WaveSpeed MCP Server
<!-- mcp-name: ai.wavespeed/mcp -->
An MCP server for the WaveSpeed platform: run any model on the live catalog — image, video, audio, 3D — from Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, or any MCP client.
Built on the same design as the open-source @wavespeed/cli:
- No hardcoded models. The catalog comes from the live API (1h cache); new platform models work the day they ship.
- One generation verb. runmodel executes anything; getmodel_schema tells the agent what inputs a model actually accepts, so it reads before it writes.
- Inputs are never mutated. The one explicit transform is the @path marker — a "@./photo.jpg" value inside input uploads the file and substitutes its hosted URL. Bare paths are passed through untouched.
- Honest pricing. getprice quotes before you spend and names the inputs the quote was blind to (unpricedinputs) instead of presenting a formula's floor as "the" price.
Tools
If runmodel hits its wait limit the task keeps running server-side — the error names the prediction id, and getprediction picks it up.
Setup
Auth resolves from WAVESPEEDAPIKEY, or from the CLI's stored login (wavespeed login) — one login covers both tools. Keys: wavespeed.ai/accesskey.
Claude Code
claude mcp add wavespeed -- npx -y @wavespeed/mcpClaude Desktop / other clients (mcpServers config):
{
"mcpServers": {
"wavespeed": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@wavespeed/mcp"],
"env": { "WAVESPEED_API_KEY": "wsk_..." }
}
}
}Example prompts
- "Generate a 16:9 hero image of a cyberpunk skyline at golden hour."
- "Take ./photo.jpg and replace the background with a sunlit kitchen." (the agent passes "@./photo.jpg")
- "Animate ./hero.png with subtle parallax — check the price first."
