What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 14, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • generate_image

    Use this to create or edit an AI image. Text-to-image from a prompt, OR image-to-image / editing / multi-reference by passing input_images (URLs, data URIs, or base64) — e.g. edit or restyle an image the user just generated by passing its URL. Input support is per-model: some tak

  • generate_video

    Use this to create or edit an AI video. Text-to-video from a prompt; image-to-video by passing image (start frame, + optional end_image); reference-to-video by passing reference_images; or video-to-video editing by passing video (an input video URL — upload local files with uploa

  • finalize_video_draft

    Use this when the user likes a finished seedance-2.5 DRAFT (480p) and wants it in 1080p: it renders the same video (same motion, framing and sound, sharper) as a new 1080p job. Takes only the draft's job_id; everything else comes from the draft. IMPORTANT — cost: 750 credits per

  • generate_music

    Use this to create an AI music track (full songs with vocals, or instrumentals). Models: music-3.0 (default, 200 credits — songs from a prompt and/or lyrics, lyrics optimizer on by default so a prompt alone works), eleven-music-v2.5 (ElevenLabs' newest — songs with vocals in many

  • generate_sound_effect

    Use this to create sound effects (NOT music). TEXT mode: describe the sound — Foley, ambience, UI sounds, whooshes/transitions, impacts, action sounds — with sonilo-sfx: 1–180 seconds, mp3 or wav, PRICED PER SECOND of the requested duration (5 credits/s, 3-second minimum → 5 s =

  • generate_3d_model

    Turn one picture into a textured 3D model (image-to-3D). Always returns a GLB; meshy-7.1 also offers FBX, USDZ (iPhone AR) and STL (3D printing). Pick the model by job: tripo-h3.1 (default) is the most faithful reconstruction — including cartoons and stylized art — with PBR mater

  • upscale_image

    Use this to upscale an image to a higher resolution. Default model p-image-upscale (Pruna AI) returns results in seconds and is priced by the target resolution: 4 MP = 10, 8 MP = 15, 16 MP = 30, 32 MP = 60 credits. Alternative clarity-upscaler does creative detail enhancement (st

  • upscale_video

    Use this to upscale a video, with one of two models. Topaz (model topazlabs-video-upscale, the default): 1080p or 4K at 30 or 60 fps, priced per second of the INPUT video: 1080p = 15 (30fps) / 30 (60fps) credits/s, 4K = 60 / 120 credits/s, so a 10s clip to 1080p30 costs 150 credi

  • generate_depth_map

    Use this to turn a video into a depth map video (Video Depth Anything, on BudgetPixel's own GPUs): a steady, flicker-free video where near is white and far is black, at the input's size (up to 1080p) and frame rate (up to 30 fps). Use it as a depth / structure / motion reference

  • check_generation_status

    Use this after calling generate_image, generate_video, generate_music, generate_sound_effect, generate_3d_model, or generate_depth_map to poll for results. Pass a job_id to check a specific job — numeric = image, uuid = video, and for MUSIC / SOUND-EFFECT / 3D-MODEL / DEPTH-MAP j

  • get_credit_balance

    Use this when the user asks about their remaining credits, subscription plan, or usage. Returns monthly credit balance, extra credits, total available, and plan name.

  • list_models

    List the AI image, video, music, sound-effect, and 3D models available on BudgetPixel, plus the depth-map tool's sizes, with standard credit prices and capabilities. Featured models come first with a one-line role hint (when to pick each). Image models that charge by output size

  • search_stock_images

    Use this when the user needs an existing stock photo, illustration, background, wallpaper or texture — for a website, slide, blog post, app, video or design — rather than a newly generated image. Searches BudgetPixel's stock image library: AI-generated images, each reviewed befor

  • search_stock_audio

    Use this when the user needs an existing sound effect or a piece of background music — for a video, podcast, stream, game, app or presentation — rather than a newly generated one. Searches BudgetPixel's free audio library, licensed CC BY 4.0 for commercial use, every item listene

  • get_generation_history

    Get the user's recent generations made through this connector or the developer API — images by default, or pass type "video", "music", or "sound_effect". Outputs are kept for about 24 hours (they are never saved to the user's asset storage unless save_to_assets is called), so row

  • save_to_assets

    Keep a generation permanently. Outputs made through this connector expire about 24 hours after generation and are NOT stored in the user's BudgetPixel assets by default. Call this when the user wants to keep, reuse later, or find a result in their gallery / workshops — it copies

  • upload_media

    Upload a local image, video, or audio file to BudgetPixel and get back a short-lived URL (valid ~24h) to use as a generation input: pass it as an input_images value on generate_image, or as image / end_image / reference_images / video / audio on generate_video. Use this when the

  • create_social_post

    Publish a post to the user's PUBLIC BudgetPixel community feed — visible to everyone and labeled "via MCP". ONLY use this when the user EXPLICITLY asks to post/share/publish; never post proactively. Costs 10 credits per post (anti-spam, charged on publish — same as the developer

  • list_my_themes

    List the live clan themes the user can post to — themes of the clans they own, moderate, or have joined (each with the user's role, the theme's brief, and when entries close). Use it when the user wants to post into a theme / enter a theme / share to their clan, then pass the cho

  • list_characters

    Use this to see the characters the user can cast in images and videos: the free BudgetPixel AI influencers (memorable personas with a consistent face, like @barry, @rosa or @fifi, free for every user) plus the user's own and collected characters. To cast one, write its @handle in

  • get_character

    Use this to learn one character before casting it or using it elsewhere: its look word for word, personality, speaking style, backstory, directing notes, signature details and consistency rules, every picture with a download link (full size for the BudgetPixel influencers and the

  • recommend_influencers

    Use this when the user wants an AI influencer or a character for a product, brand, campaign, ad or post and hasn't picked one. Pass the brief (what it is, for whom, where it will be posted) and get the BudgetPixel AI influencers who fit it best, each with why, a content idea and

  • search_wardrobe

    Use this to find clothes to put on a character: the user's own wardrobe items, the ones they saved and the free BudgetPixel library (dresses, suits, sportswear, costumes ...). To dress a character, write both @handles in the prompt of generate_image or generate_video, e.g. "@barr

  • get_wardrobe_item

    Use this to read one wardrobe item before using it: its description word for word (the text a mention sends with the picture), colours, tags, a download link to its picture and how to use it. Pass the id that add_wardrobe_item returned to see whether a new outfit is ready yet (an

  • add_wardrobe_item

    Use this to add clothes to the user's wardrobe so a character can wear them. Give a picture (image_url: any picture's own address, a shop's product page, or a URL from upload_media; or image_base64) or a description. A product page is read for its product picture, but many shops

  • search_poses

    Use this to put a character in a specific body pose (sitting with one knee up, hand on hip, a yoga stance, mid-jump ...). It searches the shared BudgetPixel pose library: every pose is drawn on two faceless grey mannequins, a woman and a man, and every pose is one a real body can

  • get_pose

    Use this to read one pose before using it: its description word for word (the text a mention sends with the mannequin picture), shelf, difficulty, what carries the body, props, and every mannequin picture by figure (woman, man) and place on the Camera Angles globe: the pose's own

  • design_pose

    Use this when the user wants a body pose the library doesn't have (try search_poses first). Describe the pose in words, head to toe (up to 600 characters), or pass based_on with a library pose's handle and say what to change ("the left arm raised higher"). If library poses alread

  • check_pose_design

    Use this after design_pose to follow the design: pass its design_id every 20-30 seconds until the status is done, refused or failed (a design takes about 3-6 minutes). Done: the new pose's @handle, description and pictures; write "@ in @ " in generate_image or generate_video. Ref

  • make_pose_view

    Use this when a pose lacks the camera angle the user wants (get_pose lists the views a pose has). It makes a view of one of the pose's mannequins from another place on the Camera Angles globe: the mannequin's front picture is turned there, a check confirms it is the same pose and

  • check_pose_view

    Use this after make_pose_view to follow the view: pass its job_id every 10-15 seconds until the status is done, missed or failed (a view usually takes 30-90 seconds). Done: the view's picture, now in the shared library for everyone, and the mention that asks for it; write "@ in @

Common questions

Is Budgetpixel MCP safe?

It passed 4 of 4 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 3 months ago, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 3 months 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 on the web (full MCP on Business and above; Pro read-only).

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Figma Context MCP, AutoClip, Next AI Draw.io

BudgetPixel MCP Server

Generate AI images, video, music, and sound effects — and upscale them — from any MCP-compatible client.

BudgetPixel is a remote MCP server. There is nothing to install and no API keys to manage: connect once, sign in with Google, and your BudgetPixel plan credits and discounts apply automatically.

Endpoint: https://mcp.budgetpixel.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP, OAuth)

Setup

Claude Code

claude mcp add budgetpixel --transport http https://mcp.budgetpixel.com/mcp

Cursor, Windsurf, and other config-file clients

{

"mcpServers": { "budgetpixel": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.budgetpixel.com/mcp" } } }

Claude, ChatGPT, and other connector UIs — add a custom connector pointing at https://mcp.budgetpixel.com/mcp.

Step-by-step guides for each client: budgetpixel.com/mcp

Tools

ToolWhat it does
generate_imageText-to-image, editing, image-to-image, and multi-reference generation
generate_videoText-to-video, image-to-video (start plus optional end frame), reference-to-video, and video-to-video editing
generate_musicFull songs from a prompt and/or your own lyrics, or instrumentals
generate_sound_effectFoley, ambience, UI sounds, impacts, and transitions — optionally synced to a video's events
upscale_imageHigher resolution in seconds, or creative detail enhancement steered by a prompt
upscale_video1080p or 4K at 30 or 60 fps via Topaz Labs, inputs up to 20 seconds
list_modelsThe live model catalog with prices, role hints, and per-model input limits
upload_mediaUpload a local file and get a URL to use as a generation input
check_generation_statusPoll a running job and collect the finished media
get_generation_historyYour recent generations, reusable as inputs
get_credit_balanceRemaining plan credits
create_social_postPublish a finished generation to the BudgetPixel community feed

How jobs work

Generation tools return a job id rather than the finished media.

ToolJob idPoll withTypical wait
generate_imagenumericcheck_generation_statusseconds
generate_videouuidcheck_generation_statusminutes
generate_musicnumericcheck_generation_status with type: "music"a few minutes
generate_sound_effectnumericcheck_generation_status with type: "sound_effect"~15s text, minutes for video
upscale_image—returns the result directlyseconds
upscale_videonumericcall upscale_video again with just job_idminutes

Music and sound-effect ids are numeric like image ids, so the type argument is required for those two — without it the id is read as an image job.

Local files must go through upload_media first: video and audio inputs on generate_video accept URLs only.

Requirements

A BudgetPixel account. Browsing the model catalog is free; generation, upscaling, uploads, and publishing require any paid plan (Starter, Basic, Premium, Pro or Ultra) — see budgetpixel.com/pricing.

Video is billed per second and by resolution, so confirm cost before long or high-resolution jobs. Failed generations are never charged.
