Command-line interface that brings world-class DX to voice AI development. Drop Vapi into any project with one command, debug webhooks locally, and turn your IDE into a Vapi expert with MCP integration.
After watching developers struggle with context switching between terminals, dashboards, and IDEs while building voice AI, we knew there had to be a better way.
The Vapi CLI eliminates the friction. Want to add voice AI to your existing React app? vapi init and you're coding. Need to test webhooks? vapi listen and skip ngrok entirely. Tired of your IDE hallucinating our APIs? vapi mcp setup gives it perfect knowledge.
We've supported a ton of tech stacks from day one because voice AI should work with your existing workflow, not against it.
Install in 10 seconds:
curl -sSL https://vapi.ai/install.sh | bash
This goes so hard, can't wait to test it out! Any helpful tips for integrating this with existing applications?
I really love your graphics for this launch. They are very cool and unique. But most important: Congrats on launching! Building a technical product takes time, perhaps even more than a "usual" typical product, so even more congrats haha
Laid out really nice. Took me a while to find the scrollbar, could be lack of sleep.
