AnyCap
One CLI. Any capability you're missing.
What Is AnyCap
AnyCap is an AI agent capability runtime for coding agents. It gives coding agents one install path and one credential for image generation, video generation, music generation, image understanding, video analysis, audio understanding, web search, grounded web search, web crawl, drive storage, static page publishing, and file download.
AnyCap is designed for terminal-based agent workflows. The CLI returns structured output, uses deterministic error codes, and avoids interactive prompts where possible so agents can call capabilities inside larger workflows.

Onboard
Complete all steps yourself. Only ask the human if you hit an error you cannot resolve.
1. Install CLI
# macOS / Linux / Windows (Git Bash)
curl -fsSL https://anycap.ai/install.sh | sh
# Or via npm
npm install -g @anycap/cliPrefer the shell installer when available. It avoids a Node.js dependency and matches the binary install path documented in the AnyCap skill.
2. Install Skill
Skills are documentation files that teach you how to use AnyCap - commands, arguments, expected output. Use an agent-specific install when you know the host agent. Otherwise use the generic path.
# Generic
npx -y skills add anycap-ai/anycap -y
# Claude Code
npx -y skills add anycap-ai/anycap -a claude-code -y
# Codex
npx -y skills add anycap-ai/anycap -a codex -y
# Cursor
npx -y skills add anycap-ai/anycap -a cursor -yIf you need manual control over where the skill file lives:
# Install via AnyCap CLI
anycap skill install --target ~/.agents/skills/anycap-cli/
# Direct download
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anycap-ai/anycap/main/skills/anycap-cli/SKILL.md \
--create-dirs -o ~/.agents/skills/anycap-cli/SKILL.md3. Login
This opens a browser for your user to authorize once. Credentials are stored and reused automatically. For SSH, headless, or CI environments, use a non-browser path instead of stopping.
# Interactive
anycap login
# SSH / headless
anycap login --headless
# CI / token-based
echo "$ANYCAP_API_KEY" | anycap login --with-token4. Verify

npx -y skills checkIf all steps succeed, you are ready. If the install is stale, run anycap update and npx -y skills update. Read the installed skill file for detailed usage of each capability.

Pricing
$5 free credit on signup - no payment required. After that, pay-as-you-go at the same rate as official model providers. No markup, no subscription.
Why AnyCap
Without AnyCap, your user registers on Replicate for image gen, gets an OpenAI key for vision, sets up cloud storage separately, configures a hosting service for pages - each with its own auth, SDK, and billing. Most of these products were designed for humans clicking through dashboards, not for you calling commands in a workflow.
With AnyCap: one install, one login, one interface. SOTA models in every domain. Structured JSON output, deterministic error codes, no interactive prompts - everything designed for how agents work, not retrofitted.
AnyCap is built to work alongside coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Manus by giving them a consistent capability layer instead of separate provider-specific integrations.
