OpenCLI

Make any website your CLI.
Zero risk · Reuse Chrome login · AI-powered discovery

中文文档

A CLI tool that turns any website into a command-line interface. 28+ commands across 16 sites — bilibili, zhihu, xiaohongshu, twitter, reddit, github, v2ex, hackernews, bbc, weibo, boss, yahoo-finance, reuters, smzdm, ctrip, youtube — powered by browser session reuse and AI-native discovery.

✨ Highlights

• 🔐 Account-safe — Reuses Chrome's logged-in state; your credentials never leave the browser
• 🤖 AI Agent ready — explore discovers APIs, synthesize generates adapters, cascade finds auth strategies
• 📝 Declarative YAML — Most adapters are ~30 lines of YAML pipeline
• 🔌 TypeScript escape hatch — Complex adapters (XHR interception, GraphQL) in TS

🚀 Quick Start

Install via npm (recommended)

npm install -g @jackwener/opencli

Then use directly:

opencli list                              # See all commands
opencli hackernews top --limit 5          # Public API, no browser
opencli bilibili hot --limit 5            # Browser command
opencli zhihu hot -f json                 # JSON output

Install from source

git clone [e-mail]:jackwener/opencli.git
cd opencli && npm install
npx tsx src/main.ts list

Update

# npm global
npm update -g @jackwener/opencli

# Or reinstall to latest
npm install -g @jackwener/opencli@latest

📋 Prerequisites

Browser commands need:

• Chrome running and logged into the target site (e.g. bilibili.com, zhihu.com, xiaohongshu.com)
• Playwright MCP Bridge extension installed
• Configure PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_EXTENSION_TOKEN (from the extension settings page) in your MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "playwright": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@playwright/mcp@latest", "--extension"],
      "env": {
        "PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_EXTENSION_TOKEN": "<your-token>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Public API commands (hackernews, github search, v2ex) need no browser at all.

⚠️ Important: Browser commands reuse your Chrome login session. You must be logged into the target website in Chrome before running commands. If you get empty data or errors, check your login status first.

🧠 AI Agent Workflow

# 1. Deep Explore — discover APIs, infer capabilities, detect framework
opencli explore https://example.com --site mysite

# 2. Synthesize — generate YAML adapters from explore artifacts
opencli synthesize mysite

# 3. Generate — one-shot: explore → synthesize → register
opencli generate https://example.com --goal "hot"

# 4. Strategy Cascade — auto-probe: PUBLIC → COOKIE → HEADER
opencli cascade https://api.example.com/data

Explore outputs to .opencli/explore/<site>/:

• manifest.json — site metadata, framework detection
• endpoints.json — scored API endpoints with response schemas
• capabilities.json — inferred capabilities with confidence scores
• auth.json — authentication strategy recommendations
