A command-line tool that scaffolds complete rich text editors and UI components directly into your codebase. Instead of manually integrating complex editor configurations, developers can generate production-ready setups with a single command.
Turned a developer adoption challenge into a product opportunity. The CLI provides ready-to-use UI components, configurations, and full editor setups, which makes Tiptap integration faster and more accessible for teams working with AI tools.

Eliminated context switching by keeping developers in their terminal environment.

Single command transforms hours of integration work into seconds of setup.
The CLI now serves as one of the primary entry points for Tiptap integration, especially when working with AI agents. AI can use CLI commands directly to scaffold whole editors or single UI components into an application's working directory, with the CLI providing the necessary context for proper integration. This enables AI workflows where agents can autonomously set up complex editor configurations, custom extensions, and advanced features without human intervention.
AI agents have a version problem. They choose package versions based on their training data, which means they often install outdated patterns that break in newer projects. An agent might suggest React 17 syntax in a React 18 codebase, or reference APIs that no longer exist. The CLI solves this by bundling exact versions and configurations that work together. When an agent runs npx @tiptap/cli add editor, it gets a setup with the current library versions and working examples.
Beyond serving UI components, the CLI handles complete developer onboarding while keeping them in their development environment. Previously, the integration process forced developers to leave their development workflow, log into dashboards, navigate through options, and manually retrieve API keys and configuration details. Now developers and AI agents can start document servers directly from the CLI and retrieve all necessary authentication tokens and integration information from the comfort of their terminal, eliminating context switching and workflow interruption.
