Clipia MCP

Generate AI images & video inside Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT — 50+ models in one MCP endpoint.

npm clipia-ai PyPI clipia License: MIT MCP

Clipia is an AI image & video generation platform. This is its hosted, remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server: a single endpoint that lets any MCP-capable AI agent generate images and video, poll results, browse models, search prompt templates and read your credit balance — no SDK and no code required.

Endpoint: https://mcp.clipia.ai/mcp — stateless Streamable HTTP, authenticated with a Clipia API key.


Quick start

Connect Clipia to Claude Code in one command (replace the placeholder with your key):

claude mcp add --transport http clipia https://mcp.clipia.ai/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer <CLIPIA_API_KEY>"

Then just ask in the chat: "Generate a neon city image with Clipia" — the preview lands right in the terminal.

Where to get a key: create one at clipia.ai/settings → the API keys tab. The key is shown once.

Sandbox without charges: keys with the clipia_test_ prefix run in a sandbox — instant mock results, no credits spent. Use a clipia_test_* key to validate your integration before going live.


Connect from any client

The endpoint is the same everywhere: https://mcp.clipia.ai/mcp. IDEs and CLIs authenticate with an API key from settings; claude.ai and ChatGPT connect by signing in to your Clipia account over OAuth (no key needed).

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http clipia https://mcp.clipia.ai/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer <CLIPIA_API_KEY>"

Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop bridges to remote HTTP servers through mcp-remote. Add to claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config), then restart Claude Desktop:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clipia": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.clipia.ai/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization: Bearer <CLIPIA_API_KEY>"
      ]
    }
  }
}

claude.ai (web / desktop / mobile)

  1. Open Settings → Connectors.
  2. Click Add custom connector and paste the URL: https://mcp.clipia.ai/mcp
  3. Click Connect and sign in to your Clipia account — no key needed (OAuth).
  4. In a new chat, ask for an image or a video: a live Clipia card with progress and the result appears inside the message.

Credits are charged to the connected Clipia account.

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json (project), then restart Cursor:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clipia": {
      "url": "https://mcp.clipia.ai/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <CLIPIA_API_KEY>" }
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace (or use the MCP: Add Server command). VS Code prompts for the key on first run and stores it securely:

{
  "servers": {
    "clipia": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.clipia.ai/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${input:clipia_api_key}" }
    }
  },
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "clipia_api_key",
      "description": "Clipia API Key",
      "password": true
    }
  ]
}

Cline

Cline reads mcpServers from its cline_mcp_settings.json (MCP Servers → Configure MCP Servers in the Cline panel):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clipia": {
      "url": "https://mcp.clipia.ai/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <CLIPIA_API_KEY>" }
    }
  }
}

Cline can also install this server itself — see llms-install.md.

Windsurf

Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json (note the Windsurf-specific serverUrl field), then refresh Cascade → MCPs:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clipia": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.clipia.ai/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <CLIPIA_API_KEY>" }
    }
  }
}

Codex CLI

Add a block to ~/.codex/config.toml and export the key into your environment — Codex injects Authorization: Bearer from the variable automatically:

# ~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.clipia]
url = "https://mcp.clipia.ai/mcp"
bearer_token_env_var = "CLIPIA_API_KEY"

# in your environment:
# export CLIPIA_API_KEY=<CLIPIA_API_KEY>

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add --transport http clipia https://mcp.clipia.ai/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer <CLIPIA_API_KEY>"

Verify the connection with gemini mcp list.

ChatGPT (Developer Mode)

  1. In ChatGPT (web): Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced settings → enable Developer mode (Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise).
  2. Back in Apps & Connectors → Create. Name it Clipia, MCP Server URL: https://mcp.clipia.ai/mcp.
  3. Authentication — OAuth, tick "I trust this application", click Create.
  4. Sign in to your Clipia account in the popup. In a chat press + → More → Clipia, then ask in plain text.

Supported auth header schemes: Authorization: Bearer clipia_* (recommended), Authorization: Key <key>, or X-Api-Key: <key>.


Tools

The server exposes 8 tools to the agent (plus one app-only helper). Compact schemas keep the agent's context window light.

ToolWhat it does
generate_imageGenerate image(s) from a text prompt, optionally with reference images (editing / image-to-image). Waits briefly and usually returns the finished image inline (URL + small preview). Cost in credits is returned.
generate_videoStart a video generation from a text prompt (text-to-video) or from a start image (image-to-video, pass image_url). Returns request_id and cost in credits immediately — renders take 1–10 min, poll with wait_generation.
wait_generationWait for a generation to finish (long-poll up to wait_seconds, then returns current status). Call repeatedly until COMPLETED, FAILED or CANCELED. Returns output URLs (and an inline preview) when done.
get_generationGet the current status/result of a generation without waiting. When COMPLETED, output.images[].url is the inline webp preview and output.images[].original_url is the full-quality PNG/JPG.
list_modelsList available AI models with type (image/video/audio), capabilities and base price in credits. Filter by type / search.
get_modelGet model details: supported input parameters (input_schema) and base price in credits.
get_balanceGet the credit balance of the connected Clipia account and 30-day usage of the current API key.
search_templatesSearch 3500+ curated prompt templates (hybrid text+semantic search, Russian or English query). Each result has a ready-to-use prompt and a recommended model.
app_get_generationInternal / app-only: status poll used by the Clipia generation viewer card (MCP Apps). Hidden from the model; prefer get_generation.

Default models (used when no slug is passed): nano-banana-2 for images, seedance-2-fast-t2v / seedance-2-fast-i2v for video. Override with a model slug from list_models.


Why Clipia

  • Pay from Russia & CIS — Russian bank cards, SBP, MIR, no VPN required. Western processors reject these; Clipia is built for this market (and works internationally too).
  • 50+ flagship models, one endpoint — Western and Chinese models side by side: Veo 3.1, Sora, Kling 3, Seedance 2, Hailuo, Wan 2.7, Nano Banana, FLUX, Midjourney V7, Imagen 4, and more. No juggling multiple foreign subscriptions.
  • Sandbox without chargesclipia_test_* keys return instant mock results with no credit spend, perfect for wiring up an integration or CI.
  • Live preview in the chat (MCP Apps) — on claude.ai (web/desktop/mobile) every generation renders an interactive card with live progress, the finished media and an "Original" button. In Claude Code the preview lands inline in the terminal for vision-based iteration.
  • 3500+ prompt templatessearch_templates gives the agent curated, ready-to-use prompts (hybrid search, RU/EN), each with a recommended model.
  • Cost in every response — every generation returns its exact cost in credits, and get_balance shows the remaining balance. No hidden MCP markup.
  • Compact tool surface — 8 tools with tight schemas keep the agent's context window light (versus 30+ tools that can eat ~12K tokens elsewhere).

SDK

Prefer calling Clipia from your own code instead of an agent? Use the official SDKs against the same public API (fal.ai-style submit → status → result queue, credits-based billing):

  • TypeScript / Node: clipia-ainpm install clipia-ai (also ships a clipia CLI).
  • Python: clipiapip install clipia (sync + async clients).

Both support webhooks with HMAC-SHA256 signature verification and the same clipia_test_* sandbox keys.


Pricing

Billing is in credits from your connected Clipia account — the same balance as the website. Every generation returns its exact credit cost, and get_balance shows what's left. Different models cost different credits depending on resolution, duration and quality.

New accounts receive a small pack of welcome credits to evaluate the platform; after that a subscription is required. Four monthly plans (Basic / Standard / Pro / Ultima) — see clipia.ai/tariffs.

clipia_test_* sandbox keys return mock results with no credit charge — use them to develop and test without spending.


🇷🇺 Для России и СНГ

Clipia — российская платформа AI-генерации изображений и видео. Главное отличие от западных сервисов: оплата картой РФ, СБП и МИР, без VPN. 50+ топовых западных и китайских моделей (Veo 3.1, Sora, Kling 3, Seedance 2, Nano Banana, FLUX, Midjourney V7) в одном MCP-эндпоинте, прямо из Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT.
