  • One-line
    cli-hub install
    commands for each tool
  • Complete descriptions and usage patterns

What Can You Do?

CLI-Hub covers a broad range of software and codebases, empowering agents to conduct complex workflows via CLI:

  • Creative workflows: Image editing, 3D modeling, video production, audio processing, music notation
  • Productivity tools: Office suites, knowledge management, live streaming
  • AI platforms: Local LLMs, image generation, AI APIs, research assistants
  • Communication: Video conferencing and collaboration
  • Development: Diagramming, browser automation, network management
  • Content generation: AI-powered document and media creation

Each CLI provides stateful operations, JSON output for agents, REPL mode, and integrates with real software backends.

How It Works

cli-hub
is a lightweight wrapper around
pip
. When you run
cli-hub install gimp
, it installs a separate Python package (
cli-anything-gimp
) with its own CLI entry point (
cli-anything-gimp
). Each CLI is an independent pip package —
cli-hub
simply resolves names from the registry and tracks installs.

How to Use

  1. Install cli-hub:
    pip install cli-anything-hub
  2. Find your tool:
    cli-hub search <keyword>
    or
    cli-hub list -c <category>
  3. Install:
    cli-hub install <name>
    (installs the
    cli-anything-<name>
    pip package)
  4. Run:
    cli-anything-<name>
    for REPL, or
    cli-anything-<name> <command>
    for one-shot
  5. JSON output: All CLIs support
    --json
    flag for machine-readable output

Example Workflow

# Install the hub
pip install cli-anything-hub

# Find what you need
cli-hub search video

# Install it
cli-hub install kdenlive

# Use it with JSON output
cli-anything-kdenlive --json project create --name my-project
