Describe an endpoint in plain English. Init ships it as a live, typed, versioned HTTPS API in seconds, with auth and secrets handled. An endpoint can combine LLM reasoning, web search and scraping, document processing, image, video and voice generation, email, maps, a database, file storage, compute and scheduled jobs.

This repo holds Init's open-source clients:

Package

What it does

@init-computer/cli

init in your terminal, scripts and CI

@init-computer/sdk

JavaScript client for Node.js 18+

@init-computer/mcp

MCP server for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf and any MCP client

In your coding agent

Install the agent kit, then type:

/backend email me the top Hacker News posts every morning

Or add the MCP server directly:

claude mcp add init --env INIT_API_KEY=init_sk_... -- npx -y @init-computer/mcp
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "init": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@init-computer/mcp"],
      "env": { "INIT_API_KEY": "init_sk_..." }
    }
  }
}

From the terminal

npm install -g @init-computer/cli
init login
init generate "An API that takes a company website and returns a sales brief with sources"
init run <route> --data website=https://www.snowflake.com

Get an API key at init.computer. See the CLI reference.

From code

import { createClient } from "@init-computer/sdk";

const init = createClient(); // reads INIT_API_KEY

const api = await init.generate({
  prompt: "Extract line items, totals and the due date from an invoice PDF",
});

const result = await init.run(api.url, { fileUrl: "https://example.com/invoice.pdf" });

See the SDK reference.

Examples

init-computer/examples has runnable examples and starter templates. You can also generate and version endpoints in CI with init-action, or use the Vercel AI SDK and n8n integrations.

    A remote MCP server that lets a coding agent turn a plain-language idea into a real, shareable product — creating the project and data model, serving live API endpoints, deploying custom endpoints and server-side functions, and reading request and function logs. It handles sign-up, OAuth-backed access, and OpenAPI spec generation so people can open, sign into, and use the app the agent builds.
