MiniMax launches MMX-CLI, an open-source command-line tool enabling AI agents to handle text, images, video, speech, music, vision, and web search without requiring MCP servers.

Seven integrated command groups (mmx text, mmx image, mmx video, mmx speech, mmx music, mmx vision, mmx search) provide comprehensive AI capabilities through a single CLI

Agent-oriented design separates UI output to stderr and clean JSON/paths to stdout, eliminating regex parsing hacks and enabling semantic exit codes for pipeline error handling

Built in TypeScript (99.8%) using Bun runtime and distributed via npm, with direct integration support for Claude Code, Cursor, and OpenClaw without MCP server setup

Features async video generation with --async/--no-wait flags to prevent hangs during Hailuo-2.3 processing, plus subject-ref option for visual consistency across image batches
