Give InstantCLI any API docs and get an intuitive CLI in minutes. Includes binaries + install scripts for all platforms, auto-updates, docs-aware help text, hosting, and more. Built for AI agents.
Hey Hunters! 👋
I built InstantCLI for myself after dealing with bloated context windows from MCP servers and skills that stuff entire API docs into the agent's context
CLIs fix this - agents run a single command to self-discover everything an API has to offer
Help text (via the --help flag) is the killer feature: all context for each command/endpoint/parameter is extracted directly from the user-facing API docs and enhanced with llms. It's bundled directly with the CLI and agents fetch only what they need at runtime. No context overhead, no fumbled API calls.
Most APIs don't have a CLI yet. Building a great one with cross-platform binaries, install scripts, detailed help text, and auto-updates has nothing to do with your core product. Maintaining it as your API grows is a headache.
Give InstantCLI any API docs url and it generates a production-ready CLI in minutes. It includes binaries + install scripts for all platforms, auto-updates as your API changes, docs-enhanced help text designed for agents, and hosting.
Looking forward to your feedback!
