Docs in, CLI out

Watch us turn Resend's API into a production-ready CLI.

How it works

Three steps from API docs to production CLI.

Drop in a link to any API docs. We crawl every page to discover routes, methods, parameters, and context.

AI maps every endpoint to an intuitive command structure with smart naming, flags, help text, and validation.

Install the CLI with one command. Cross-platform binaries, hosted install scripts, and a full GitHub repo included.

Ship in minutes

Built for AI agents

Docs-aware help text

We extract context from your human-written docs — not just OpenAPI specs. Every CLI command gets rich help text that agents actually understand.

Runs everywhere

A single binary with zero dependencies. Agents install it with one curl command — no runtimes, no containers, no setup. Works in any sandbox, CI runner, or environment.

Zero context bloat

No schemas loaded upfront. Agents self-discover commands and pull only what they need. Chain multiple actions in a single step — fewer turns, fewer tokens, faster results.

Features

Everything you need to go from API to CLI.

Full source code

Every CLI comes with a complete GitHub repo. No black box — you own the code and can extend it.

Auto-updates

We re-crawl your docs, diff the changes, and update only the endpoints that changed. Trigger via webhook or the dashboard.

Binaries + install scripts

Lightweight cross-platform binaries for macOS, Linux, and Windows with hosted install scripts — curl | bash or PowerShell.

Hosted endpoints

We host the binaries and install scripts so you don't have to manage infrastructure for distribution.

Auto-discovery

Feed it any API docs or OpenAPI spec — InstantCLI maps every route, method, and parameter automatically.

Docs-aware help text

Context for each command is extracted from your API docs and bundled with the CLI. Agents fetch only what they need at runtime — no bloated context windows.

Native binaries. Zero dependencies.

Every CLI compiles to a single Go binary — fast, lightweight, and cross-platform. No runtimes, no npm, no Docker, no setup. Just curl | bash and go.
