Claude Desktop / Other clients

Add to your MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "muapi": {
      "url": "https://api.muapi.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MUAPI_KEY"
      }
    }
  }

Self-Hosted Setup

If you want to run your own MCP server instance:

1. Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/SamurAIGPT/muapi-mcp-server.git
cd muapi-mcp-server

2. Install dependencies

pip install fastapi uvicorn requests pydantic

3. Set your API key

export MUAPIAPP_API_KEY=your_muapi_key_here

4. Start the server

python mcp_server.py

The server starts at http://localhost:8000.

5. Configure your client

Point your MCP client to your local server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "muapi": {
      "url": "http://localhost:8000",
      "headers": {
        "x-api-key": "YOUR_MUAPI_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Environment Variables

Available Tools

Once connected, your AI assistant has access to these tools:

Discovery

Image Generation

Video Generation

Audio

Image Enhancement

Video Editing

Async Polling

Account & Keys

Usage Examples

Once your MCP client is connected, you can ask your AI assistant naturally:

Generate an image:

"Generate a photorealistic mountain lake at golden hour using flux-dev"

Edit an image:

"Convert this image to Studio Ghibli style" (attaches image URL)

Create a video:

"Make a 5-second cinematic video of a robot walking through a forest using kling-master"

Animate an image:

"Turn this product photo into a 5-second video" (attaches image URL)

Create music:

"Create a 30-second lo-fi hip hop track, instrumental"

Check balance:

"What's my muapi credit balance?"

Find models:

"What image generation models are available on muapi?"

How Async Generation Works

Most generation tools return a request_id immediately:

{ "request_id": "abc123", "status": "processing" }

Your assistant will automatically poll muapi_predict_result until the job completes:

{
  "request_id": "abc123",
  "status": "completed",
  "outputs": ["https://cdn.muapi.ai/..."]
}
