ci License: MIT Node 22+ MCP compatible Claude Code ready No API key

MCP server that makes images and videos for your projects with the AI subscriptions you already pay for. No API keys. No second bill. Uses your own ChatGPT, Google AI Pro, Higgsfield and Grok accounts.

Features • Quick start • Connect accounts • Installation • Tools • CLI commands • Troubleshooting


Features

  • Images and videos from your own plans: GPT Image (ChatGPT via Codex), Nano Banana and Veo 3.1 (Google Flow), Gemini, Higgsfield (Seedance, Kling and more), Grok

  • No API keys at all: you sign in once, by hand, in a private Chrome window. API-key variables are stripped before any tool runs

  • Understands your project: reads its colours, fonts, 3D or animation libraries and existing images, then matches the style (luxury, premium, playful, corporate, modest)

  • Designer-grade prompts: three concept directions per asset with a critique checklist, so results aren't generic

  • Saves straight into your project: full quality, no Download folder, no Save dialog, never outside the project

  • Shrinks for the web without visible loss: WebP and H.264, checked with an SSIM quality score

  • Credit-safe: shows the cost first, hard max_credits cap, one job at a time

  • Add any site with a small JSON file, no code

Quick start

git clone https://github.com/farhan6667/no-api-media-mcp
cd no-api-media-mcp
npm install && npm run build
node dist/src/index.js setup

setup checks your machine, opens a Chrome window where you sign in to ChatGPT and Google, and prints the line to add to your AI client. Then ask your agent:

Use no-api-media to make a 16:9 hero image for this site with flow. Check the project's style first.

Connect your accounts

You sign in yourself, once. The server never asks for or sees a password.

Account

You need

How to connect

Ready when status shows

Google AI Pro / Ultra (Flow, Gemini)

A Google account with the plan

Sign in at the Google tab in the setup window

google signed in, PRO, j***@gmail.com

ChatGPT (images)

ChatGPT Plus or Pro

npm i -g @openai/codex then codex login, choose ChatGPT

Codex CLI ok, signed in with ChatGPT

Higgsfield

A Higgsfield plan

npm i -g @higgsfield/cli, higgsfield auth login, then higgsfield workspace set <id>

Higgsfield CLI ok, signed in

Grok or any JSON site

That site's plan

Ask your agent to run accounts_login with grok

grok signed in

Close the whole setup window when you're done. The server can't use the private profile while it is open.

Installation

Requirements: Node 22+, Google Chrome, and ffmpeg for shrinking files.

# all projects
claude mcp add --scope user no-api-media -- node /full/path/to/no-api-media-mcp/dist/src/index.js

Tools

Tool

What it does

accounts_login

Opens the private Chrome window so you sign in

accounts_status

Which accounts are ready, plan tier, low-credit warnings

providers_list

Every provider and JSON site, and what each can make

project_profile

design_brief

Art direction: concept directions with ready prompts and a critique checklist

image_generate

Makes images with codex, chatgpt, flow, gemini, higgsfield, grok or your own site

Notes

codex

images

Codex CLI, ChatGPT login

Most reliable ChatGPT route

chatgpt

images

chatgpt.com in the private profile

Cloudflare may ask for a human check; use codex then

flow

images, videos

Google, in the private profile

Nano Banana 2 images were 0 credits on AI Pro when tested; videos cost credits

gemini

images

Google, in the private profile

higgsfield

images, videos

official CLI (OAuth)

Exact cost shown before every job

grok

images, videos

grok.com in the private profile

Limits depend on your plan

Where files go

  • No output_path: <project>/.ai-media/<provider>/<date>-<prompt>.<ext>, ignored by git, with a manifest.jsonl of every prompt

  • With output_path (e.g. public/images/hero.png): must be inside the project and a media file, checked before anything is generated

CLI commands

Command

What it does

node dist/src/index.js setup

Check everything, open the sign-in window, print client config

node dist/src/index.js login google

Sign in to one service again (google, chatgpt, or chatgpt,google)

node dist/src/index.js status

Show which accounts are ready, without opening a window

node dist/src/index.js --version

Print the version

node dist/src/index.js help

List these commands

codex login status

Check the Codex CLI is signed in with ChatGPT

higgsfield workspace list

List Higgsfield workspaces to pick one

npm test

Run the test suite (unit and security tests)

Without a command, dist/src/index.js runs as the MCP server. That's what your AI client starts.

Troubleshooting

You see

Do this

profile is already open

The sign-in window (or another copy of the server) is still open. Close that Chrome window and try again

Not signed in. Run accounts_login

Run login google or login chatgpt and sign in in the window

chatgpt.com is asking for a human check

ChatGPT's Cloudflare noticed automation. The server never solves these. Use codex for ChatGPT images, or flow

Codex must be signed in with ChatGPT (not an API key)

Run codex login and choose Sign in with ChatGPT

Codex limit is used up

Your plan's Codex quota is spent. Use flow or wait for the reset

Pick a Higgsfield workspace once

higgsfield workspace list, then higgsfield workspace set <id>

That Google account is not signed in

Sign in with the account that has your AI plan, or set NOAPI_GOOGLE_EMAIL to it

Flow no longer offers "..." or a menu not found

Google changed the Flow page. Update to the latest version or open an issue

running low on Google Flow credits

Video credits are low. Images on Nano Banana 2 usually still work

Google Chrome not found

Install Chrome or set NOAPI_CHROME to its path

ffmpeg not found

winget install Gyan.FFmpeg (Windows), brew install ffmpeg (macOS), sudo apt install ffmpeg (Linux)

Refusing to write outside the allowed folders

Use a path inside the project, like public/images/hero.png

Nothing happens on a Linux server

Chrome needs a display. Run under Xvfb

Configuration

All optional.

Variable

Default

Meaning

NOAPI_HOME

~/.no-api-media

Private profile and state. Delete it to sign out of everything

NOAPI_OUTPUT_ROOTS

the folder the client starts the server in

Folders the server may write to

NOAPI_GOOGLE_EMAIL

first signed-in account

Which Google account to use

NOAPI_MIN_GAP

20

Seconds between two generations on one provider

NOAPI_CHROME, NOAPI_FFMPEG, NOAPI_CODEX_JS, NOAPI_HIGGSFIELD

auto-detected

Binary locations

Add another site without code

Put a file in ~/.no-api-media/providers/<id>.json. Start from examples/providers/template.json. Media is only downloaded from the hosts you list in mediaHosts, and specs are never read from a project folder.

Safety and terms

  • Your password never touches this code, there is no network port, and the server can't write outside your project. The full threat model is in SECURITY.md.

  • Web providers drive the consumer sites the way you would by hand. OpenAI's, Google's and xAI's terms restrict automated use of those sites, so using them is your call and your account's risk. The server works at human pace, stops at captchas and sign-in pages, and doesn't hide that it is automation. Official CLIs (Codex, Higgsfield) are the safer routes.

Contributing

Fixes for broken selectors and new site specs are the most useful help. See CONTRIBUTING.md.
