| description | Generates images, videos, audio, speech, and music using MuleRouter or MuleRun multimodal APIs. Text-to-Image, Image-to-Image, Text-to-Video, Image-to-Video, Reference-to-Video, Video-to-Video, video editing (VACE, keyframe interpolation), Text-to-Speech, Text-to-Music. Use when the user wants to generate, edit, or transform images, videos, speech, or music using AI models like Wan2.6, Veo3, Nano Banana Pro, Midjourney, Kling V3, Kling V3 Omni, MiniMax Speech 2.8, MiniMax Music 2.5, ByteDance Seedance 2.0. |
| compatibility | Requires Node.js 18+, the `mulerouter` npm CLI, MULEROUTER_API_KEY env var, and one of MULEROUTER_BASE_URL or MULEROUTER_SITE env var. Needs network access to api.mulerouter.ai or api.mulerun.com. The API key is sent in Authorization headers to the configured endpoint. |

MuleRouter API
Generate images, videos, speech, and music via the mulerouter npm CLI, which fronts the MuleRouter / MuleRun multimodal API gateways.
Every model is invoked as mulerouter run <provider>/<model>/<action> --flag value …. The CLI handles task submission, polling, image base64 conversion, and result extraction.
Required Environment Variables
| Variable | Required | Description |
|---|
MULEROUTER_API_KEY | Yes | API key (get one here) |
MULEROUTER_BASE_URL | Yes* | Full base URL, e.g. https://api.mulerouter.ai. Wins over SITE. |
MULEROUTER_SITE | Yes* | mulerouter or mulerun. Used only if BASE_URL unset. |
*One of MULEROUTER_BASE_URL / MULEROUTER_SITE is required.
Only MULEROUTER_*-prefixed variables are loaded from .env. Do NOT export secrets inline — use .env or a pre-set shell env.
Installation
npm install -g mulerouter
mulerouter --version
mulerouter config
Discovery & invocation
Always discover before invoking. The CLI is self-documenting.
mulerouter list [--provider X] [--site mulerouter|mulerun] [--tag SOTA]
mulerouter params <provider>/<model>/<action>
mulerouter run <provider>/<model>/<action> --flag value ...
Run mulerouter params <id> instead of guessing flag names or memorising enums. The per-endpoint sections below only list the non-obvious items (site requirement, special quirks); fall back to params for everything else.
Common flags
| Flag | Default | Notes |
|---|
--site mulerouter|mulerun | env | Required for endpoints routed on only one gateway (see Models). |
--no-wait | off | Submit and return {task_id, api_path} without polling. |
--poll-interval <sec> | 20 | Polling cadence when waiting. |
--max-wait <sec> | 900 | Hard timeout. Use ≥1800 for long videos, ~120 for images. |
--json | off | Machine-readable output. |
--api-key / --base-url | env | One-off overrides. |
Async lifecycle: mulerouter run ... --no-wait --json → grab task_id and api_path from the JSON (both top-level task_id and task_info.id are present) → mulerouter status <api_path> <task_id> [--wait]. All endpoints go through this task-poll flow; some (like midjourney/diffusion) typically complete on the first poll, but there is no synchronous code path.
The CLI does not validate model parameter constraints client-side beyond enum membership — numeric range hints (e.g. "duration 3..15"), "at-least-one-of" requirements (e.g. kling i2v needs first or last frame), and conditional requirements are enforced by the upstream API. Bad inputs come back as a 400 from the server.
Image inputs
Flags --image / --images / --first-frame / --last-frame / --last-frame-image / --first-frame-url / --last-frame-url / --ref-images-url / --reference-images / --mask / --mask-image-url accept local paths (auto-validated and base64-encoded), HTTPS URLs, or data:image/... URIs. For array-typed flags pass a single-quoted JSON literal: --images '["/tmp/a.png","https://example.com/b.png"]'. Same convention for --multi-prompt, --elements, --video, --videos, --audios.
--model flag
Never pass --model except:
alibaba/wan2.1-vace-plus/generation — must pass --model wan2.1-vace-plus (legacy).google/veo3/generation — pass --model {veo-3.1, veo-3.1-fast, veo-3} to pick the variant.
Models
Format: endpoint — --site <site> — api_path — notes (only when something is non-obvious). Run mulerouter params <endpoint> for the full flag schema.

Midjourney (2)
midjourney/diffusion/generation [SOTA] — any site — /vendors/midjourney/v1/tob/diffusion — typically completes on the first poll. Use Midjourney inline syntax inside --prompt (--ar 16:9, --v 7, etc.).midjourney/video/generation [SOTA] — any site — /vendors/midjourney/v1/tob/video-diffusion — for I2V, embed the image URL inside --prompt. --video-type 0 (480p, default) / 1 (720p).

minimax/speech-2.8-hd/generation — /vendors/minimax/v1/speech-2.8-hd/text-to-speech/generation — requires --prompt + --voice-id (see MINIMAX_VOICES.md). ⚠ Output schema — two paths:
- Recommended: pass
--output-format url → audios[0] is an HTTPS URL, same as music endpoints.
- Fallback (
--output-format hex or when the URL path returns hex anyway): audios[0] is a hex-encoded MP3 byte string (with ID3 header). Decode: echo "<hex>" | xxd -r -p > out.mp3; report the local file path.
minimax/speech-2.8-turbo/generation — /vendors/minimax/v1/speech-2.8-turbo/text-to-speech/generation — same flags + same --output-format handling as -hd.minimax/music-2.0/generation — /vendors/minimax/v1/music-2.0/text-to-music/generation — requires --lyrics-prompt (use [verse] / [chorus] tags). --prompt describes style. Output: real HTTPS URL in audios[0] (gateway always converts to URL, no --output-format needed).minimax/music-2.5/generation — /vendors/minimax/v1/music-2.5/text-to-music/generation — provide either --lyrics-prompt or --lyrics-optimizer + --prompt. Output: real HTTPS URL in audios[0].

ByteDance Seedance (6)
Any site. seedance-2.0-fast caps at 720p and does not accept camera_fixed / watermark.
bytedance/seedance-2.0/text-to-video and bytedance/seedance-2.0-fast/text-to-video.bytedance/seedance-2.0/image-to-video and bytedance/seedance-2.0-fast/image-to-video — local paths auto-base64; optional --last-frame-image.bytedance/seedance-2.0/reference-to-video and bytedance/seedance-2.0-fast/reference-to-video — combine --images / --videos / --audios. --videos only accepts HTTPS URLs; --audios cannot be used alone.
Seedance constraints: --duration is {-1, 4..15} (no 2 or 3); --seed range -1..4294967295.
Model selection
When the user is vague about which model to use, list candidates with mulerouter list --output-type <type> [--tag SOTA] and ask the user via AskUserQuestion. Never silently pick.
Tips
- Suggested
--max-wait: image 300, video 900–1800, speech/music 180.
- TTS requires
--voice-id; check mulerouter params minimax/speech-2.8-turbo/generation or MINIMAX_VOICES.md.
- Do not paste raw base64 on the command line — use a local file path.
- Match
--site to the original submission when calling mulerouter status.
