Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Generate AI images and videos from 89 models on one credit balance, refunds on failure.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Other
  • You need to fill in: Authorization

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • You fill in yourself: Authorization

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http imaginode https://imaginode.ai/api/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "imaginode": {
      "url": "https://imaginode.ai/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "imaginode": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://imaginode.ai/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • Authorization secret required HTTP header
    Bearer imk_… API key, created in your profile at https://imaginode.ai/profile (verified account required, trial credits included).

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Imaginode safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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?

You need to fill in: Authorization

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 –, and the latest version (1.0.2) reached the registry 2 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 in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Imaginode MCP Server

Generate AI images and videos from ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client, powered by imaginode.ai, the node-canvas AI creation studio.

  • 89 models on one account: Flux 2, Nano Banana 2, Seedream 5, GPT Image, Kling V3, Seedance 2.5, Veo 3.1, Hailuo, Wan and more. The full catalogue, with a page per model, is at imaginode.ai/models.
  • Sign in, no key to paste: the server speaks OAuth 2.1. ChatGPT, Claude and Claude Code open an Imaginode page, you sign in, you allow the app. API keys still work for scripts and clients without OAuth.
  • Templates included: the curated workflows of the Imaginode canvas (product shoots, renovations, video effects, kids books, thumbnails…) are exposed as recipes, with the link that opens them ready to run.
  • Transparent pricing: every generation returns its exact cost in credits (1 credit = $0.012, or €0.01 when billed in euros) before the result. Failed generations are refunded automatically. Price a run before you make it with the cost calculator, which needs no account.
  • Remote server, nothing to install: https://imaginode.ai/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP).

What it costs before you call it

The API returns the exact cost of every generation, but you often want the number before writing the call. Two public pages answer that without an account:

  • Cost calculator: pick a model, a duration and a resolution, read the price in credits and in dollars.
  • GET /api/models: the same catalogue and prices as machine-readable JSON, no auth, so a client can build its own estimate.

Quickstart

  1. Create a free account at imaginode.ai (trial credits included, verified email required).
  2. Connect your client. Full walkthrough per assistant: imaginode.ai/mcp.

ChatGPT: Settings, Apps and connectors, Create: paste https://imaginode.ai/api/mcp, choose OAuth, sign in to your Imaginode account.

Claude.ai / Claude Desktop: Settings, Connectors, Add custom connector: paste https://imaginode.ai/api/mcp and sign in when Claude asks.

Claude Code (the sign-in opens in your browser on first use):

claude mcp add --transport http imaginode https://imaginode.ai/api/mcp

Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json, OAuth):

{

"mcpServers": { "imaginode": { "url": "https://imaginode.ai/api/mcp" } } }

With an API key instead (scripts, clients without OAuth): create a key in your profile, section API keys, and send it as a header:

claude mcp add --transport http imaginode https://imaginode.ai/api/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer imk_YOUR_KEY"

Then just ask your assistant: *"Generate a cinematic image of a red fox in a misty forest"*, *"Make a 5-second video of ocean waves at sunset"*, or *"Which Imaginode template turns my selfie into a collectible figurine?"*.

Tools

ToolWhat it does
list_modelsCatalogue of image and video models with prices in credits and billable options.
list_templatesThe curated canvas templates: what each produces, its models, the approximate cost of one run.
get_templateFull recipe of a template (nodes, models, prompts, wiring, example renders) and the link that opens it in the canvas.
generate_imageGenerates an image and waits for the result: the URL is returned directly. Default model: Nano Banana 2.
generate_videoStarts a video generation and returns a request_id plus the exact cost. Default model: Seedance 2.0.
get_generation_statusFollows a generation (running, completed with output URLs, or failed with automatic refund).

Videos typically take 1 to 5 minutes (up to 30 for long jobs): poll get_generation_status every 30 seconds.

OAuth details (for client authors)

  • Discovery: https://imaginode.ai/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server and https://imaginode.ai/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource.
  • Authorization code with PKCE (S256) and refresh tokens (rotated). Dynamic client registration (RFC 7591) and Client ID Metadata Documents are both supported; redirect URIs may be https, loopback http, or a private app scheme.
  • Scope: generate. An unauthenticated request gets a 401 with WWW-Authenticate: Bearer resource_metadata="…".
  • Connected apps can be revoked by the user from their profile, and by the client through the revocation endpoint (RFC 7009).

Direct REST API

The MCP server is a thin facade over three public endpoints you can also call from any script (API key or OAuth access token in the Authorization header):

  • GET https://imaginode.ai/api/models : model catalogue and prices, no auth.
  • POST https://imaginode.ai/api/generate : body { "model", "prompt", "duration", "resolution", "aspectRatio", "audio", "imageUrls" }, header Authorization: Bearer imk_…. Returns { requestId, cost, balance }.
  • GET https://imaginode.ai/api/generate/status?requestId=… : returns running, completed (with outputUrls) or failed (refunded).

Input images must be media hosted on your Imaginode account (media library or previous generations).

Full documentation: imaginode.ai/docs/api-mcp.

Limits and security

  • API keys are personal secrets: shown once, revocable instantly from your profile, 5 active keys max.
  • Each key, and each OAuth access token, is rate-limited to 10 generations per minute.
  • OAuth access tokens live one hour and are refreshed silently; a connected app can be disconnected at any time from the profile, in Connected apps.
  • Every call spends the credits of your own account, at the same prices as the canvas; you can never spend beyond your balance, and failures are refunded.

Claude skill

The skills/imaginode folder contains an optional Claude Code skill that teaches Claude how to use this server well (cheap-model-first iteration, cost awareness, polling cadence). Install it by copying the folder to ~/.claude/skills/imaginode.
