JSON
kiwifs import --from json \
--file data.json \
--prefix items/
[
{"name": "Item A", "status": "active"},
{"name": "Item B", "status": "draft"}
]
JSONL
kiwifs import --from jsonl \
--file data.jsonl \
--prefix items/
{"name": "Item A", "status": "active"}
{"name": "Item B", "status": "draft"}
MCP usage
File imports are available via the kiwi_import MCP tool:
{
"tool": "kiwi_import",
"arguments": {
"from": "csv",
"file": "/path/to/data.csv",
"prefix": "people/"
}
}
MCP file imports require local mode (kiwifs mcp --root). The file path must be accessible to the KiwiFS process.
Column filtering
Use --columns to import only specific fields:
kiwifs import --from csv --file data.csv --columns "name,email,status" --prefix people/
