MiniMax MMX-CLI — Multimodal CLI for AI Agents
MiniMax ships a CLI that gives AI agents native access to seven generative modalities — text, image, video, speech, music, vision, and search — without MCP integration. Works with OpenClaw, Cursor, Claude Code out of the box.
A CLI that lets AI agents generate images, video, speech, and music with a single natural-language command.

What is it?
MMX-CLI is MiniMax's official command-line interface that wraps the company's full-modal generative stack into seven command groups: mmx text, mmx image, mmx video, mmx speech, mmx music, mmx vision, and mmx search. It is built specifically for AI agents — OpenClaw, Cursor, Claude Code, and similar tools can add it with a single skill-install command and learn the interface from bundled documentation.
How does it work?
The CLI exposes MiniMax's APIs through a terminal interface optimized for agent use. It includes non-interactive execution flags, clean stdout/stderr separation for piping, structured exit codes, and a schema-export feature that registers mmx commands as JSON tool definitions. For human developers, it works as a standard CLI with streaming output and progress tracking. Dual-region support covers both Global and China platforms.
Why does it matter?
Most agent frameworks still treat media generation as an afterthought — agents can reason and code, but generating an image or synthesizing speech requires custom tool wiring. MMX-CLI makes seven modalities available through a unified interface that agents can learn from a single SKILL.md file. For agent developers, this is the fastest path to multimodal output without building MCP servers or API integrations.
Who is it for?
AI agent developers who want to add multimodal generation capabilities to their agents.
