Kane CLI By TestMu AI

What is Kane CLI By TestMu AI

Kane CLI is an AI-powered browser automation tool that runs from your terminal. It allows you to describe what you want to test in plain English, and it navigates websites, clicks elements, fills forms, extracts data, and validates outcomes in a real Chrome browser. No test scripts, no selectors, and no framework boilerplate are required. It can be integrated into CI/CD pipelines with headless mode, structured JSON output, and standard exit codes. It can also be used as a skill in AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI.

How to use Kane CLI By TestMu AI

1. Install Kane CLI globally via npm: npm install -g @testmuai/kane-cli
2. Run a test by describing the desired flow in natural language from your terminal or IDE.
3. Kane CLI executes the flow in a real browser, verifies each step, and returns pass or fail.
4. For CI/CD, use headless mode to run tests without a visible browser.
5. AI coding agents can invoke Kane CLI directly to test and verify web UIs.
