# OpenCLI
> **Make any website your CLI.**
> Zero risk · Reuse Chrome login · AI-powered discovery
[中文文档](./README.zh-CN.md)
[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@jackwener/opencli)
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)
```bash
npm install -g @jackwener/opencli
```
Then use directly:
```bash
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
```bash
git clone git@github.com:jackwener/opencli.git
cd opencli && npm install
npx tsx src/main.ts list
```
### Update
```bash
# npm global
npm update -g @jackwener/opencli
# Or reinstall to latest
npm install -g @jackwener/opencli@latest
```
## 📋 Prerequisites
Browser commands need:
1. **Chrome** running **and logged into the target site** (e.g. bilibili.com, zhihu.com, xiaohongshu.com)
2. **[Playwright MCP Bridge](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/playwright-mcp-bridge/mmlmfjhmonkocbjadbfplnigmagldckm)** extension installed
3. Configure `PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_EXTENSION_TOKEN` (from the extension settings page) in your MCP config:
```json
{
"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.

## 🎨 Output Formats
```bash
opencli bilibili hot -f table # Default: rich table
opencli bilibili hot -f json # JSON (pipe to jq, feed to AI)
opencli bilibili hot -f md # Markdown
opencli bilibili hot -f csv # CSV
opencli bilibili hot -v # Verbose: show pipeline steps
```
## 🧠 AI Agent Workflow
```bash
# 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
## 🔧 Create New Commands
See **[CLI-CREATOR.md](./CLI-CREATOR.md)** for the full adapter guide (YAML pipeline + TypeScript).
## Releasing New Versions
```bash
# Bump version
npm version patch # 0.1.0 → 0.1.1
npm version minor # 0.1.0 → 0.2.0
npm version major # 0.1.0 → 1.0.0
# Push tag to trigger GitHub Actions auto-release
git push --follow-tags
```
The CI will automatically build, create a GitHub release, and publish to npm.
