FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a REST API into a CLI for Claude Code?▼

To turn a REST API into a CLI for Claude Code, you provide an API docs URL, live base URL, or peek-api capture. The tool discovers endpoints, normalizes them into a catalog, and generates a TypeScript CLI plus a SKILL.md file for direct Claude integration.

What is the best way to generate a TypeScript CLI from API documentation?▼

Generating a TypeScript CLI from API documentation involves parsing the docs to discover endpoints and building a normalized catalog. This process creates a Commander.js CLI with an API client featuring pagination, retry logic, and agent-friendly JSON envelopes.

Can I use endpoint discovery to build a Claude-ready skill from a live API base?▼

Yes, you can use endpoint discovery to build a Claude-ready skill from a live API base. The tool captures endpoints directly from live URLs or peek-api captures, normalizes the data, and packages it into a structured skill folder for Claude.

Does the generated CLI wrapper include retry logic and pagination?▼

Yes, the generated CLI wrapper includes retry logic and pagination. The created TypeScript API client automatically handles these mechanisms and wraps responses in agent-friendly JSON envelopes for reliable automated interactions.

Do I need to manually wire endpoints to automate API commands with Claude?▼

No, you do not need to manually wire endpoints to automate API commands with Claude. The tool discovers endpoints from your provided sources, normalizes the data, and eliminates manual wiring by generating a ready-to-use dual-mode CLI.
