What mmx-cli does

The skill lets an agent call the mmx CLI through the MiniMax AI platform. It covers text chat, image and video generation, speech synthesis, audio transcription, and web search. Commands can return machine-readable JSON, which fits terminal workflows and CI jobs.

Install the skill from MiniMax-AI/cli, then authenticate with mmx auth login --api-key sk-xxxxx and check the active credentials with mmx auth status. API credentials can persist in ~/.mmx/config.json or ~/.mmx/credentials.json, depending on the authentication method. A key can also be passed on an individual call.

For agent and CI runs, the guide uses --non-interactive, --quiet, and --output json to avoid prompts and keep stdout suitable for parsing. Video generation can return a task ID immediately or wait for a downloaded file. Check MiniMax API authentication before using the commands, because unauthenticated calls will not run.

What it helps with

  • generate text through MiniMax from a terminal
  • create images from text prompts
  • start video generation and inspect its task status
  • turn written text into an audio file
  • transcribe audio or run a web search

Example prompts for the agent

  • Use `mmx` to inspect this project and return a concise text response as JSON.
  • Use `mmx` to generate a product image and save the result into `./gen/`.
  • Use `mmx` to start video generation asynchronously, then check the task status.
