comfy-cli provides a terminal interface for ComfyUI, enabling one-command installation and launching of the generative media engine. It supports direct API calls to partner image and video models (Flux, Ideogram, DALL·E, Kling, Runway, etc.) via the generate command, manages custom node installation and updates, and handles model downloads from CivitAI and Hugging Face. The tool also runs workflows against a local ComfyUI server with automatic conversion of UI-format JSON.
