24 alternatives to Clify – generate a CLI from any API docs, use it as agent tooling
clify is a Claude Code plugin. Give it an API documentation URL and it generates a complete CLI repo: commands for every endpoint, smoke tests, zero npm dependencies. Try it inside Claude Code: 1. /plugin marketplace add derrickko/clify 2. /plugin install clify@derrickko-clify 3. Run /clify You'll have a working CLI in about 10 minutes. I was building agents to manage ad campaigns. Meta's Marketing API has no CLI, and no MCP server either. So I wrote one by hand. It worked, but then I looked at the next API I needed and realized the same problem is everywhere: tons of…

Hey, HN! I'm Aaron. I built an open-source Lovable for Claude Code users. Platforms like Lovable, Replit Agent, and Bolt require separate API keys and $25+/month subscriptions. But if you’re already subscribed to Claude Pro or Cursor, you can use those plans directly without extra costs. Claudable runs entirely locally through Claude Code (Cursor CLI also supported) and provides: - Instant UI preview (similar to Lovable) - Web-optimized, production-ready designs - Direct Git integration - One-click Vercel deployment - Zero additional API costs It’s open source and available today. I’m…

Hi! My name is Herve Kom, a computer science student that is interested in learning new things everyday! As one of my graduation project, I have developed a Claude Code -like Coding CLI, but with enhancement for API Testing: - Auto-generate & run tests (unit, e2e, Playwright, CI/CD, etc.) - Say bye-bye to hallucinations with built-in MCP Server to let LLM directly read from API Docs - Adding Agent.md support for better context persistence across your whole codebase - Automatic bug & security scans (logic is kind of basic but works great!) - Vibes, I want it to feel less "enterprise" but…

TLDR; I built a tool that turns any API into a CLI designed for ai agents --- Got tired of 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 So, built a tool to generate them for any api. All CLIs are written in Go, fast and lightweight, no dependencies 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…

Hi HN! Smooth CLI (https://www.smooth.sh) is a browser that agents like Claude Code can use to navigate the web reliably, quickly, and affordably. It lets agents specify tasks using natural language, hiding UI complexity, and allowing them to focus on higher-level intents to carry out complex web tasks. It can also use your IP address while running browsers in the cloud, which helps a lot with roadblocks like captchas (https://docs.smooth.sh/features/use-my-ip). Here’s a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62jthcU705k Docs start at…

RightNow CLI▲121I locked in for 18 hours and built Claude Code for CUDA. It is completely open source! It writes CUDA kernels, debugs memory issues, and optimizes for your specific GPU. It is a fully agentic AI with tool calling built specifically for the CUDA toolkit This is the CLI version of RightNow AI code editor, our GPU-native code editor with a built-in emulator, visual profiling, and remote GPU access. The CLI is open source, lightweight, and fast. It is designed for anyone who wants AI help with CUDA without setup I used Python because it is the most common language, so anyone can build on top of…

Cosmic CLI▲117Hi HN, I'm Tony, founder of Cosmic (a headless CMS). We just open-sourced a CLI that covers the full lifecycle of a content-driven app from creating the content model to deploying to production to updating the codebase all without leaving the terminal. Here's what the full workflow looks like: # Create a project with an AI-generated content model cosmic projects create # → "A recipe blog with recipes, categories, and authors" # Generate content cosmic content -p "Create 5 recipes with images across different categories" # Build a full-stack app wired to your content cosmic build -p "A modern…

runCLAUDErun▲112I built runCLAUDErun because I got tired of manually running the same Claude Code tasks every day. It's free and it runs locally. What it does: It's a macOS app that schedules your local Claude Code to run on any schedule you want - daily, weekly, or custom cron expressions. My use case: Every night at 11pm, it automatically summarizes my Obsidian daily notes. But, it can schedule any Claude task - code reviews, data processing, report generation, web research, file organization, etc... Technical details: - Native macOS app (Electron + React) - Uses launchd for scheduling (proper macOS…

Hey HN! We're Charles and Dean. A few weeks ago we posted about Stage, a code review tool that guides you through reading a PR step by step - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47796818. We got a lot of great feedback but also heard from many people that they wanted to have the chapters experience even before opening a PR… so we built the Stage CLI as the local, open-source version that anyone can try. Here’s a quick demo video: https://www.tella.tv/video/stage-cli-demo-f55q It works with any coding agent of your choice. The skill instructs the agent to…

Our team lives in Slack, but we don’t have access to the Slack MCP and couldn’t find anything out there that worked for us, so we coded our own agent-slack CLI * Can paste in Slack URLs * Token efficient * Zero-config (auto auth if you use Slack Desktop) Auto downloads files/snippets. Also can read Slack canvases as markdown! MIT License

We built the Kontext CLI because AI coding agents need access to GitHub, Stripe, databases, and dozens of other services — and right now most teams handle this by copy-pasting long-lived API keys into .env files, or the actual chat interface, whilst hoping for the best. The problem isn't just secret sprawl. It's that there's no lineage of access. You don't know which developer launched which agent, what it accessed, or whether it should have been allowed to. The moment you hand raw credentials to a process, you've lost the ability to enforce policy, audit access, or rotate without pain. The…

Clink lets you use the coding agents you already pay for (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Z.ai GLM) to build → live-preview → ship apps in an isolated container. No token purchases, no extra cost for coding. Just link your existing Claude/OpenAI/Gemini account and start building and deploying instantly. Why we built this: Claude Code is our go-to for coding, but it lacked preview + deploy capabilities. We didn't want to pay Lovable again just for that. Different agents excel at different tasks - Claude Code for versatility, Codex for complex work, GLM for speed. We needed one…

After seeing a lot of simple AI powered web apps being launched lately, the idea of building a tool to create them appeared in my mind. Using Clevis, you can quickly create apps by connecting a series of steps. The first step to an app is usually some sort of user input like a text field or a file upload. Then, that input can be processed by AI tools like ChatGPT and the output can be displayed to the end user as plain text, HTML or a file. Examples of other apps you could build using Clevis: 1. SEO Assistant: An app that analyses any website URL for SEO improvements 2. Cover Letter Writer:…

Clai allows you to pipe files into practically any AI model, local or remote, and then stores the output as conversations locally. Supports tooling calls for many convenient bash tools, also supports writing local files. You can also pre-prompt with the new profiles, which enables convenient swapping between custom tool + prompt configurations. Personally I use clai practically all the time. It auto-generate unittests in seconds, can analyze huge complex codebases, interpret confusing output + syntax, etc. It's a tool, like a hammer, so you need to know how to use it. But once you do it…

I'm working on a CLI that helps you create the boilerplate of your project in multiple languages and frameworks. In case of front-end frameworks/libraries, with cli you'll be able to create the project, set up git on your local, add the UI-framework, testing framework, and linting, and in the future releases you'll be able to even add pre-designed components. The CLI currently supports React, Angular, Vue, Svelte and Node.js will be released today. Also soon, you'll be able to deploy your applications to AWS with a single command. Appreciate your feedbacks and all the contributions are…

Uses agent and Git Hooks to automatically create Git Notes on commit, containing the agent conversation that led to that commit. Works if either you or the agent commit. It's basically the same thing as entire.io just announced that they got $60m investment for. Except I got Claude Code to write it last week, in my spare time, without really paying attention. I certainly didn't read or write any of the code, except for one rubbish joke in the README. I've got a Claude Code instance working on Gemini CLI support and OpenCode support currently.

I’ve been working on Code2Docs, an open-source CLI tool that helps developers automatically generate inline documentation (docstrings + comments) for Python code using AI. It’s built to solve a common problem I’ve faced (and seen often in teams): We code by "vibe" — fast iterations, minimal docs, and then forget what the logic was months later. Code2Docs helps bridge that gap by documenting as you go — without breaking your flow. Right now it supports function-level documentation. Planned features include: - README.md generation for projects - API endpoint docs - Database schema…
