What data it sees

Do you need an account

An API key from the service settings is required

Generate AI images and videos from any MCP client, built by Frank Houbre, an AI expert based in France.

48 models share a single credit balance: Flux, Imagen 4, Seedream, Recraft and GPT Image for stills, Kling, Seedance, Veo 3.1 with audio, MiniMax, Wan and PixVerse for video. No account to open with each provider, no stack of subscriptions.

Four tools. list_models returns the catalogue with the credit cost of every model, so the agent knows the price before it spends anything. generate_image creates an image and waits, returning the URL directly. generate_video starts a video and returns a request_id. get_generation_status follows a generation to its final URL.

Cost is never a surprise. One credit is about $0.012, an image costs 1 to 7 credits and a video 26 to 60. A failed generation refunds its credits automatically.

Authentication. Pass your key as the apiKey parameter, full value including the prefix: Bearer imk_.... Create one at https://imaginode.ai/profile. New accounts get trial credits without a card.

The same models are also available on a node canvas at https://imaginode.ai, so a board an agent starts can be reopened and edited by hand.
