## What it is
muapi-cli and its Generative Media Skills provide a schema-driven CLI, skill library, and MCP server that let AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenCode) generate, edit, and display images, videos, and audio via the MuAPI platform. MuAPI exposes 100-500+ third-party generative models (Flux, Kling, Veo, Seedance, Suno, Midjourney, GPT-Image) behind a single pay-per-generation API.

## Use cases
- generate ai images from the terminal
- create ai videos with kling or veo from an agent
- add media generation skills to claude code
- generate music with suno via api
- chain image and video models into a workflow
- replace multiple provider sdks with one media api
- set up an mcp server for generative media

## When to choose
- you want AI coding agents to generate images, video, or audio as part of their workflow
- you need one unified API/CLI across many generative model providers instead of separate SDKs
- you want pay-per-generation pricing without a subscription
- you use Claude Code, Cursor, or Gemini CLI and want ready-made media skills

## When to avoid
- you need fully self-hosted or offline media generation
- you require a GUI studio rather than a CLI/agent workflow
- you don't want to depend on a third-party commercial API for your media pipeline
- your budget is sensitive to per-generation API costs at high volume
