ModelRunner MCP Server

Name: ModelRunner
Author: modelrunner

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.

Maintaining an open-source project? ModelRunner gives active open-source projects free monthly API credits — apply at modelrunner.ai/oss-program.

json

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

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

json

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

"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:

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.
