CLI

anymd is a zero-dependency command-line client. It needs Node.js 18 or newer and nothing else.

Install

npm i -g https://cdn.anymd.cc/cli/anymd-cli-latest.tgz

Or run it once without installing:

npx https://cdn.anymd.cc/cli/anymd-cli-latest.tgz https://stephango.com/saw

Sign in

anymd login --key amd_…   # or just `anymd login` and paste when asked
anymd whoami              # who am I, which plan, which scopes
anymd logout

anymd login stores the key in ~/.config/anymd/config.json. Environment variables take care of CI and containers:

Variable	Purpose
ANYMD_API_KEY	API key (amd_…)
ANYMD_BASE_URL	Point at another deployment, e.g. https://staging.anymd.cc or your self-hosted copy

Without a key the CLI works anonymously, with the same 50-per-day limit as the URL API.

Recipes

Save an article as a file:

anymd convert https://stephango.com/saw -o saw.md

Pipe into another tool (Markdown goes to stdout):

anymd https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1 | llm "summarise the discussion"

Get JSON for scripting:

anymd convert https://stephango.com/saw --json | jq '.'

Convert without touching your library, bypassing the cache:

anymd convert https://example.com --no-save --fresh

Convert a local PDF:

anymd file ./quarterly-report.pdf > report.md

Search with a specific mode:

anymd search '"vector database" NOT pinecone' --mode fulltext --limit 5
anymd search "notes about pricing experiments" --json

Page builder from the terminal

anymd pages blocks                                   # block catalog
anymd pages create --slug launch --title "Launch" --template product-launch
anymd pages get launch                               # note the revision
anymd pages ops launch --file ops.json               # apply a batch of ops
anymd pages publish launch

ops.json is the same body as POST /admin/pages/:id/ops:

{
  "baseRevision": 1,
  "ops": [
    { "op": "set_meta", "title": "Launch week" },
    { "op": "insert", "block": { "type": "faq", "props": { "items": [{ "q": "Is it free?", "a": "Yes, 500 credits every month." }] } } }
  ]
}

If someone edited the page since you read it, the command fails with revision_conflict. Run anymd pages get again and retry with the new revision.
