MiniMax just open-sourced MMX-CLI, a command-line tool built specifically for AI agents.
Seven command groups: mmx text, mmx image, mmx video, mmx speech, mmx music, mmx vision, mmx search.
What's different from other AI CLIs:
→ Agent-oriented output: stderr for UI, stdout for clean JSON/paths only. Parseable without regex hacks.
→ Semantic exit codes for error handling in pipelines.
→ Async video: --async or --no-wait flags prevent hangs during Hailuo-2.3 generation.
→ Subject-ref: --subject-ref maintains visual consistency across generated image batches.
→ Install as agent skill: npx skills add MiniMax-AI/cli -y -g
→ No MCP server required to integrate in Claude Code, Cursor, or OpenClaw.
Built in TypeScript (99.8%), uses Bun runtime, distributed via npm (Node.js 18+).
