Common questions

Is ModelRunner safe?

It passed 5 of 5 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 2 months ago, and the latest version (1.5.0) reached the registry 6 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT Business and above.

What can I use instead?

ModelRunner MCP Server

Official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for ModelRunner — run 100+ AI models across image, video, audio, and 3D generation from Claude, Cursor, and any MCP client.

Endpoint: https://mcp.modelrunner.run/mcp (remote server, Streamable HTTP)
Auth: OAuth 2.1 — your browser authorizes once; no API key is pasted into config
Registry name: ai.modelrunner/mcp
Setup guide & full tool reference: modelrunner.ai/mcp

Unlike single-vendor MCP servers, one connection exposes the entire ModelRunner catalog — models from multiple AI providers behind one endpoint and one pay-per-use billing account. Your assistant can search the catalog, inspect a model's input schema, run inference, and get results back as hosted URLs directly in the conversation.

Quick start

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http modelrunner https://mcp.modelrunner.run/mcp

Cursor / VS Code (native remote URL)

"mcpServers": { "modelrunner": { "url": "https://mcp.modelrunner.run/mcp" } } }

Claude Desktop or any stdio-only client (via mcp-remote)

"mcpServers": { "modelrunner": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.modelrunner.run/mcp"] } } }

On first use your AI assistant opens a browser window to sign in to ModelRunner — that's the whole setup.

Tools

Group	Tools
Discover & inspect	`search`, `list_models`, `list_wrappers`, `recommended_models`, `recommended_wrappers`, `get_model`, `get_wrapper`, `get_model_raw_schema`, `get_wrapper_raw_schema`, `get_wrapper_prompt_template`, `get_wrapper_field_mappings`
Run & fetch	`run_model`, `wait_for_request`, `get_request`, `list_my_requests`
Upload files	`create_upload_url`, `upload_file`
Author wrappers	`wrapper_authoring_guide`, `create_wrapper`, `patch_wrapper`, `preview_wrapper`, `list_my_wrappers`, `delete_wrapper`

"Wrappers" are reusable, simplified interfaces you can build over base models — a few friendly inputs, a prompt template, and baked-in settings — and they run through the same run_model-style tools.

Models & capabilities

The catalog covers text-to-image, image-to-image, text-to-video, image-to-video, video-to-video, music generation, speech-to-text, and image-to-3D, including models like Kling, HiDream, Hunyuan Image, Stable Audio, and Rodin. Browse by capability:

Full catalog: modelrunner.ai/models

Pricing

Free to connect. Model runs are pay-per-use from prepaid credits — no subscription. Every model's exact price (per image, per second of video, per megapixel, …) is shown on its model page and on the pricing page.

About this repository

This repository documents the hosted ModelRunner MCP server. The server itself is first-party, run by ModelRunner as a remote MCP endpoint — there is nothing to install or self-host; the configs above are the entire integration.
