GlianaAI MCP server

Pay-per-call generative AI for any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, …). 90+ models — image, video, video editing, music, speech, LLM chat — plus utility and data tools, with no signup and no API key. Paid calls settle per call from your own wallet over MPP / x402.

Browse + price everything for free (list_models, get_price, get_schema, list_tools).
generate runs a model and settles the gateway's 402 from your wallet (USDC on Base). Your private key is read from the client config and never leaves your machine — non-custodial, same model as ai.glianalabs.com.

Tools

Tool	Paid?	Description
`list_models`	free	Every model: id, category, provider, per-call price.
`get_price`	free	Exact cost of one call (input affects it — video duration, TTS length).
`get_schema`	free	A model's input fields (required, defaults).
`generate`	paid	Run a model → media URL, or assistant text for chat models.
`list_tools`	free	Every utility tool: price, HTTP method, example input, guidance.
`tool`	mostly paid	Run one utility tool — scraping, screenshots, social cards, OCR, structured extraction, market data, chain RPC, reference data.
`recipe`	paid	Run a multi-model pipeline in one call (e.g. text→image→video).

list_tools reads the gateway live, so it is never out of date — which is why this table doesn't enumerate the utility tools. A written-down list goes stale the moment a new endpoint ships, and this one had.

Some utility tools are free and need no wallet at all (list_tools reports them at priceMicroUsd: 0) — currently the Indonesian reference endpoints: official region data, prayer times, and NIK verification.

File inputs

Models that take a source file (image-to-video, video-to-video, transcription) accept a public URL in their file field (e.g. image, video_uri). Have a local file? Upload it first — no key, no payment:

curl -X POST https://api.glianalabs.com/v1/media \
  -H "content-type: video/mp4" --data-binary @clip.mp4
# → { "url": "https://api.glianalabs.com/v1/media/<id>.mp4" }

Pass the returned url into the model field. Max 40 MB; video / image / audio only.

Install

Add to your MCP client config.

Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json) / Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gliana-ai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "gliana-ai-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "GLIANA_WALLET_KEY_FILE": "/absolute/path/to/gliana-wallet.key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Payment rails

generate settles the gateway's 402 from your wallet. Pick a rail and set its key:

Use a dedicated wallet, funded with only what you intend to spend. This server signs payments locally — the key never leaves your machine and is never sent to us — but it is still a private key on a machine running an AI agent. Do not use a wallet that holds anything you would miss.

Prefer *_KEY_FILE over the inline variable. Your MCP client config gets synced to cloud storage, committed by accident, and screenshotted when you ask someone for help. A file you chmod 600 does not:
printf '%s' '0xYOUR_KEY' > ~/.gliana-wallet.key && chmod 600 ~/.gliana-wallet.key
Inline still works if you prefer it — the server just warns on stderr.

Rail	Env var	Wallet needs
base (default)	`GLIANA_WALLET_KEY_FILE` or `GLIANA_WALLET_KEY` (0x EVM key)	USDC on Base — gasless EIP-3009 signature
tempo	same key as base	USDC on Tempo
solana	`GLIANA_SOLANA_KEY_FILE` or `GLIANA_SOLANA_KEY` (base58 or JSON-array secret key)	USDC on Solana

GLIANA_RAIL — base | tempo | solana. Optional; defaults to base (or solana if only a Solana key is set). The wallet must hold USDC on that chain.
GLIANA_API_URL — optional, defaults to https://api.glianalabs.com.

Keys are needed only for paid calls. The discovery tools — and the free utility tools list_tools reports at priceMicroUsd: 0 — work without any wallet.

Restart the client. Ask it to "list GlianaAI models" or "generate an image of a red fox with nano-banana-2".

Funding

Fund the wallet with a few dollars of USDC on your chosen chain (Base, Tempo, or Solana). You pay only the per-call price (see get_price); there's no subscription and no balance held by us.

Use a dedicated low-balance wallet for agents. Never paste your main wallet's key into any config.
