Agent integrations

Uninstall

Remove Pax editor integrations and project state without deleting your source code.

1 min readUpdated

Uninstall Pax when you want a clean project or need to remove agent integrations. Pax only deletes files and config blocks it owns.

What you will learn

  • Instruction blocks between Pax markers are removed
  • User content outside markers is retained
  • .pax/ removal requires explicit --yes
  • Reversible: run paxfx init again anytime

Remove editor integrations

paxfx integrations status
paxfx uninstall integrations --yes

Removes MCP server entries and Pax-owned sections from AGENTS.md, Cursor rules, and similar host files. Backups live in .pax/backups/ when init merged into existing files.

Remove project state

paxfx uninstall pax --yes

Deletes .pax/ and related manifest entries. Does not remove blocks or effects you already copied into components/.

Verify cleanup

paxfx integrations status
ls -la .pax 2>&1 || echo "No .pax directory"

Expected result

Integrations status shows nothing installed. .pax/ is absent unless you skipped project uninstall. Your application source is unchanged.

What stays

ItemAfter uninstall
Copied blocks/effects in your repoKept
Lines you added to AGENTS.md outside markersKept
.pax/backups/Kept until you delete manually
npm dependencies you added for PaxKept; remove manually if desired

Reinstall
