AI Agents & the Printago CLI

Printago is built so an AI agent can run your print farm the way a person would. List printers, queue jobs, process orders, and troubleshoot the queue, all in plain language. The agent works through the same API that powers the dashboard, so anything you can do in the UI, an agent can do for you.

This is not a chatbot bolted onto the side. It is direct, structured access to every operation, designed from the ground up for tool-use agents like Claude.

A Command-Line Client Built for Agents

The Printago CLI wraps every REST endpoint behind a single printago command. Install it with Homebrew, npm, or a one-line script on macOS, Linux, or Windows, then authenticate once.

It is designed to be driven by an agent as easily as by a person:

• Structured output. Piped commands return clean JSON envelopes, so an agent parses results directly with no screen-scraping.
• Self-describing. The CLI lists its own commands and resolves each request body into a field list, so an agent rarely needs to read the spec.
• Action hints. Ask the CLI what you can do with a printer or a job, and it returns the available actions mapped to the exact commands that perform them.

People get the same benefits: a fast, scriptable way to manage a farm of 10 or 1,000 printers from the terminal.

Claude Code Skill

The CLI ships as a skill for Claude Code. Point Claude at your project and ask it to manage your farm in everyday language: "show me which printers are idle," or "requeue the failed jobs from order 1234." Claude runs the commands and reads the results, handling multi-step workflows like upload to part to print without being told how each time.

The Same API, Structured for Machines

Every AI workflow is backed by the public Printago REST API, the same one the dashboard uses. Over 300 endpoints, real-time MQTT events, and a published OpenAPI spec mean your agents, scripts, and integrations are first-class citizens, not an afterthought.

Build your own automations, plug Printago into an existing agent, or let the CLI and Claude skill do the work. The farm is yours to program.
