## Create, manage, search AI Search instances with Wrangler CLI

Apr 01, 2026 

[ AI Search ](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ai-search/) 

[AI Search](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ai-search/) supports a `wrangler ai-search` command namespace. Use it to manage instances from the command line.

The following commands are available:

| Command                   | Description                                      |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| wrangler ai-search create | Create a new instance with an interactive wizard |
| wrangler ai-search list   | List all instances in your account               |
| wrangler ai-search get    | Get details of a specific instance               |
| wrangler ai-search update | Update the configuration of an instance          |
| wrangler ai-search delete | Delete an instance                               |
| wrangler ai-search search | Run a search query against an instance           |
| wrangler ai-search stats  | Get usage statistics for an instance             |

The `create` command guides you through setup, choosing a name, source type (`r2` or `web`), and data source. You can also pass all options as flags for non-interactive use:

Terminal window

```

wrangler ai-search create my-instance --type r2 --source my-bucket


```

Use `wrangler ai-search search` to query an instance directly from the CLI:

Terminal window

```

wrangler ai-search search my-instance --query "how do I configure caching?"


```

All commands support `--json` for structured output that scripts and AI agents can parse directly.

For full usage details, refer to the [Wrangler commands documentation](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ai-search/wrangler-commands/).
