Anomalia CLI — Social Media AI Automation CLI, MCP Server & Agent Skill

Automate your social media from the terminal. Anomalia is the social media AI autopilot that plans, writes, designs and publishes posts, blog articles and SEO/GEO audits on autopilot. This repository is its command-line client, MCP server (Model Context Protocol — stdio + HTTP) and agent skill: everything you need to run social media automation, content generation and approval workflows from a terminal or an AI agent.

This repository ships three ways to drive the same product (same OAuth, same API, no static tokens):

You need an Anomalia account. This is a client, not a standalone tool: every call talks to the Anomalia API over HTTPS. Without an account there is nothing to drive.

With the Anomalia CLI you can automate social media posting, approve AI-generated content in one tap, edit a carousel slide by slide, turn a post into a video, run SEO and GEO audits, and manage your blog — from the terminal or from an AI agent like Cursor or Claude.

1. CLI

Install

Pick one:

npm

npm install -g anomalia-cli
# or:  pnpm add -g anomalia-cli   /   bun add -g anomalia-cli
anomalia login

Homebrew

brew tap andreabuttarelli/anomalia-cli https://github.com/andreabuttarelli/anomalia-cli
brew install anomalia
anomalia login

Installer (standalone binary) — macOS arm64/x64 and Linux arm64/x64, no Node/Bun required:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andreabuttarelli/anomalia-cli/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
anomalia login

Update later with anomalia update, or npm install -g anomalia-cli@latest / brew upgrade anomalia depending on how you installed. More detail: docs/distribute.md.

Quick start

anomalia brands
anomalia dashboard my-brand
anomalia content my-brand --status pending_user
anomalia approve my-brand --all
anomalia seo my-brand
anomalia web my-brand generate --topic "..."
anomalia ads my-brand --remix
anomalia ai my-brand --message "..." --pipe

Every command takes the brand slug as its first argument. anomalia --help lists them all; anomalia <command> --help details one. Short id prefixes from tables are accepted; ambiguous prefixes error instead of guessing.

From source

Requires Bun.

git clone https://github.com/andreabuttarelli/anomalia-cli.git
cd anomalia-cli
bun install
bun run cli.ts --help

2. MCP server

Same tools and OAuth as the CLI. Docs: docs/mcp.md.

bun run mcp          # stdio (local hosts)
bun run mcp:http     # http://localhost:8787/mcp

Remote: https://mcp.anomalia.so/mcp (Bearer JWT required). Health: GET /health.

Cursor — stdio

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anomalia": {
      "command": "bun",
      "args": ["run", "/ABS/PATH/to/anomalia-cli/mcp/stdio.ts"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor — HTTP

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anomalia": { "url": "https://mcp.anomalia.so/mcp" }
  }
}

If Connect fails with Not an https or loopback URI: cursor://…, your Cursor build is still using the custom-scheme OAuth callback — use stdio above, update Cursor (loopback http://localhost:8787/callback), or see docs/mcp.md.

• Local stdio: login tool or existing anomalia login → ~/.config/anomalia/session.json

• Remote HTTP: Authorization: Bearer <access_token> (401 without it is expected)

3. Agent Skill & plugins

Publishable Agent Skill for Cursor, Claude, skills.sh, and friends:

npx skills add andreabuttarelli/anomalia-cli --skill anomalia
# or
bash scripts/install-skill.sh --project

Package: skills/anomalia/ → plugins/anomalia/skills/anomalia/ (SKILL.md + references/ for MCP setup, tool map, CLI).

When the skill is active, agents prefer MCP tools if connected, otherwise the CLI.

Claude Code / Codex marketplace plugin

Same skill + remote MCP, packaged for plugin install and directory submit:

# Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add andreabuttarelli/anomalia-cli
/plugin install anomalia@anomalia

# Codex
codex plugin marketplace add andreabuttarelli/anomalia-cli

Submit checklist (Claude community directory + OpenAI Plugins Directory): docs/plugins.md.

Configuration

Zero config by default → https://anomalia.so, with automatic fallback to http://localhost:5173 when a local app is answering.

Session: ~/.config/anomalia/session.json. anomalia logout clears it. No secrets are embedded in this repo or the binary.

Architecture

Thin HTTPS client — no DB access, no coupling to the Anomalia server codebase:

CLI  ──┐
MCP  ──┼── HTTPS ──►  /api/v1/*  ──►  Anomalia
Skill ─┘   (guides agents to CLI or MCP)

• CLI commands: commands/ + cli.ts

• HTTP client: lib/api.ts only

• MCP: mcp/ (reuses lib/api.ts, registers tools)

• Skill / plugins: skills/anomalia/ → plugins/anomalia/ (Claude + Codex marketplace manifests)

Development

bun install
bun run cli.ts --help
bun run mcp
bun run mcp:http
bun run typecheck
bun test
bun run build             # binary → dist/
bun run build:all         # all four targets
bun run vercel-build      # MCP bundles under mcp/api/

Releases: push a v* tag → CI typechecks, tests, cross-compiles binaries + .tar.gz + SHA256SUMS.txt on the GitHub Release, bumps Formula/anomalia.rb, and publishes anomalia-cli to npm when NPM_TOKEN is set. Details: docs/distribute.md.
