I’ve put together an open-source CLI tool for Manager.io self-hosted edition that provides command-line access to the REST API v2. It also includes skill definitions for AI coding agents (Claude Code, OpenClaw, etc.).
It’s a single Bash script with no dependencies beyond curl and jq. Works on macOS, Linux, and WSL.

This might be useful for these cases
- Automation: script repetitive accounting tasks — bulk imports, periodic reports, data extraction — without clicking through the UI
- Integration: connect Manager.io to other systems (CRMs, e-commerce platforms, custom dashboards) using simple shell commands
- AI assistants: let an AI agent query your accounting data in natural language — useful for quick lookups without opening the browser
- Remote monitoring: check balances, overdue invoices, or run reports from a terminal or over SSH
- Backups & auditing: periodically export data in JSON for archival or external analysis
This is still a work in progress. Feedback, suggestions, and contributions are welcome.
