CLI-Anything-Web is a Claude Code plugin that generates production-grade Python CLIs for any web application by capturing its live HTTP traffic. Point it at a URL, and get a fully working CLI on your PATH — with auth, REPL mode, --json output, and tests.

[!WARNING] Experimental Project — Use Responsibly

This project uses undocumented web APIs reverse-engineered from live HTTP traffic. These APIs can change without notice.

• Not affiliated with any website — This is an independent open-source project
• APIs may break — Websites can change their internal endpoints, HTML structure, or add protections at any time
• Respect rate limits — Generated CLIs include exponential backoff, but heavy usage may be throttled
• For personal use — Best suited for prototyping, automation, research, and personal productivity

Generated CLIs interact with real production services. Use them responsibly and in accordance with each website's terms of service.

💡 The Idea

Most web apps don't have public APIs. CLI-Anything-Web changes that:

No API docs needed. No reverse-engineering by hand. Just point and generate.

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

Install the Plugin

# Inside Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add ItamarZand88/CLI-Anything-WEB
/plugin install cli-anything-web
/reload-plugins

Generate Your First CLI

/cli-anything-web https://your-favorite-website.com

The agent opens a browser, asks you to log in if needed, captures traffic, and generates a complete CLI. That's it.

📦 Examples

20 real CLIs generated by the plugin — shipped as reference implementations:

Agent-Native: Claude uses the CLIs automatically

Every generated CLI comes with a skill file (.claude/skills/<app>-cli/SKILL.md) that Claude Code loads automatically. The skill tells Claude exactly how to use the CLI — every command, every option, every output format. When you ask Claude a question like "find me a hotel in Paris", it reads the booking skill and runs cli-web-booking search find "Paris" on its own.

Each skill includes:

• All available commands with arguments and options
• Output format for each command
• Auth requirements and setup instructions
• Common agent patterns (piping, filtering, chaining commands)

MCP Server Mode: every CLI is also an MCP server

Every generated CLI doubles as a Model Context Protocol server — run cli-web-<app> mcp-serve and any MCP client (Claude Desktop, IDEs, other agents) gets every command as a typed MCP tool, with input schemas derived from the CLI's own options and the standard --json envelope as tool output:

// e.g. in an MCP client config
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hackernews": { "command": "cli-web-hackernews", "args": ["mcp-serve"] }
  }
}

No extra dependencies, no separate server code — the adapter walks the Click command tree at startup, so new commands automatically become new tools.

Every CLI also ships a doctor command (cli-web-<app> doctor [--json]) that diagnoses the local setup — install, Python version, auth file and its permissions, optional dependencies — before you ever need to open an issue.

⚙️ How It Works

🔗 Inspiration

This project is directly inspired by CLI-Anything by HKUDS — a Claude Code plugin that makes desktop software (GIMP, Blender, LibreOffice, OBS Studio) agent-native by analyzing source code and generating CLI wrappers.

CLI-Anything-Web extends the same vision to the web — where there's no source code to analyze, only live HTTP traffic to capture.

Together they cover the full spectrum: CLI-Anything for desktop, CLI-Anything-Web for the web.

🗺️ What's Next

We're actively building more CLIs and improving the plugin:

• 🎯 More CLIs — Jira, Notion, Monday.com, Spotify
• 🎵 Content generation — Suno, ElevenLabs, Midjourney
• 🧠 Smarter analysis — Auto-detect auth flows, pagination, WebSocket streams
• 🔄 CI/CD integration — Run CLIs in GitHub Actions with env-var auth
• 📦 Community registry — Share and install CLIs built by other users
