OpenCLI Usage Guide
Make any website or Electron App your CLI. Reuse Chrome login, zero risk, AI-powered discovery.
Install & Run
# npm global install (recommended)
npm install -g @jackwener/opencli
opencli <command>
# Or from source
cd ~/code/opencli && npm install
npx tsx src/main.ts <command>
# Update to latest
npm update -g @jackwener/opencli
Prerequisites
Browser commands require:
- Chrome browser running (logged into target sites)
- opencli Browser Bridge Chrome extension installed (load
extension/ as unpacked in chrome://extensions)
- No further setup needed — the daemon auto-starts on first browser command
Note: You must be logged into the target website in Chrome before running commands. Tabs opened during command execution are auto-closed afterwards.
Public API commands (hackernews, v2ex) need no browser.
