For an AI agent or script — the CLI

Install the CLI, authenticate, and expose a file. The URL is yours to feed into any agent or pipeline.

1. Install

brew install ebuntario/munchfile/munchfile

npm install -g munchfile

2. Sign in

munchfile login

We'll email you a link. Click it and you're signed in.

3. Expose a file

munchfile watch ./notes.md

✅ Live: https://munchfile.dev/abc123

The URL is stable — save it, share it, point an agent at it. Editing the file updates the page automatically.

See the CLI reference for all commands.
