Quail CLI

quail-cli is a command-line interface for interacting with Quail
, designed to simplify and automate operations such as user authentication, managing posts, and fetching user details.

Quail CLI interacts with the Quail API at https://api.quail.ink.

, and download the binary for your platform.

Please extract the binary and put it in your PATH.

Install manually

To manually install quail-cli, you can use the following command:

$ go install github.com/quailyquaily/quail-cli@latest

you need to have go installed to install quail-cli manually. Please refer to the official Go installation guide
for more information.

Usage (command line)

After installation, you can start using quail-cli by calling the following command:

$ quail-cli [command]

Available Commands

• help: Get help about any command.
• login: Authenticate with Quail using OAuth.
• me: Retrieve current user information.
• post: Create, update, delete, or retrieve posts.

Global Flags

• --api-base string: Quail API base URL (default: https://api.quail.ink).
• --auth-base string: Quail Auth base URL (default: https://quaily.com).
• --config string: Path to the configuration file (default: $HOME/.config/quail-cli/config.yaml).
• --format string: Specify output format, either human (human-readable) or json (default: human).
• -h, --help: Display help information for the quail-cli.

Authenticate with Quail

$ quail-cli login

This will initiate OAuth login to authenticate with Quail. Please follow the instructions to complete the authentication process.

1. visit the URL provided in the terminal.
2. Authorize the application.

Retrieve Current User Information

$ quail-cli me

Get the details of the currently authenticated user.

Post Operations

Upsert a Post

$ quail-cli post upsert your_markdown_file.md -l your_list_slug

in which,

• your_markdown_file.md is the path to the markdown file.
• your_list_slug is the slug of the list where the post will be created or updated. For example, if the list URL is https://quaily.com/my_list, then your_list_slug is my_list.

quail-cli will read the frontmatter from the markdown file to create or update a post. If the post does not exist, it will be created. If it exists, it will be updated.

Here is an example of a markdown file:

---
title: "Here is the title"
slug: your-post-slug
datetime: 2024-09-30 18:42
summary: "This is a summary of the post."
tags: tag1, tag2, tag3
cover_image_url: "your-image-url.jpg"
---

> Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
>
> -- Arthur C. Clarke

This is the body of the post.

    int main() {
        printf("Hello, World!");
        return 0;
    }

## Section Title

This is the last section of the post.

Publish/Unpublish/Deliver/Delete a Post

$ quail-cli post publish -l your_list_slug -p your_post_slug

$ quail-cli post unpublish -l your_list_slug -p your_post_slug

$ quail-cli post deliver -l your_list_slug -p your_post_slug

$ quail-cli post delete -l your_list_slug -p your_post_slug

Usage (MCP server)

Warning

This feature is experimental.

MCP(Model Context Protocol) is a protocol for interacting with AI models (like Claude, GPT, etc.). quail-cli can be used as a MCP server.

Before that, you need to login to quail-cli by running the following command:

$ quail-cli login

SSE mode

Run the following command to start the MCP server in SSE mode.

$ quail-cli mcp --sse

The server will start a HTTP server and listen on port 8083. You can use any MCP client to connect to this server by providing the URL http://localhost:8083/sse.

Stdio mode

Before configuring the quail-cli as a MCP server in stdio mode, you need to install quail-cli. And then, find the path of the quail-cli binary and pass mcp as the argument to the quail-cli.

/your_install_path/quail-cli mcp

Interact with quail-cli via MCP client

Here is an example prompt:

what's the url of the 1th post of my first channel?

The LLM will call a series of tools from quail-cli to get the answer.

Supported tools

• quaily_login: login to quaily.com.
• quaily_search: search quaily.com for a given query.
• quaily_get_my_channels: get all quaily channels of the current user.
• quaily_get_channel_posts: get posts of a specific quaily channel.
• quaily_get_post_content: get the content of a post.
• quaily_get_post: get a post.
• quaily_publish_post: publish a post.
• quaily_unpublish_post: unpublish a post.
• quaily_save_post: save a post.
• quaily_get_url: get the url of a post or a channel.

Configuration

By default, quail-cli reads from $HOME/.config/quail-cli/config.yaml. if the file does not exist, it will be created after the first login.

You can specify a different configuration file by using the --config flag.

$ quail-cli --config /path/to/config.yaml

Configuration File Example

# DO NOT modify `app` section, quail-cli will manage it.
app:
  access_token: ""
  expiry: ""
  refresh_token: ""
  token_type: ""
  user:
    id: 1
    name: "your_name"
    bio: "your_bio"

post:
  # frontmatter_mapping is used to map the frontmatter keys
  # for this example:
  # you can use`featureImage` in the frontmatter and it will be mapped to `cover_image_url`
  frontmatter_mapping:
    cover_image_url: featureImage
