Does papercrane-cli work with my own Claude or OpenAI subscription?

Yes. The CLI is a tool your AI agent calls. Use Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Aider, or anything else that can run shell commands. AI usage bills against your existing subscription, not against Papercrane credits.

How do I install papercrane-cli?

npm install -g @papercraneai/cli. Requires Node.js 22 and npm 10.

What can my AI agent do with the CLI?

List connected modules and endpoints, describe schemas, call endpoints, build dashboards as Next.js routes with hot reload via papercrane dev, and create custom TypeScript integrations for data behind a VPN or on a private network.

Is papercrane-cli open source?

Source available under the Elastic License 2.0. Use, modify, and distribute freely with two restrictions: no hosted-or-managed-service offering to third parties, and no circumvention of license key functionality.

What papercrane-cli unlocks

Connect your AI to your tools

Your agent gets direct access to your connected SaaS tools. Google Analytics, Stripe, HubSpot, BigQuery, MongoDB, and 45+ more, exposed as one unified API your agent can list, describe, and call.

Build dashboards locally

Dashboards are Next.js routes. `papercrane dev` runs a local server with hot reload. Your agent writes components, sees them refresh, and iterates against live data.

Build your own integrations

If a data source is not in our integration library, your agent can write a TypeScript handler in `app/_handlers/`. Same interface as cloud integrations, runs locally. Great for internal APIs, VPN only data, or anything behind a firewall.

Sync to the Papercrane cloud

Dashboards live in workspaces. Pull a workspace to work on it locally, then publish it live.

50+ integrations ready to connect

Authenticate once and your agent can use every connected integration. No SDK wrappers, no API key juggling, no rate limit boilerplate.

Publish, instantly live

`papercrane publish` ships your dashboard to the Papercrane cloud. Live data, sharable link, no deploy step.

Cloud only features

Add a chat interface so viewers can ask follow up questions of any dashboard. Attach custom domains. Share with specific users via email or SSO.

Source available under Elastic License 2.0
