Tastepix MCP

What it is

Tastepix is a remote MCP server (Model Context Protocol). Connect it once to your AI app, then ask for images in plain language: "make a vintage travel poster for a seaside town", "remove the background", "upscale it 4×", "animate this". The assistant picks the model, the image appears inline in the chat with download, reference and edit actions, and everything you make lands in one gallery at tastepix.com.

• No API keys. Sign in with Google or email; Tastepix handles the providers.

• Many models, one account. Ask for a model by name or let the assistant choose.

• Works where you already work. Claude (web, desktop, mobile), ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex.

• Pay per image. Prepaid balance, no subscription, balance never expires, failed generations are refunded automatically. New accounts get a small free credit.

Server URL

https://mcp.tastepix.com/mcp

Transport: Streamable HTTP. Auth: OAuth 2.1 (the app opens a Tastepix sign-in page the first time).

Related MCP server: @vectosolve/mcp

Connect

Add to Claude — Claude opens with Tastepix filled in: click Continue, then Connect, then Allow on the Tastepix page. Manually: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste the server URL.

As a plugin, with the server and the Tastepix skill together:

/plugin marketplace add paablobello/tastepix-mcp
/plugin install tastepix@tastepix

Or the server alone:

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user tastepix https://mcp.tastepix.com/mcp

Then in Claude Code type /mcp, pick tastepix and sign in.

Cursor opens with Tastepix filled in: click Install, then Connect and Allow. Manually, in ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "tastepix": { "url": "https://mcp.tastepix.com/mcp" } } }

codex mcp add tastepix --url https://mcp.tastepix.com/mcp
codex mcp login tastepix

In the Codex app: Settings → MCP servers → Add server → Streamable HTTP, with the server URL. As a plugin with the skill: codex plugin marketplace add paablobello/tastepix-mcp, then install tastepix from /plugins.

gemini extensions install https://github.com/paablobello/tastepix-mcp

Installs the server with the Tastepix context and skill. The first Tastepix call opens the sign-in.

Add to VS Code — VS Code opens with Tastepix filled in: click Install, then sign in. From a terminal:

code --add-mcp '{"name":"tastepix","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.tastepix.com/mcp"}'

On chatgpt.com (in a browser): open chatgpt.com/plugins → Add → Create MCP App → name it Tastepix, paste the server URL, choose OAuth → Create, then Allow on the Tastepix page. In a new chat, type @Tastepix. It then shows up in the ChatGPT apps too.

Any client that supports remote MCP servers over Streamable HTTP with OAuth: add https://mcp.tastepix.com/mcp.

A short guide that helps agents use the Tastepix tools well (already included in the plugins and the Gemini extension):

FAQ

Do I need API keys from OpenAI, Google, etc.? No. One Tastepix account covers every model.

Can Claude generate images on its own? Claude doesn't generate images natively; Tastepix adds that through MCP, inline in the chat.

Is there a subscription? No. You add funds when you want and pay per image. New accounts get a small free credit to try it.

What happens if a generation fails? It's refunded to your balance automatically.

Where do my images go? They're shown in the chat and saved to your private gallery at tastepix.com, from every app you use. You can delete them, or your whole account, from the dashboard.
