Chatgpt CLI

Drives ChatGPT from the terminal via cli-web-chatgpt — ask questions, generate and download images, list and view conversations, browse models, and manage OpenAI SSO auth. Use when the user wants to ask ChatGPT something, generate images with ChatGPT, or browse their ChatGPT conversations from the command line. Prefer cli-web-chatgpt over browsing chatgpt.com.

File contents

cli-web-chatgpt

ChatGPT on the command line: chat, image generation, conversation browsing. Chat/image commands run a headless stealth browser (Camoufox) to pass Cloudflare; read-only commands are instant HTTP. Install: pip install "cli-web-chatgpt[auth]", then python -m camoufox fetch and playwright install chromium.

Commands

chat ask QUESTION — ask ChatGPT. Options: --model SLUG (see models), --conversation ID (continue a thread)
chat image PROMPT — generate an image. Options: --style NAME (see images styles), -o/--output PATH (save file), --conversation ID
conversations list — recent conversations. Options: -n/--limit N, --archived, --starred
conversations get CONVERSATION_ID — view a conversation's messages
images list — recently generated images. Options: -n/--limit N
images download FILE_ID -c CONVERSATION_ID — download an image. Options: -o/--output PATH
images styles — available image styles
models — available model slugs
me — current user profile
auth login / auth status / auth logout — manage authentication

Examples

# Ask a question — returns text + conversation_id for follow-ups
cli-web-chatgpt chat ask "Explain quantum computing in 3 sentences" --json

# Continue the same conversation
cli-web-chatgpt chat ask "Now give an example" --conversation <conversation_id> --json

# Generate an image and save it
cli-web-chatgpt chat image "Logo for a coffee shop" -o logo.png --json

# Browse recent conversations, then read one
cli-web-chatgpt conversations list -n 10 --json
cli-web-chatgpt conversations get 69ca710b-5ef8-8397-a242-c5123470d7f8 --json

# Re-download a previously generated image
cli-web-chatgpt images download file_00000000xxx -c <conversation_id> -o image.png --json

JSON output

Add --json for structured output: {"success": true, "data": {...}} on success, {"error": true, "code": "...", "message": "..."} on failure. chat ask data: {text, conversation_id, model}. chat image data: {file_id, download_url, conversation_id, saved_to}.

Auth

All commands require login. cli-web-chatgpt auth login opens a browser for OpenAI SSO and saves session cookies; auth status checks them; auth logout removes them. Use cli-web-chatgpt doctor to diagnose auth problems.

Utilities

cli-web-chatgpt doctor [--json] diagnoses local setup (install, auth, dependencies). cli-web-chatgpt mcp-serve exposes the commands as MCP tools over stdio.

Agent tips

Chat and image generation take 15–60s (headless browser round-trip); read-only commands return immediately.
Reuse conversation_id from a previous chat ask to keep context across calls.
