Here is a really simple example of how to use the API

#include <OpenMfx/Sdk/Cpp/Plugin/MfxEffect>
#include <OpenMfx/Sdk/Cpp/Plugin/MfxRegister>

class MyEffect : public MfxEffect {
protected:
        OfxStatus Describe(OfxMeshEffectHandle descriptor) override {
                AddInput(kOfxMeshMainInput);
                AddInput(kOfxMeshMainOutput);

                AddParam("axis", 1)
                .Label("Axis")
                .Range(0, 2);

                AddParam("translation", { 0.0, 0.0 })
                .Label("Translation");

                return kOfxStatOK;
        }

        OfxStatus Cook(OfxMeshEffectHandle instance) override {
                // ...
        }
};

MfxRegister(
        MyEffect
);
