CLI and Agents

Operate Flowtify from the terminal and AI agents

Use the CLI to connect Flowtify with scripts, terminal workflows, and AI agents. After authorization, it can work with feeds, entries, notes, Knowledge Wiki, AI chats, MCP, research, todos, media assets, and video projects.

flowtify
$ curl -fsSL https://flowtify.app/install-cli.sh | sh
$ flowtify login --api-url https://api.flowtify.app
$ flowtify entries list --unread --limit 20
$ flowtify ai ask "Summarize my unread entries"
$ flowtify knowledge wiki --status completed
$ flowtify export bundle --output flowtify-export.zip

What it covers

Common workflows have dedicated commands, and advanced workflows can fall back to the generic API command.

Reading and feeds

List subscriptions, preview and subscribe to RSS feeds, filter entries, mark read, star, and search content.

Notes and knowledge

Create and update notes, view Knowledge Wiki pages, run knowledge compilation, and review relation candidates.

AI chats and skills

Ask AI, manage chats, inspect usage, and manage AI skills, memory, tasks, and automations.

Knowledge bases and search

Manage knowledge base documents and run unified, smart, and cross-content search.

Creation and projects

Access research projects, todos, workspace projects, image designs, media assets, podcasts, and publishing tasks.

MCP tools

Inspect MCP connections, refresh capabilities, list tools, read resources, get prompts, and call tools.

Generic API fallback

Unwrapped endpoints can still be called with flowtify api METHOD PATH, which is useful for advanced agent workflows.

How to start

Install, authorize in the browser, then call Flowtify from a terminal or agent.

1

Install the CLI

Use the one-line installer from the current site. Test environments show test domains, and production shows production domains.

curl -fsSL https://flowtify.app/install-cli.sh | sh
2

Authorize

The CLI opens a browser, completes Flowtify login, and saves credentials through a local callback without giving passwords to an agent.

flowtify login --api-url https://api.flowtify.app
3

Start calling

Check the current identity first, then use dedicated commands or the generic API command.

flowtify whoami
flowtify entries list --unread --limit 20
flowtify search unified "AI Agent" --limit 10

Skill for AI agents

Copy this Skill URL into an agent that supports skills. It explains how to install the CLI, verify authorization, and ask before writes or destructive actions.

Safety boundaries

  • Authorization happens in the browser, so the CLI does not ask users to send passwords or tokens to agents.
  • Credentials are stored in the current system user directory with read/write access restricted to that user.
  • For batch writes, deletes, and corrections, ask the agent to show the plan before execution.
