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

Requirement	Version	Why
Claude Code	With plugin support	Runs the generation pipeline
Node.js	18+	For playwright traffic capture
Python	3.10+	Generated CLIs are Python

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.

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)

⚙️ How It Works

The plugin runs a 4-phase pipeline, fully automated by Claude:

Phase	What Happens
1. Capture	Opens browser via Playwright, records all HTTP traffic while you use the site
2. Analyze & Generate	Identifies protocol (REST/GraphQL/RPC/HTML), maps endpoints, generates full Python CLI
3. Test	Writes unit tests (mocked) + E2E tests (live API) + subprocess tests
4. Publish	pip install -e . → on your PATH → smoke tested → Claude skill generated

🔧 What Every Generated CLI Includes

Feature	Details
Click commands	cli-web-<app> <group> <command> [options]
Interactive REPL	Run with no args — history, autocomplete, branded prompt
--json output	Machine-readable on every command — pipe into jq, scripts, or agents
Auth management	Python Playwright browser login → cookie extraction → auth.json
Error handling	Typed exceptions → structured JSON errors: {"error": true, "code": "AUTH_EXPIRED"}
Tests	Unit (mocked HTTP) + E2E (live API) + subprocess (_resolve_cli)
Installable	pip install -e . puts it on your PATH immediately

📋 Commands

Command	Description
/cli-anything-web <url>	Full pipeline — capture, analyze, generate, publish
/cli-anything-web:record <url>	Capture traffic only (for exploration)
/cli-anything-web:refine <path>	Add more commands to an existing CLI
/cli-anything-web:test <path>	Run tests and update TEST.md
/cli-anything-web:validate <path>	Validate against 75-check quality standards
/cli-anything-web:list	List all generated CLIs

🌐 Supported Protocols

The plugin auto-detects and handles multiple web architectures:

Protocol	Example Sites	How It's Handled
REST / JSON API	Monday.com, Dev.to	httpx client, JSON response parsing
Server-rendered HTML	GitHub, FUTBIN, Hacker News	BeautifulSoup4 + CSS selectors
Cloudflare-protected	Product Hunt, Unsplash	curl_cffi with Chrome TLS impersonation
GraphQL	Shopify, GitHub API v4	Query abstraction into CLI commands
GraphQL + AWS WAF	Booking.com	curl_cffi + WAF cookie bypass
Google batchexecute	NotebookLM, Google Docs, Keep	Custom RPC encoder/decoder
Browser-rendered (Playwright)	Google AI Mode	Headless browser rendering + content extraction

🔗 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.

	CLI-Anything	CLI-Anything-Web
Target	Desktop apps (GIMP, Blender, OBS)	Web apps (NotebookLM, Booking.com, any website)
Input	Source code, GUI APIs, plugin systems	Live HTTP traffic from browser
Analysis	Static code analysis + API mapping	Network traffic capture + protocol detection
Auth	N/A (local software)	Browser login, cookies, WAF bypass, API keys
Output	Click CLI + REPL + --json + tests	Click CLI + REPL + --json + tests

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, LinkedIn
• 🎵 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
