ModelsLab MCP Server

ModelsLab runs a hosted, remote MCP server. There is nothing to install: point your MCP client at the URL below and sign in with OAuth, or send your ModelsLab API key.

Tools

Most generation is asynchronous. A tool returns "status": "processing" with an id; call fetch-generation with that id until the status is success or error. Use list-models first to get a valid model_id (Flux, Qwen Image, Seedream, Kling, Veo, Wan, Hailuo, ElevenLabs-class voices, open-source LLMs, and more).

Setup

Claude (claude.ai and Claude Desktop)

Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → URL https://modelslab.com/mcp/v7. Claude detects OAuth and opens the ModelsLab sign-in page.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http modelslab https://modelslab.com/mcp/v7

Or with an API key:

claude mcp add --transport http modelslab https://modelslab.com/mcp/v7 \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $MODELSLAB_API_KEY"

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "modelslab": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://modelslab.com/mcp/v7",
               "--header", "Authorization: Bearer ${MODELSLAB_API_KEY}"],
      "env": { "MODELSLAB_API_KEY": "YOUR_MODELSLAB_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Example prompts

• "List the ModelsLab video models, then make a 5 second clip of a paper boat in the rain with the best one."

• "Generate a product photo of a ceramic mug on a wooden table, 1024x1024."

• "Turn this paragraph into speech with a calm British voice."

• "Write a 30 second lo-fi track with soft piano."

Pricing

MCP calls bill the same as the REST API. Plans start at $21/month; the $149/month plan gives unlimited generations on open-source models. See modelslab.com/pricing.
