mmx-cli: a Claude Code skill by MiniMax

Official

For developers who want MiniMax models for chat, images, video, speech and transcription from the terminal. Skip it if you have no MiniMax API key or plan.

Before you install: It tells Claude to always pass --yes in agent use, which skips the CLI's own confirmation prompts.

What does mmx-cli do?

mmx-cli is a skill that teaches Claude to drive the mmx command-line tool for the MiniMax AI platform. After npm install -g mmx-cli and mmx auth login, Claude can run text chat, image generate, video generate with async task polling, speech synthesize with optional SRT subtitles, speech transcribe for files up to 50 MB, vision describe and search query. In agent use it adds --non-interactive, --quiet and --output json so stdout stays clean for piping into jq or the next command. It lists exit codes for auth, quota and content-filter failures, shows how to set default models per type, and can export every command as tool schemas.

You want a voiceover or subtitles from a script

How the formula works

Is mmx-cli safe to install?

Every scanner that checked it passed it. Scanners often miss what other scanners catch, and a skill can change after a scan. Read its source before you install it.
