Muapi CLI, developed by Samuraigpt, is the official command-line interface for the muapi.ai platform. This tool enables users to interact with a generative AI API offering over 100 models for image, video, audio, and 3D content generation, alongside enhancement and editing functions. Built with Node.js and Python, it supports installation via npm or pip, and can also run without installation using npx. Muapi CLI serves both as a direct terminal interface and as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server.

What does Muapi CLI connect to?

The Muapi CLI connects directly to the muapi.ai platform, a generative AI API provider. This platform delivers access to more than 100 models, supporting diverse tasks such as creating images, videos, audio, and 3D content. It also offers capabilities for media enhancement and editing. Beyond its role as a command-line interface, Muapi CLI functions as an MCP server, enabling programmatic interaction with its AI capabilities and integrating into broader AI ecosystems.

Core features and tools

Muapi CLI provides tools for several key areas. Authentication and account management include muapi auth login, muapi auth configure, and muapi account balance. Media generation offers muapi image generate <prompt>, muapi video generate <prompt>, and muapi audio create <prompt>. Enhancement and editing feature muapi enhance upscale <url>, muapi enhance face-swap --source <url> --target <url>, and muapi edit lipsync --video <url> --audio <url>. Workflow orchestration is managed through muapi workflow discover, muapi workflow create <prompt>, and muapi workflow run-interactive <id>. As an MCP server, it exposes 19 core tools, covering generation, enhancement, and editing.

Who is it for?

Muapi CLI targets individual users interacting via the terminal, AI agents, and coding assistants like Claude Code and Cursor. It also serves developers and builders integrating generative AI into their applications. The tool's dual functionality as a CLI and an MCP server makes it suitable for both direct command execution and programmatic control in automated environments. This is not the right fit if your workflow does not involve terminal-based or programmatic AI interaction.

How to get started

The server authenticates using an API key passed as an environment variable. This uses the MUAPIAPP_API_KEY environment variable for stdio transport when running a local MCP server.

Use cases

• Direct Media Generation: Create images, videos, or audio from text prompts, such as generating a cyberpunk city image.
• AI Workflow Orchestration: Build and execute multi-node AI pipelines using natural language, chaining image generation with upscaling.
• Media Enhancement and Editing: Perform operations like AI image upscaling, face swapping in images/videos, or lip-syncing video to an audio track.

Muapi CLI provides a powerful command-line and server interface for accessing a vast array of generative AI models. It supports various media types and offers tools for creation, enhancement, and complex workflow orchestration. The tool integrates with multiple AI clients, making it versatile for developers and agents.
