Yaak CLI

The yaak CLI for publishing plugins and creating/updating/sending requests.

Installation

npm install @yaakapp/cli

Agentic Workflows

The yaak CLI is primarily meant to be used by AI agents, and has the following features:

• schema subcommands to get the JSON Schema for any model (eg. yaak request schema http)
• --json '{...}' input format to create and update data
• --verbose mode for extracting debug info while sending requests
• The ability to send entire workspaces and folders (Supports --parallel and --fail-fast)

Agent Setup

Install the Yaak skill so your coding agent knows how to drive the CLI:

yaak agent install                                  # every agent found on this machine
npx skills add mountain-loop/yaak --skill use-yaak  # or with the skills CLI

Claude Code and Codex can install it as a plugin instead. In Claude Code, run /plugin install yaak --marketplace mountain-loop/yaak; the plugin also registers the yaak mcp server. In Codex, run codex plugin marketplace add mountain-loop/yaak, then codex plugin add yaak@yaak.

Any MCP client can run the server over stdio:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yaak": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@yaakapp/cli", "mcp"] }
  }
}

Example Prompts

Use the yaak CLI with agents like Claude or Codex to do useful things for you.

Here are some example prompts:

Scan my API routes and create a workspace (using yaak cli) with
all the requests needed for me to do manual testing?

Send all the GraphQL requests in my workspace
