Install AnyCap
One skill, one CLI, one login.
Install in five steps
1. Install the AnyCap skill for your agent
npx -y skills add anycap-ai/anycap -a claude-code -yUse claude-code, cursor, or codex as the agent target. The skill teaches your agent how to install, authenticate, and call AnyCap without guessing from docs.
2. Install the AnyCap CLI
curl -fsSL https://anycap.ai/install.sh | shOr run npm install -g @anycap/cli if you prefer a package-manager install path. The CLI is the execution surface for every capability.
3. Log in once
anycap loginAuthentication happens once in the browser and covers image, video, vision, search, storage, and publishing workflows.
4. Verify the install
anycap statusConfirm the CLI is authenticated and can reach the AnyCap server before you run your first generation command.
5. Run your first capability command
anycap image generate --prompt "A minimal product icon on a soft green background"Swap image for video, actions image-read, or web search once you know which capability gap you are closing first.
Verify everything works
After login, run a quick status check and list available models before your first generation job.

Claude Code →
Best default when Claude Code is your primary coding agent and you want the deepest capability onboarding path.
npx -y skills add anycap-ai/anycap -a claude-code -yCursor →
Use this when your workflows already live inside Cursor and you want the same capability layer there.
npx -y skills add anycap-ai/anycap -a cursor -yCodex →
Good fit when you want image, video, and vision commands inside Codex without wiring provider SDKs by hand.

No. One anycap login covers image generation, video generation, vision, web search, Drive storage, and Page publishing.
What command should I run first after install?
Run anycap status to verify auth, then anycap image models or anycap video models to see what is available before your first generation request.

anycap statusVersion 0.6.5 retries transient downloads, recovers an expired video link by querying the same task, and saves multiple image outputs to numbered files. After a video download failure, resume the existing task instead of generating again.
