🥷 Ninja CLI

The Modern, AI-Powered Command Line Interface

Ninja CLI is a high-performance terminal assistant that bridges the gap between natural language and system execution. Powered by state-of-the-art LLMs, it allows you to build, manage, and automate your development workflow using simple conversational commands.


🚀 Key Features

  • Multi-Model Support: Seamlessly switch between OpenAI, Gemini, and OpenRouter.
  • Intelligent Execution: Translates your intent into safe, executable shell commands.
  • Advanced UI: Features a "Gemini-inspired" aesthetic with real-time status spinners, progress bars, and syntax-highlighted panels.
  • Permission Logic: Granular control over restricted commands with a session-wide "Always Allow" bypass for power users.
  • Custom Exit Logic: Clean shutdown sequence with automated interrupt signals.

🛠️ Installation

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.10+
  • uv (Recommended) or pip

Setup

  1. Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/your-username/ninja-cli.git
cd ninja-cli

  1. Install using uv: (Fastest):
uv add ninjacli

  1. Install using pip:
pip install ninjacli


📖 How to Use

1. Launching the AI

Simply type the following command from any directory:

ninjacli

2. Configuration

On the first run, Ninja CLI will guide you through:

  • Provider Selection: Choose between OpenAI, Gemini, or OpenRouter.
  • API Key Setup: Securely link your API key (stored in your local .env).

3. Interacting with the Agent

You can ask Ninja CLI to perform complex tasks such as:

  • "Create a new React project in a folder named 'dashboard' and install tailwind."
  • "Read the content of main.py and tell me if there are any security risks."
  • "Find all log files in this directory and delete those older than 7 days."

4. Handling Restricted Commands

For safety, commands like rm or sudo trigger a confirmation prompt:

  • [y] Yes: Execute this specific command once.
  • [n] No: Skip this command.
  • [always] Always Allow: Grants permission for all restricted commands for the remainder of the current session.

🛡️ Security Note

Ninja CLI performs a directory check on startup. It is highly recommended to run the CLI within a specific project directory rather than your system's root directory to prevent accidental file modifications.

Config for your environment

Replace {MCP_ENDPOINT_URL} with this MCP’s endpoint URL (from its repo or docs above). No API key — you connect directly.

Tool

OS

Config file: ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server": {
      "url": "{MCP_ENDPOINT_URL}"
    }
  }
}

Paste into mcpServers in the config file. Restart Cursor after saving.

If this MCP is also published on mcpchannel.ai, you can subscribe from Browse and use the gateway config there instead.
