For Claude Code
Last updated July 28, 2026 — Updated for Claude Opus 4.7
Give Claude Code the media tools your workflow needs.
Generate, inspect, and deliver assets from the terminal.
Watch Claude Code install AnyCap from a natural-language prompt — skill discovery, CLI setup, authentication, and first image generation in one uninterrupted flow.
Claude Code handles planning, code changes, and terminal work. When the task also needs a generated image, a video render, focused visual analysis, or audio transcription, AnyCap supplies those actions through one skill and CLI. Ask for a launch visual, a walkthrough clip, or a screenshot review in plain English; Claude Code can run the corresponding AnyCap command and keep the returned file or URL in the same project workflow.
Just tell Claude Code what you need — like help me install anycap.ai. It can discover the skill, install the CLI, guide authentication, and call the appropriate capability from the same terminal session. You can also run each setup step manually.
Start in natural language. Keep manual control when you want it.
Get started
Just ask. Claude Code does the rest.
Tell Claude Code what you need in natural language and it can walk through skill discovery, CLI installation, authentication, and the first capability call in the same terminal session. The manual commands remain available when you want to inspect or control each step.
What you say to Claude Code
Help me install anycap.ai
Claude Code reads the prompt, discovers the AnyCap skill, installs the CLI, authenticates, and is ready to call anycap image generate, anycap video generate, or any other capability — automatically.
Prefer to install manually? Here are the three steps.
Step 1
Install the skill
npx -y skills add anycap-ai/anycap -a claude-code -y
This teaches Claude Code how to discover and invoke the AnyCap capability runtime.
Step 2
Install the CLI
curl -fsSL https://anycap.ai/install.sh | sh
The CLI is a single binary with no runtime dependencies — it runs directly in Claude Code's terminal session.
Step 3
Log in and verify
anycap login && anycap status
After authentication, Claude Code can move across image, video, and vision capabilities without new credentials or dashboard detours.
For a full walkthrough, see the install guide.
Why it fits
Built for the way Claude Code already works
AnyCap installs cleanly into Claude Code because it was designed for the same constraints: local terminal execution, filesystem access, and skill-based discovery.
Local terminal execution
Claude Code runs directly in your terminal alongside your codebase. The AnyCap CLI is a dependency-free binary that installs and authenticates in the same session, so capabilities are available without leaving the terminal.
Filesystem integration
Claude Code has direct access to your project files. AnyCap returns file paths and CDN URLs that Claude Code can save into project directories, embed in markdown, or hand off to downstream tooling.
One credential, every capability
Without a runtime layer, adding image generation, video generation, and vision means three separate provider credentials. AnyCap consolidates them into one login that covers the full stack.
Real workflow
What a Claude Code + AnyCap session looks like
The commands below are runnable in a Claude Code terminal session. The output is representative: filenames, dimensions, processing time, and CDN availability vary by model and request.
Image generation — text-to-image
$
anycap image generate --model seedream-5 --prompt "a minimal SaaS dashboard on a light background, clean UI, rounded corners" -o dashboard-hero.png
Generating image with seedream-5...
Image saved to dashboard-hero.png (1024x1024, 487KB)
CDN URL: https://cdn.anycap.ai/...
Image understanding — screenshot analysis
$
anycap image read --file ./bug-screenshot.png --prompt "What UI issue do you see?"
The modal overlay clips the submit button at viewport widths below 640px. The button is partially hidden behind the bottom edge of the dialog container. This appears to be a CSS overflow issue on the parent .modal-body element.
Video generation — demo clip
$
anycap video generate --model veo-3-1 --prompt "a developer typing in a dark terminal, smooth camera push-in, ambient desk lighting"
Generating video with veo-3-1...

Capability gap
What you get after one conversation
Claude Code stays focused on code and terminal execution while AnyCap fills the generation, analysis, search, storage, and publishing gaps that sit outside its built-in surface area.
| Capability | Claude Code alone | Add with AnyCap | Best next step |
|---|---|---|---|
| Image generation | No image output from terminal | Generate visuals and mockups via anycap image generate | Image Generation page |
| Video generation | No video tooling in CLI workflow | Create walkthroughs and clips via anycap video generate | Video Generation page |
| Music generation | No music generation in CLI workflow | Create background tracks through the AnyCap music runtime | Music Generation page |
| Image understanding | No unified vision runtime | Read screenshots, diagrams, and visual references | Image Understanding page |
| Video analysis | Requires separate provider setup | Inspect recordings from the same CLI | Video Analysis page |
| Audio understanding | No unified audio analysis runtime | Transcribe and analyze audio through one runtime | Audio Understanding page |
| Web search | Search depends on external tooling | Search the web from the same capability layer | Web Search page |
| Grounded web search | No grounded search flow in task loop | Run grounded search when the answer needs citations | Grounded Web Search page |
| Web crawl | No reusable crawl runtime | Crawl pages and extract content from one CLI | Web Crawl page |
| Drive storage | No shared asset storage layer | Store outputs with public URLs in AnyCap Drive | Pricing page |
| Page hosting | No built-in page publishing surface | Publish simple pages through AnyCap Page | Pricing page |
| One auth flow | Per-provider credential management | One login across the capability stack | Get Started page |

FAQ
Can Claude Code analyze videos?
Claude Code does not ship with a built-in video-analysis runtime. With AnyCap installed, it can call the video-read action on a remote video or uploaded local recording, ask a focused question, and use the returned findings in the same terminal workflow. Use the Video Analysis capability page for supported inputs, CLI examples, representative output, and limitations.
Can Claude Code generate images on its own?
No. Claude Code focuses on code reasoning, planning, and terminal execution. It has no built-in image generation runtime. AnyCap adds that capability through one skill install and one CLI, so Claude Code can produce visuals without leaving your terminal session or wiring a separate image provider.
Why use AnyCap instead of wiring providers directly?
Wiring a separate image API, a video API, and a vision API means managing three sets of credentials, SDKs, and authentication flows. AnyCap consolidates those into one CLI and one login that Claude Code can invoke directly from your terminal. One skill install replaces multiple provider integrations.
Does AnyCap replace Claude Code?
No. AnyCap is not an agent. It is a capability runtime that runs alongside Claude Code. You keep Claude Code for code, planning, and terminal execution, and add the image, video, and vision tools it does not ship with. AnyCap extends Claude Code — it never competes with it.
What is the fastest path to add tools to Claude Code?
Just tell Claude Code 'help me install anycap.ai' in natural language. It discovers the skill, installs the CLI, authenticates, and is ready to generate images or video immediately. No commands to memorize. If you prefer manual control, you can also install the skill and CLI yourself in three steps.
Does AnyCap work inside the Claude Code terminal?
Yes. The AnyCap CLI is a single binary with no external dependencies. It runs directly in Claude Code's terminal session, sends API requests to the AnyCap server, and returns file paths or URLs that Claude Code can use in subsequent steps, embed in code, or save to your project directory.
