What is lix.sh?

lix.sh is the Lix API reference, published as a read-only SSH filesystem powered by OpenLore. AI coding agents (Claude, Codex, Cursor, GPT) can explore it with the bash commands they already know β€” ls, cat, grep, find, tree, sed, awk β€” without needing an MCP server, a RAG pipeline, or copy-pasting the whole reference into a context window.

No SSH key required. Connections are fully anonymous. No process execution, no network egress, no shell injection β€” it's an in-memory bash interpreter operating on a virtual filesystem. Safe to point any agent at.

Recipes for agents

# See what's there
ssh lix.sh "ls /api"
ssh lix.sh "tree -L 2 /"

# Find the endpoint that does what you need
ssh lix.sh "grep -rli 'company' /api"
ssh lix.sh "grep -rn  'POST '   /api"
ssh lix.sh "grep -rn  'GET '    /api"

# Pull just the section you need β€” saves your context window
ssh lix.sh "sed -n '/## Email from LinkedIn profile/,/^## /p' /api/contact.md"

# Mount it as a local read-only filesystem (sshfs)
sshfs lix.sh:/ /mnt/lix-docs -o ro
grep -r "credit" /mnt/lix-docs/

Teach your agent

Add a one-liner to your agent's instructions (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, system prompt, etc.):

For Lix API reference, query the docs over SSH:
    ssh lix.sh "tree -L 2 /"
    ssh lix.sh "cat /api/<endpoint>.md"
    ssh lix.sh "grep -rli <keyword> /api"
No key required. Read-only, in-memory bash β€” safe to call from tools.

For authenticated API calls, install the lix-agents skill β€” it lets agents request short-lived API tokens with human email approval, then points them back here for endpoint details.

Other ways in

SSH

ssh lix.sh "tree -L 2 /"
Port 22, anonymous, read-only.

SFTP / sshfs

sshfs lix.sh:/ /mnt/docs -o ro
Mount as a local filesystem.

MCP

Use the OpenLore MCP server if you'd rather not shell out.
