Qlty CLI is one of 3 APIs that [Qlty](https://apis.io/providers/qlty/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include CLI, Linting, Formatting, Static Analysis, and Maintainability. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and an OpenAPI specification.

The free Qlty CLI is a polyglot, Rust-based command-line tool for universal linting, auto-formatting, security scanning, code smells, duplication, and maintainability metrics. It runs 70+ static analysis tools across 40+ languages natively (no Docker), is configured via a .qlty/qlty.toml file, and is free for all use including commercial projects. The CLI is a local developer tool, not an HTTP API; key commands include qlty init, qlty check, qlty fmt, qlty smells, qlty metrics, and qlty coverage publish.
