Developers

Drive everything from the terminal.

Every API resource has a matching crewship command. Agents and scripts use the same surface you click, and manifests describe a whole organisation as files. Most documented CLI and API contracts are marked Experimental; check each page’s stability label before relying on it.

Quickstart CLI reference

Quickstart

One command on macOS or Linux.

Install, check your container runtime with crewship doctor, then crewship start. The first visit to :8080 creates the owner account.

API and manifests

One versioned surface.

The REST API under /api/v1/, realtime over WebSocket, signed webhooks and manifests cover the same ground as the app.

REST API

58 resources, an OpenAPI document served by your instance, RFC 7807 errors, CLI tokens.

API reference

Webhooks and WebSocket

Inbound agent webhooks signed with HMAC-SHA256 and a 5-minute replay window; live updates over WebSocket.

For agents

Your agents can drive it too.

The CLI and the API are built for scripts and agents first: one call to learn every command, an MCP server, and plain-text summaries for crawlers.

One call, every command

crewship commands --format json dumps the whole tree so an agent learns it at once.

An MCP server

crewship mcp serve exposes Crewship to agents that speak MCP.

llms.txt

crewship.ai/llms.txt and llms-full.txt summarise the product for language models.

Releases and upgrades

Pin a tag, or ride the nightly.

Every merge to main ships as a signed nightly. crewship self-update verifies the SHA-256 and the Sigstore signature, keeps a backup and swaps atomically.
