Versions:
ProxyKit CLI is a command-line companion tool developed by ProxyKit, currently at version 1.0.0, with one version available in the catalog. It functions as both a standalone command-line interface and a headless MITM (man-in-the-middle) proxy engine, and is distributed as a separate product from the main ProxyKit application. The tool serves two primary purposes: it can control a ProxyKit proxy engine that is already running, or it can launch its own bundled headless engine directly from the command line. This dual mode of operation makes it suitable for environments where a graphical interface is unavailable or unnecessary, and it is positioned within the developer tools and network utility category. The described use cases center on continuous integration (CI) pipelines and automation workflows, where tasks such as proxy management, traffic interception, and inspection need to run without manual intervention. By bundling a headless engine, ProxyKit CLI removes the dependency on a separately installed desktop application for scripted scenarios, while still retaining the ability to act as a remote control for an existing engine when one is present. Teams working with automated testing, network debugging, or proxy-driven tooling in server environments can integrate the CLI into scripts and build jobs. Because it is explicitly noted as separate from ProxyKit, it can be adopted independently by users who only need command-line and headless capabilities rather than the full application. In its initial 1.0.0 release, ProxyKit CLI establishes the core functionality of engine control and bundled headless operation, providing a single entry point for automation-focused proxy tasks. Overall, ProxyKit CLI offers a lightweight, scriptable way to work with the ProxyKit proxy engine in headless and CI-oriented contexts, complementing the main ProxyKit product for users who require terminal-based control.
