Claude Imagine

Independent, unofficial remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP, OAuth 2.1) for AI image and video generation from Claude Code, claude.ai, and Claude Desktop.

Documentation

Connect Claude Imagine to Claude with MCP

Connect once with OAuth, unlock 6 bonus credits, then ask Claude for an image or video in any conversation.
Works in Claude Code, claude.ai, and Claude Desktop using the same balance as the web generators.

Connect → unlock → create

Turn the bonus into your first Claude creation.

Connect once, receive the one-time credit reward, then copy a real task into Claude. No API key and no prompt handoff to a separate generator.

Your first real task

Copy a prompt. Paste it into Claude. Watch the connector work.

The 9-credit workflow deliberately uses the full free trial: 3 credits for Nano Banana 2, then 6 for a four-second Seedance Pro clip at 480p.

3 credits

Start small

Create your first image

Turn the context already in your Claude conversation into a polished website visual.

“Use Claude Imagine to create a 16:9 hero image based on the product or idea in this conversation. Use Nano Banana 2, keep the composition editorial, and leave clean space for a headline.”

The full demo

Go from idea to motion

Generate a key visual, then pass its returned public URL straight into the video tool.

“Use Claude Imagine to create a 16:9 cinematic key visual with Nano Banana 2 based on our conversation. Then use the returned public image URL to animate it into a 4-second 480p video with Seedance Pro. Preserve the subject and composition, and keep the total generation cost within 9 credits.”

Beyond a blank prompt box

Workflows that become natural inside Claude.

The same models are available on the web. MCP changes the workflow: Claude carries the conversation context, can inspect a codebase, checks live costs, and hands one tool's output to the next.

Commercial product visual made with Claude Imagine

Claude

Conversation → campaign visual

Claude already knows the audience, positioning, and approved idea. It can turn that shared context into the visual brief instead of making you rewrite it in another tool.

“Review our conversation, summarize the approved visual direction in three bullets, then use Claude Imagine and Nano Banana 2 to create a 16:9 campaign key visual with room for a headline.”

No context copy-paste

Launch graphic created for a Claude Imagine page

Claude Code

Repository → launch asset

Claude Code can inspect the page copy, theme variables, and asset folders before generating an OG image that belongs to the project it is already editing.

“Read the landing page copy and theme colors in this repository. Propose one OG-image concept, then use Claude Imagine to generate it at 16:9 and save the returned image under public/og/.”

Project-aware creative work

Fashion editorial still ready to animate into video

Image + video

Approved still → moving scene

The image tool returns a public URL. Claude can pass that exact result to the video tool in the same conversation, preserving your creative handoff.

“Use the public URL returned by the last Claude Imagine image and animate it into a 4-second 480p video with Seedance Pro. Preserve the subject, framing, and color palette; add only subtle camera movement.”

One conversation, two tools

Read-only planning

Brief → cost-aware model choice

Before anything is charged, Claude can inspect your live balance and model prices, recommend the right trade-off, and wait for approval.

“Call get_credits and list_models. Recommend the best-value model for a 9:16 launch visual, explain the credit cost and trade-off, and wait for my approval before generating anything.”
