Venice MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Venice AI. Gives AI assistants like Claude access to Venice's text generation, image creation, text-to-speech, embeddings, and account management APIs.

What It Does

This MCP server lets Claude (or any MCP-compatible assistant) use Venice AI's features directly:

• Chat with Llama, DeepSeek, Qwen, and other open models

• Generate images using Stable Diffusion, FLUX, and more

• Create speech from text with natural-sounding voices

• Generate embeddings for search and RAG applications

• Manage API keys and monitor rate limits

Quick Start

1. Get a Venice API Key

Sign up at venice.ai and create an API key in Settings → API.

2. Install

npm install -g venice-mcp

3. Configure Claude Desktop

Add to your config file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

• Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "venice": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "venice-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "VENICE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. You'll see Venice tools available in the 🔧 menu.
