Maximo Syntax CLI

Maximo Syntax CLI — The official command-line interface natively built for Maximo AI models. Optimized for high-fidelity code generation and agentic task orchestration.

Also compatible with any LLM via OpenAI, Gemini, or Ollama endpoints.

Install

Option A: npm (recommended)

npm install -g @maximoai/maximo-syntax-cli

Option B: From source (requires Bun)

Use Bun 1.3.11 or newer for source builds on Windows. Older Bun versions such as 1.3.4 can fail with a large batch of unresolved module errors during bun run build.

# Clone from maximoai
git clone https://github.com/maximoai/maximo-syntax-cli.git
cd maximo-syntax-cli

# Install dependencies

Usage

After installation, you can invoke the CLI using any of the following commands:

• syntax
• maximo
• maximo-syntax
• maximo-syntax-cli
• claude

All five commands are equivalent and natively supported.

Quick Start

1. Set up Maximo AI (Recommended)

Maximo Syntax CLI uses Maximo AI as the default provider. Get your API key from Maximo AI and set the following environment variables:

export CLAUDE_CODE_USE_OPENAI=1
export OPENAI_API_KEY=your-maximo-api-key
export OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.maximoai.co/v1
export OPENAI_MODEL=maximo-pandora-3.6-nano

Or create a .env file in your project directory:

CLAUDE_CODE_USE_OPENAI=1
OPENAI_API_KEY=your-maximo-api-key
OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.maximoai.co/v1
OPENAI_MODEL=maximo-pandora-3.6-nano

2. Run Maximo Syntax CLI
