@ia-qa/cli

Run ia-qa.com's 148 QA / LLM / dev tools from your shell — for AI agents (Claude Code, Copilot CLI, Cursor agents) and humans. Zero dependencies. No signup.

Most tools run key-free. For the LLM-powered ones (e.g. VLM test suites, LLM-judge eval), bring your own key (BYOK) — pass it as a parameter; nothing is stored.

The CLI carries no business logic: it discovers tools from the public MCP manifest and runs them on the hosted server (https://www.ia-qa.com). Requires Node ≥ 18.

Install

# One-off, no install:
npx @ia-qa/cli --help

# Or global:
npm install -g @ia-qa/cli
ia-qa --help

# Or download the zip from https://www.ia-qa.com/downloads/ia-qa-cli.zip and:
node ia-qa.js --help

Use

ia-qa --help                       # categories + examples
ia-qa list [--category encoding]   # every tool, one line each
ia-qa <tool> --help                # flags for one tool

ia-qa generate_uuid --count 3
ia-qa base64_encode "hello"
ia-qa hash_text "secret" --algorithm sha256
echo '{"b":2,"a":1}' | ia-qa format_json --stdin

ia-qa text_stats "hello world" --json           # machine JSON to stdout
ia-qa split_chunks "$(cat doc.txt)" --chunk_size 256 --out chunks.json

• --json emits machine-parsable JSON (default is human-readable).
• Large outputs are written to a temp file and the path is printed; --out <file> chooses it.
• --stdin (or - as the positional) reads the primary input from stdin.
• --server <url> / $IAQA_SERVER point at another server (default https://www.ia-qa.com, or a self-hosted ia-qa server).
• BYOK for LLM tools — pass your key as a parameter, e.g. ia-qa run_vlm_test_suite --image_url <url> --api_key "$OPENAI_API_KEY" --model gpt-4o.
• Exit codes: 0 success · 2 bad input / missing param · 1 unexpected / server error.

Also available as MCP

Every tool here is also callable over the Model Context Protocol — point Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP client at https://www.ia-qa.com/mcp.
