@runapi.ai/flux-2-mcp
OfficialThis server provides MCP-compatible AI agents with direct access to Flux 2 image generation via RunAPI, enabling task creation, status polling, and pricing queries.
Create remix image tasks (
remix_image): Generate images by remixing source images usingflux-2-flex-remix-imageorflux-2-pro-remix-image, with options for aspect ratio (1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16, 3:2, 2:3, auto), output resolution (1k/2k), and optional polling until completion.Create text-to-image tasks (
text_to_image): Generate images from text prompts usingflux-2-flex-text-to-imageorflux-2-pro-text-to-image, with the same aspect ratio/resolution options and optional polling.Poll task status (
get_task): Fetch the current status and latest result payload (including output URLs) for any previously created task by providing a task ID.Check pricing (
check_pricing): Look up current pricing for any Flux 2 model/endpoint combination — the only tool that works without an API key.
Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Roo Code, and any MCP-compatible host.

Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@@runapi.ai/flux-2-mcp create an image of a golden retriever playing in snow"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Why This Package?
@runapi.ai/flux-2-mcp is a focused Model Context Protocol server for the Flux 2 model line on RunAPI.
It gives MCP-compatible assistants direct access to 2 endpoints and 6 model variants without loading the full RunAPI catalog.
Use this per-model server when an agent should stay scoped to Flux 2. Use @runapi.ai/mcp when one assistant should discover every RunAPI model line.

Install
Add it to Claude Code:
claude mcp add flux-2 -s user -- npx -y @runapi.ai/flux-2-mcpUse project scope when the server should be shared with a repository:
claude mcp add flux-2 -s project -- npx -y @runapi.ai/flux-2-mcpCodex, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Roo Code, and other MCP hosts can use the same stdio command:
{
"mcpServers": {
"flux-2": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@runapi.ai/flux-2-mcp"]
}
}
}check_pricing works before sign-in. For task creation and status polling, ask your assistant to call the login tool. It opens a browser login and saves credentials to ~/.config/runapi/config.json, the same file used by runapi login.
Headless and CI hosts can still set RUNAPI_API_KEY before starting the MCP host.
Ready-made examples are in examples/ for Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and Roo Code.
Tools
Tool | Auth | Purpose |
| Yes | Create a Flux 2 remix image task and optionally wait for a terminal status. Returns the task id, status, and output URLs. |
| Yes | Create a Flux 2 text to image task and optionally wait for a terminal status. Returns the task id, status, and output URLs. |
| Yes | Fetch the current status and latest payload for an existing task. |
| No | Look up current pricing for a Flux 2 model and endpoint. |
Models
Flux 2 covers 6 model variants across 2 endpoints. Each tool accepts the models listed for it:

Model availability can change between releases. Use check_pricing or the Flux 2 model page for the current catalog view.
Agent Prompts
Ask your assistant in natural language; it can inspect pricing, create the task, and return the task id plus output URLs.
Create a task
Run a Flux 2 remix image task with RunAPI.The assistant can call check_pricing, then remix_image, and return the task id, status, and output URLs.
Submit without waiting
Create the task but don't wait for it to finish.The assistant calls the create tool with wait: false and returns the task id. Check on it later with get_task.
Check pricing before creating
Check current Flux 2 pricing, then create the task if it matches my request.The assistant calls check_pricing and can link to the Flux 2 model page for the canonical catalog entry.
Configuration
The server resolves auth in this order:
RUNAPI_API_KEYenvironment variable, useful for headless and CI hosts~/.config/runapi/config.json, created by the MCPlogintool orrunapi loginNo key, which still allows
check_pricing
The config file is normally managed by login. A pre-provisioned headless config can use:
{
"apiKey": "your_runapi_key"
}Do not commit real API keys.

TDQS
Scored across 5 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: login handles authentication, check_pricing fetches pricing, get_task polls status, and remix_image/text_to_image create different task types. No overlap exists between any tools.
Most tools follow a verb_noun snake_case pattern (get_task, check_pricing, remix_image, text_to_image), but 'login' breaks the pattern as a bare verb. Still predictable overall.
Five tools is well-scoped for a Flux 2 image generation client, covering auth, pricing, task creation, and status retrieval without redundancy. Each tool earns its place.
Core workflow (create task, poll status) is covered, plus auth and pricing. Missing task management operations like list/cancel/delete, but these are non-essential for basic usage.
