apinetwork/piapi-mcp-server

Overview

A TypeScript Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects to the PiAPI service. It lets users generate media from tools like Midjourney, Flux, Kling, LumaLabs, Udio, Chirp, and Trellis directly from Claude or any MCP-compatible application. The server exposes PiAPI's capabilities through the standardized MCP interface.

Best for

Best for
Developers building MCP-compatible workflows who need to invoke multiple media generation APIs from a single interface

Use cases

• Generate images via Midjourney from Claude or other MCP hosts
• Create audio content using Udio or Chirp within MCP-compatible workflows
• Integrate Flux or LumaLabs media generation into custom MCP-based tools

How to use
