muapi-cli

muapi CLI

Official command-line interface for muapi.ai — generate images, videos, and audio directly from your terminal.

Agent-first design — every command works for both humans (colored output, tables) and AI agents (--output-json, --jq filtering, semantic exit codes, MCP server mode).
