AI Gateway MCP

One click, and you are done.

Vercel copies this repo to your account, makes your private storage and asks for one secret. Your copy then walks you through the rest.

The provider's own price, right inside your chat. No markup, no subscription, no API key. Add this connector to Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP app and it can make pictures, video and voice with 400+ models on Vercel AI Gateway: Veo, Kling, Seedance, Nano Banana, GPT Image, FLUX and more. You run your own copy on your own Vercel account, so every call is paid from your own Gateway credits at the price the provider sets.

A real chat on claude.ai, October 2026: a picture for $0.007, then a five-second video for $0.09 (HeyGen Video 1). Waiting while models work is sped up. See the demo .

What you can make

Ask in plain words. Your chat does the thinking and the writing with everything it already knows about you; the connector makes the pictures, the video and the voice.

Shoot a short film "Write a one-minute sci-fi short, storyboard it, then film every scene with sound." Your chat writes the script and plans each shot. The connector draws the storyboard and films the scenes. generate_image start_video get_video

10 scenes with sound: $12.00 on Veo 3.1 Fast

Write and illustrate a book "Write a 12-chapter bedtime story about a fox who collects stars, and paint every chapter in watercolour." Your chat writes the story. The connector paints the cover and a picture for each chapter, in one style. generate_image edit_image

12 pictures: $1.61 on Nano Banana Pro

Turn it into an audiobook "Read chapter one aloud in a warm, slow voice, like a bedtime story." The connector narrates the text and hands back an audio file you can play right in the chat. generate_speech

A 2,000-word chapter: about $0.33 on TTS-1 HD

Shoot a product "Take this photo of my mug, put it on white marble in morning light, then make a slow turntable clip." The connector edits your own photo into new shots, then films a short clip from the best one. edit_image start_video get_video

4 shots and a 5-second clip: $0.66 on FLUX Kontext Pro and Veo 3.1 Fast

Make anyone dance "Make the character in this picture do the dance in this video." The connector copies the moves from a reference video onto your character, frame by frame. motion_control get_video

A 10-second dance: $1.26 on Kling 3.0 Motion Control

Run a month of posts "Plan 30 days of posts for my bakery, write the captions, and make a picture for each day." Your chat plans the month. The connector makes a picture for every day and vertical clips for the big ones. generate_image start_video get_video

30 pictures and 8 clips: $10.43 on Nano Banana Pro and Veo 3.1 Fast

Turn a recording into notes "Transcribe this meeting with timestamps, then give me the decisions and who owns what." The connector writes down every word; your chat turns it into notes, subtitles or a translation. transcribe

A 20-minute recording: $0.12 on Whisper

Pick the right model "Which video model is cheapest for an 8-second clip that still looks good?" The connector lists every model with its AI Gateway catalog price, so your chat can choose for you, or compare a few side by side. list_models check_credits

Free reading the catalog costs nothing

Costs are AI Gateway catalog prices from October 2026, for the example quantities shown. They are examples, not quotes: the provider's bill can differ from the catalog (see What it costs ), and each call reports what it actually cost. Ask list_models for today's catalog.

How it works

1. You ask in chat. Claude, ChatGPT or any app that speaks MCP picks the right tool.
2. Your own copy answers. It runs on your Vercel account and checks your secret link.
3. AI Gateway runs the model, billed to your own credits at the provider's price. No API key: your copy signs in with Vercel's own token.

What is MCP? The Model Context Protocol is how chat apps plug in outside tools. This project is one of those tools: once you add its link, your chat app can make things with any model on AI Gateway.

Get started

You need a Vercel account and a GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket account.

1. Deploy Click the button. Vercel copies the repo and makes your private storage. Your new page then makes your secret . Choose Set up with your agent : copy one prompt into Claude with the Vercel connector and it adds the secret's fingerprint (and storage, if missing) and redeploys. Or choose Set up manually and follow the steps.

1. Open your copy Go to https://<your-project>.vercel.app . It checks itself, builds your link and tests it.

1. Add it to your chat In Claude: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, paste the link. ChatGPT and others take it as a custom MCP server.

Then set a spend budget in the Vercel dashboard (AI Gateway → Budgets). It is the real limit on what your link can ever spend.

Your copy comes with its own setup page

Open your copy and it shows where you are: an arch of six stones, one per step. Set stones glow, the next one breathes, and clicking a stone opens its step.

One step at a time. Done steps fold away and the next one opens with exactly what to do.

Your link, tested. In the browser that made your secret it's checked by itself; anywhere else, paste it once and test it. Open on your phone shows a QR code that opens your page on your phone with the secret already saved. Claude on your phone needs none of this: connectors added on claude.ai show up there by themselves.

A secret that never leaves your browser. Made and saved there the moment you reach the step, with your link ready to copy. Vercel only gets its fingerprint ( MCP_SECRET_SHA256 ), which can't open your connector: add it, redeploy once (it covers the storage too), and the page checks your link by itself. Or press Copy setup prompt and paste it into Claude with the Vercel connector: it adds the fingerprint and redeploys for you.

Into your chat app. Steps for Claude, ChatGPT and any other MCP app, and a test prompt to try it.

Once every step is done, the guide steps aside for good. From then on your page opens on the brand and goes straight to your usage. If anything comes undone later (say MCP_SECRET_SHA256 is removed), the guide comes back by itself.
