Hi everyone. I've published the new Zaparoo CLI, along with seven Agent Skills for developing integrations, testing changes, and working with Zaparoo devices.

This is now the supported starting point for new command-line and AI-assisted Zaparoo development. If you want an agent to diagnose a Core device, prototype an integration, or check behavior against the public APIs, this is the package to give it.

The CLI is available now as @zaparoo/cli.

Hi everyone. I want to talk about Zaparoo Online properly for the first time.

Zaparoo Online isn't new. I've been poking at it on and off for a while now, adding things like online cards, decks and game distribution as I found places where an internet service could help. There were some cool ideas in there, but if you asked me exactly what Online was supposed to become, I don't think I had a very good answer.

I think I do now.

The first part is automatic device backups. The second is a new User API that lets you give apps access to your own Zaparoo data. They solve different problems, but together they finally gave Online a clear job: protect your setup off-site and let apps you choose do more with your Zaparoo data, without making normal Core use depend on an account.

Hey! I've just published a new official Zaparoo MCP server that can be used with AI assistants. I'll be going over a few examples of how it's been useful for me in development, and maybe someone else will find it fun to mess around with too.
