AI accounts and CLI

To talk to AIMEDITOR you need an AI that can speak MCP on this Windows PC. Create the account first, then install the CLI in the terminal. AIMEDITOR purchase or Free is separate from AI token costs. Model usage is billed by the AI service you connect.

Before you start

  • AIMEDITOR supports Windows 10/11 only. These pages do not cover macOS or Linux.
  • Install CLIs in Windows Terminal or PowerShell.
  • Confirm the latest Windows install command on each vendor’s official docs before you run a script.
  • Many products need a paid plan. If a free tier was closed, follow that company’s current notice.
