@glyphkit/cli · v1.x

CLI

Generate assets directly from your terminal or integrate GlyphKit into CI/CD pipelines and AI agent tool loops via MCP.

Installation

Install globally via npm, pnpm, or Homebrew:

bash

npm install -g @glyphkit/cli

bash

pnpm add -g @glyphkit/cli

bash

brew install glyphkit/tap/glyphkit

Verify the installation:

bash

glyphkit --version
# glyphkit 1.4.2

Authentication

Set your API key once and it persists across all commands:

bash

glyphkit config set api-key af_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Or export it as an environment variable (useful in CI):

bash

export GLYPHKIT_API_KEY=af_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Quick Start

Generate a logo in multiple formats with one command:

bash

glyphkit generate \
  --prompt "dark mode fintech app icon, abstract F lettermark" \
  --formats svg,png,ico \
  --width 512 \
  --height 512 \
  --style minimal \
  --out ./brand

--status	Filter: queued, processing, complete, failed.

bash

glyphkit job list --status complete --limit 5

api-key <key>	Set your API key.
out <path>	Set default output directory.

bash

glyphkit config set api-key af_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
glyphkit config set out ./generated

glyphkit mcp

Start an MCP server so AI agents (Claude, GPT-4o, etc.) can call GlyphKit tools directly inside their tool loop.

Flag	Description
--port	Port to listen on. Default: 3100.

bash

glyphkit mcp --port 3100

CI/CD Integration

Add asset generation to your GitHub Actions workflow:

yaml

# .github/workflows/assets.yml
name: Generate Brand Assets

on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
    paths: ['brand/**']

jobs:
  generate:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - run: npm install -g @glyphkit/cli
      - run: |
          glyphkit generate \
            --prompt "$(cat brand/prompt.txt)" \
            --formats svg,png,favicon-package \
            --out ./public/brand
        env:
          GLYPHKIT_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.GLYPHKIT_API_KEY }}
      - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
        with:
          name: brand-assets
          path: public/brand/

MCP Server (AI Agents)

Start an MCP server so AI agents can call GlyphKit tools directly inside their tool loop — no wrapper code needed.

bash

glyphkit mcp

Add to your Claude Desktop or Agent SDK config:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "glyphkit": {
      "command": "glyphkit",
      "args": ["mcp"],
      "env": {
        "GLYPHKIT_API_KEY": "af_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
      }
    }
  }
}

The MCP server exposes generate_asset and get_job_status as callable tools.
