Registry

The api2cli registry lets the community share CLI wrappers. Before building a CLI from scratch, check if someone already built it.

Install a CLI

Install any CLI from its GitHub repo. This clones the repo, installs dependencies, builds it, links it to your PATH, and symlinks the AgentSkill to your coding agents.

# From GitHub repo
npx api2cli install owner/repo
npx api2cli install https://github.com/owner/repo

# Reinstall (overwrite existing)
npx api2cli install owner/repo --force

One command. Your CLI is ready to use and your agent knows how to use it via the symlinked skill.

What install does

1. Clones the GitHub repo to ~/.cli/<app>-cli/
2. Runs bun install to install dependencies
3. Builds the CLI with bun build
4. Creates a symlink in ~/.local/bin/ and updates your shell PATH
5. Symlinks skills/<app>-cli/SKILL.md to your agent directories (~/.claude/skills/, ~/.cursor/skills/, etc.)

Publish Your CLI

Share your CLI with the community. Push your repo to GitHub, then publish it to the registry:

Via Sundial Hub

Publish the generated skill to Sundial Hub so any agent can install it:

# Login (one-time)
npx sundial-hub auth login

# Push the skill
npx sundial-hub push path/to/skills/<app>-cli --visibility public --categories coding

After publishing, anyone can install with:

npx sundial-hub add <your-username>/<app>-cli

Via the website

Click the "+ Add my CLI" button on the registry homepage. Paste your GitHub URL (owner/repo or full URL).

Via the API

curl -X POST https://api2cli.dev/api/publish-cli \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"githubUrl": "owner/repo"}'

What gets auto-detected

The registry fetches from your GitHub repo:

• Repo info - description, stars, topics
• package.json - name, version
• README.md - auth type detection (bearer, api-key, basic)
• SKILL.md - skill name and description from frontmatter
• Category - auto-assigned from keywords (social, finance, devtools, etc.)
