AI Workflow Builder

Chain any combination of muapi.ai generation steps into automated pipelines. The AI architect converts your plain-language description into a runnable node graph.

Prerequisites

Always ensure the muapi CLI is up-to-date before running any commands. Reinstall from source at the start of every session:

pip install --upgrade /path/to/muapi-cli

Replace /path/to/muapi-cli with the actual path to the muapi-cli directory in the workspace (the directory containing pyproject.toml).

Core Operations

Generate (generate-workflow.sh) — AI architect creates a workflow from a description

Discover (discover-workflow.sh) — Find a relevant existing workflow by natural language

Edit (generate-workflow.sh --workflow-id) — Modify an existing workflow with a prompt

Interactive Run (interactive-run.sh) — Prompt for inputs and execute a workflow

Run (run-workflow.sh) — Execute a workflow, poll node-by-node, collect outputs

CLI (muapi workflow) — Full CRUD + visualization directly from the terminal

Agent Guided Discovery & Selection

As an AI agent, you have the ability to read and understand the purpose of available workflows to select the best one for the user's task (e.g., "create a UGC video").

Discover: Fetch the catalog of available workflows and their descriptions in JSON format.
muapi workflow discover --output-json

Match (Internal Reasoning): Use your LLM capabilities to analyze the name, category, and description fields of the returned workflows. Find the best match for the user's intent.

Analyze: If you find a promising candidate, inspect its structure to ensure it has the necessary nodes and parameters.
muapi workflow get <workflow_id>

CRITICAL RULE: The output of muapi workflow get will include an "API Inputs" table. You MUST read this table to understand what inputs are required.

Choose & Confirm & Prompt User:

If one workflow is a perfect match, you MUST ask the user to provide the exact values for the required API inputs before executing it. Never invent or guess input values (like prompts, URLs, etc.) on your own.

If multiple workflows are highly relevant, present the options to the user with their descriptions and ask them to confirm which one to use, and also ask for the required inputs.

If no workflow matches the user's complex request, offer to architect a new one using muapi workflow create.

Example Agent Reasoning

"The user wants a product promo video. I fetched the catalog using discover. I see two potential workflows:

wf_123: 'Product promo with background music'

wf_456: 'Simple video gen'
I will analyze wf_123 with get. It has the required nodes. I will suggest wf_123 or just run it if the match is precise."

Protocol: Building a Workflow

Step 1 — Describe your pipeline

muapi workflow create "take a text prompt, generate an image with flux-dev, then upscale it to 4K"

The architect returns a workflow with a unique ID and a node graph. Save the ID.

Step 2 — Inspect and visualize

# Rich ASCII node graph in the terminal
muapi workflow get <workflow_id>

# Or raw JSON
muapi workflow get <workflow_id> --output-json

Step 3 — Run it

# Run with specific inputs
muapi workflow execute <workflow_id> \
  --input "node1.prompt=a glowing crystal cave at midnight"

# Use --download to pull results locally
muapi workflow execute <workflow_id> \
  --input "node1.prompt=a sunset" \
  --download ./outputs

Step 4 — Discovery (Optional)

If you want to reuse an existing workflow instead of creating a new one:

# Search by keywords
muapi workflow discover "ugc video"

Step 5 — Interactive Execution

Run a workflow and have the CLI prompt you for each required input:

muapi workflow run-interactive <workflow_id>

Workflow Examples

Image Pipelines

# Text → Image → Upscale
muapi workflow create "take a text prompt, generate with flux-dev, upscale the result"

# Text → Image → Background removal → Product shot
muapi workflow create "generate a product image with hidream, remove background, create professional product shot"

Video Pipelines

# Text → Video
muapi workflow create "generate a 10-second cinematic video from a text prompt using kling-master"

# Image → Video → Lipsync
muapi workflow create "animate an input image with seedance, then apply lipsync from an audio file"

Editing an Existing Workflow

# Add a step
muapi workflow edit <id> --prompt "add a face-swap step after the image generation"

# Swap a model
muapi workflow edit <id> --prompt "change the video model from kling to veo3"

CLI Reference

# List all your workflows
muapi workflow list

# Browse templates
muapi workflow templates

# Generate new workflow
muapi workflow create "text → flux image → upscale → face swap"

# Visualize a workflow
muapi workflow get <id>

# Execute with inputs
muapi workflow execute <id> --input "node1.prompt=a sunset"

# Monitor a run
muapi workflow status <run_id>

# Get outputs
muapi workflow outputs <run_id> --download ./results

# Edit with AI
muapi workflow edit <id> --prompt "add lipsync at the end"

# Rename / delete
muapi workflow rename <id> --name "Product Pipeline v2"
muapi workflow delete <id>

MCP Tools (for AI agents)

Tool
Description

muapi_workflow_list
List user's workflows

muapi_workflow_create
AI architect: prompt → workflow

muapi_workflow_get
Get workflow definition + node graph

muapi_workflow_execute
Run with specific inputs

muapi_workflow_status
Node-by-node run status

muapi_workflow_outputs
Final output URLs

Constraints

Workflows can contain any combination of muapi.ai nodes (image, video, audio, enhance, edit)

Node outputs are automatically wired as inputs to downstream nodes

--sync mode waits up to 120s for generation; use --async for complex workflows and poll separately

Run timeouts: 10 minutes maximum per workflow execution
