agentengine dev up
MongoDB Atlas Agent Engine is in Public Preview and intended for evaluation and prototyping purposes only. We do not recommend production deployments during preview and expect to communicate breaking changes with you periodically. To learn more about preview feature considerations, see Preview Features.
Start the local dev environment.
Synopsis
Start the local development stack.
Hot reload is the default: the app container runs the application processes and file watching restarts them on change. --isolated runs one container per process and needs a rebuild for changes.
--all starts every agent under one UI with shared project services. It supports hot reload only and is rejected with --isolated, --headless, and --with-egress.
The memory-server is configured from the memory: section of a project-config.yaml. A single-agent run uses the nearest one at or above the agent directory, stopping at the repository root, so a workspace file overrides the monorepo root’s. --all reads only the monorepo root’s file. For an agent project, features.memory in agent.yaml also gates whether a memory-server runs. A memory-only project always starts one.
Local egress is on by default. --no-egress skips the CONNECT proxy and opens the internet. --with-egress is a deprecated alias that forces the proxy on.
Agents that declare artifact_repositories get registry auth for private PyPI indexes, resolved from a UV_INDEX_* override, then a .env secret, then a minted AWS CodeArtifact token. --no-artifact-auth leaves UV_INDEX_* credentials to you.
agentengine dev up [flags]
Options
--all Monorepo: start all agents under a single UI
--headless Omit the playground UI service (for CI and automated testing)
-h, --help help for up
--isolated Run each process in its own container to simulate production
--local-sdk string Install SDK from local source instead of pre-built wheels.
Also hot-reloads playground UI (unless --headless) from the same SDK checkout.
Pass the path to the client-libraries checkout root.
--no-artifact-auth Skip auto-configuring registry auth for declared artifact_repositories
--no-cache Build images without Docker layer cache
--no-egress Do not start the local CONNECT proxy (open internet)
--with-egress Force local egress even if preflight would skip (deprecated alias; default is on)
--workspace string Monorepo: target a specific agent by name (from root agent.yaml)
Options inherited from parent commands
--log-file string override log file path
--log-level string file log verbosity (error|warn|info|debug) (default "info")
--no-log disable file logging
-q, --quiet silence stderr below error
-v, --verbose count raise stderr verbosity (-v info, -vv debug)
