How to turn a website into a typed CLI in one command with Hycli

Point Hycli at a site and a goal to get its reads, writes, and workflows as CLI subcommands.

Reverse engineering. Hycli learns from linked docs, OpenAPI or GraphQL schemas, static JS bundles, and observed browser traffic, so only point it at sites you are allowed to automate.

Who it is forA developer who wants scripted access to a website and does not want to write a client by hand.

The problemWriting a client for a website by hand means studying its requests, docs, and traffic, then keeping it working as the site changes.

The outcomeA list of prepared reads, writes, and multi-step workflows you can run from the terminal, with read actions ready to run.

What you need first

  • A Hycli release package for Windows, macOS, or Linux (Rust and Node.js are not needed to run it)
  • An AI connection: an OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, xAI, or Z.ai API key, or a local ChatGPT Codex login
  • The URL of the target website and a short goal for it
  • An MCP client such as Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex, if your agent will call Hycli

Steps

  1. Download the native installer or portable archive for your platform from Releases (v0.1.0) and install it.
  2. Run hycli open to start the local dashboard at http://127.0.0.1:4318.
  3. Run hycli prepare https://your-website.example --intent "Search posts, save drafts, and publish articles".
  4. Run hycli describe your-website to see every prepared read, write, and workflow.
  5. Run hycli your-website search-posts --query "release notes" to test a read action.

Prompt for your agent

In the Hycli repo (github.com/Hybirdss/Hycli), run `hycli prepare <site-url> --intent "<goal>"` and then `hycli describe <site-name>`. Return the list of prepared read and write actions. Verify that no write request was sent during preparation.

Caveat. The prepared action set depends on what the site's docs, bundles, and traffic reveal, so review the output of describe before relying on it.
