uses the supplied URL or path as the coding agent’s research starting point.

## Arguments

| Argument      | Description                                                         |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| <name>        | Known connector slug or alias.                                      |
| <url-or-path> | Research starting point substituted into a generic category recipe. |

## Options

| Option                 | Description                                                               |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| \--category <category> | Fetch a generic connector recipe. Requires a URL or path argument.        |
| \--print               | Write raw recipe Markdown to stdout regardless of coding-agent detection. |

## Connector categories

| Category | Description                                                      |
| -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| sandbox  | Build a sandbox connector from provider documentation or source. |

Run `flue add` without arguments to list the currently known connector recipes.

## Examples

```
flue add
flue add daytona --print
flue add daytona --print | claude
