Decision brief
A tool for creating command line interfaces to interact with websites using AI-driven automation and browser interactions.
Good fit when
- When you need to create CLI access to a website where no official API exists.
- When interacting with websites in environments that lack graphical user interface support or are headless, such as CI/CD pipelines.
Avoid when
- If you require direct access to website functionalities through a robust API instead of an interpreted CLI based on web scraping.
- For scenarios where the browser must remain visible or controlled manually, as OpenCLI’s automation might interfere with manual browser operations.
- Requirements:
- Requires Node.js >= 20 if installed via npm.; Chrome/Chromium browser is needed for the Browser Bridge extension to function.

1. Install OpenCLI
For desktop use, start with OpenCLIApp. It bundles the OpenCLI runtime,
keeps the managed opencli command installed, and gives you a system tray UI
for setup, diagnostics, updates, browser-login keepalive, and Web → Markdown.
Option A — OpenCLIApp (recommended for macOS / Windows):
Download the latest app from https://opencli.info/download, install it, then
open the app once and use the System page to install or repair the opencli
command.
Option B — npm global install (CLI-only / CI / servers): OpenCLI requires Node.js >= 20 when installed through npm.
node --version
npm install -g @jackwener/opencli
2. Install the Browser Bridge Extension
OpenCLI connects to Chrome/Chromium through a lightweight Browser Bridge extension plus a small local daemon. The daemon auto-starts when needed.
Option A — Chrome Web Store (recommended): Install OpenCLI from the Chrome Web Store.
Option B — Manual install:
- Download the latest
opencli-extension-v{version}.zipfrom the GitHub Releases page. - Unzip it, open
chrome://extensions, and enable Developer mode. - Click Load unpacked and select the unzipped folder.
