Generate images, video, music, speech and text with 60 models through your MostAI account — from Claude Code, Claude Desktop or any MCP client.

PyPI License: MIT Python 3.10+

🇷🇺 Быстрый старт (по-русски)

MostAI прямо в вашем ИИ-помощнике: просите словами — он генерирует картинки, видео, музыку, озвучку. Нужны Claude Code или Claude Desktop, Google Chrome и аккаунт MostAI.

# 1. Поставить uv (если ещё нет) — Windows (PowerShell):
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
#    ...или macOS / Linux:  curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# 2. Поставить и настроить сервер (одна команда всё сделает и откроет окно входа):
uv tool install "mostai-mcp[login]"
mostai-mcp setup

Войдите в аккаунт MostAI в открывшемся окне Chrome (Google, ВКонтакте, почта — любым способом), перезапустите Claude Code и скажите: «Сгенерируй картинку красного велосипеда на пляже через MostAI». Первые картинки на Nano Banana 2 — бесплатные. Вопросы и помощь со входом: Telegram https://t.me/mostAI_com, чат на https://most-ai.com или contact@most-ai.com.

What it is

mostai-mcp is an MCP server that connects Claude to your own MostAI account. You sign in once (Google, VK or email — any method MostAI offers); after that Claude can pick a model, price a job, generate, look at the result and save the file for you. Generations spend your real MostAI balance (₽) — with free quota used automatically wherever it exists.

  • Images — text-to-image and image-to-image edits (up to 14 reference pictures).
  • Video — text-to-video, animate a still photo, first/last-frame control, Russian voice-over on some models.
  • Music, speech and text — songs from lyrics, expressive TTS, multi-speaker dialogue, and chat models including a free unlimited one.
  • Ready-made apps (no prompt, just files): face swap, background removal, photo and video upscaling, photo restoration, live photo, lip-sync a portrait to a voice, a trending dance from a single photo, and raster → SVG vectorization.
  • Second opinion — ask a different model (OpenAI / Google / DeepSeek / Kimi / GLM / Anthropic) for an independent take on a plan, answer or file; free on the default model.

The catalogue is read live from the API at every call, so new models appear without updating this package — 60 live models in the 2026-09-03 snapshot.

Install

Prerequisites: uv, Google Chrome, a MostAI account, and an MCP client — Claude Code or Claude Desktop.

# 1. Install uv if you don't have it — Windows (PowerShell):
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
# ... or macOS / Linux:
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# 2. Install and set up the server
uv tool install "mostai-mcp[login]"
mostai-mcp setup

The same two commands work on Windows in PowerShell — no repository download needed. The [login] extra pulls in Playwright, used only by the one-time mostai-login sign-in window; without it the server runs but cannot open a sign-in browser.

mostai-mcp setup does the whole install in one pass: registers the mostai server with Claude Code at user scope (claude mcp add mostai -s user -- …), installs the usage skill into ~/.claude/skills/mostai/SKILL.md, seeds ~/.mostai-mcp/.env with safe spend limits, opens the sign-in window (skipped if you are already signed in), then prints your balance, free quota and the first thing to try. Flags: --no-login, --skip-claude, --print-desktop-config, --config-dir PATH (override CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR / ~/.claude).

2. Claude Desktop

Install as above, then run mostai-mcp setup --skip-claude --print-desktop-config. It prints the path of your claude_desktop_config.json%APPDATA%\Claude\ on Windows, ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/ on macOS, ~/.config/Claude/ on Linux — and the block to paste into it:

{ "mcpServers": { "mostai": { "command": "/full/path/to/mostai-mcp" } } }

--skip-claude skips the Claude Code CLI registration, which is pointless if you only use Desktop. Restart Claude Desktop after editing the file.

3. Codex, Cursor and other MCP clients

mostai-mcp is a standard stdio MCP server, so any MCP client can run it. First install it and sign in once — the same thing mostai-mcp setup does for Claude Code:

uv tool install "mostai-mcp[login]"
mostai-login          # one-time sign-in (Google, VK, email…); the session is stored in your keyring

Then point your client at the mostai-mcp command. Codex has no mcp add command, so edit ~/.codex/config.toml directly:

[mcp_servers.mostai]
command = "mostai-mcp"

Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and other clients — register a stdio MCP server whose command is mostai-mcp (or uvx mostai-mcp to run it without a global install), then restart the client. The usage skill that mostai-mcp setup installs is Claude-only; other clients rely on the tool descriptions the server already exposes, so no extra setup is needed.

First touch

Restart Claude Code (or Desktop) and say: "Generate an image of a red bicycle on a beach with MostAI". The first Nano Banana 2 images are free — free quota per model is reported by get_balance().free_generations and list_free_generations(), and the tools use it automatically.

Signing in

Sign-in happens in a separate Chrome window, not your normal one. That is not a preference: modern Chrome (App-Bound Encryption, verified against Chrome 152 on 2026-09-03) encrypts its cookie store so no other program can read it, and holds the Cookies file open exclusively while it runs, so it cannot even be copied. So mostai-login opens its own Chrome profile (~/.mostai-mcp/pw-profile/) where you sign in to MostAI once — by whatever method your account uses (Google, VK, email, …). The profile persists — later refreshes need no re-login, and your everyday Chrome can stay open.

The cookie is read from, in order: the MOSTAI_COOKIE environment variable (for headless/CI use), the system keyring (Windows Credential Manager / macOS Keychain / Linux SecretService, service mostai-mcp) — the normal case — and ~/.mostai-mcp/.env, a plain-text fallback for environments with no working keyring. Check status without opening a browser with mostai-login --check.

If a tool returns 401 / session expired, run mostai-login again. The running server re-reads the cookie from the keyring on an auth error and retries once, so no server restart is needed — which matters for long-lived processes like Claude Desktop.

Tools

24 tools. Their docstrings in the server are the authoritative reference — that is what your MCP client actually reads.

ToolWhat it does
Catalogue
list_models(type?, sort_by_price?, include_deprecated?)Live catalogue with price, free_left, capabilities (image:edit, video:first_last_frame, low_moderation, …), accepted inputs, no_prompt, credits_per_message. Retired models hidden by default
describe_model(model_id)One model's exact parameters and options, attachment slots, voices, dance presets, price and a copyable example_call
Account
get_balance()Balance in ₽, low-balance alert, and free generations per model
spending_status()Balance plus the configured spend guards
whoami()Email, message credits, permissions
list_free_generations()Remaining free runs per model (-1 = unlimited)
estimate_price(model, prompt?, aspect_ratio?, duration?, quality?, parameters?)Price a job in ₽ without running it; invalid values are refused here
topup(amount_rub?)The MostAI top-up page link (pay_url) — the user pays there, choosing country and payment method themselves; this server cannot take or confirm a payment
Text
chat(prompt, model?, system?, session?)Text reply. Spends message credits, not ₽. Default chatgpt-free is free and unlimited
ask_second_opinion(question, files?, model?, session?, confirm?)An independent take from a different model — optionally on files it reads (documents, spreadsheets, images-as-OCR, audio/video). Default chatgpt-free is free; a paid model quotes the price and asks first
Images
generate_image(prompt, model?, aspect_ratio?, quality?, images?, …)Text-to-image; images = references. Default google/nano-banana-2
edit_image(prompt, source, model?, …)Image-to-image: transform an existing picture (URL or local path, or a list)
Video
generate_video(prompt, model?, duration?, quality?, mode?, images?, videos?, audios?, …)Text-to-video. Default xai/grok-imagine-video. mode: model-specific — reference/frames on seedance-2.x/2.5, wan-3.0, minimax-h3, veo-3.1; tone (normal/fun/spicy) on grok — see describe_model
animate_image(prompt, source, model?, mode?, …)Animate a still photo; prompt describes the motion. On the reference/frames models, mode defaults to frames HERE (a still photo is the point of this tool) — pass mode="reference" to opt out; two pictures then become the first and last frame
Audio
generate_audio(text, model?, voice?, style?, dialogue?, …)Speech (elevenlabs/v3, google/gemini-3.1-flash-tts), multi-speaker dialogue, or music (suno: text = lyrics, style = genre)
Any model
generate_media(model, prompt?, images?, videos?, audios?, named_images?, preset?, parameters?, …)Call any model in the catalogue, including the prompt-less apps
Files & gallery
media_status(public_id)Poll an async generation
download_media(url, dest_path?)Save the binary to disk (default ~/.mostai-mcp/downloads)
preview_media(url_or_public_id)Show the image inline so Claude can judge it (video: its thumbnail)
list_gallery(limit?, success_only?, tag?, public?)Your gallery, or the public explore feed
Lifecycle
share_link(public_id)Public share URL — https://most-ai.com/s/{public_id}
publish_media(item_id, published?)Publish or unpublish to the public gallery
like_media(item_id)Like a generation
delete_media(item_id)Permanently delete one of your generations (irreversible)

Every generator also accepts save_path, max_price, confirm and wait; all of them except generate_audio also accept free_mode (audio has no free tier).

What you can ask for

Say thisWhat runs
"Generate an image of a red bicycle on a beach"generate_imagegoogle/nano-banana-2 (free quota)
"Make this photo look like a watercolour painting"edit_image(source=…)
"Turn this photo into a 5-second video"animate_imagexai/grok-imagine-video
"Cut out the background of this picture"generate_media("background-remover-v1", images=[…])
"Put my face on this portrait"generate_media("faceswap", named_images={"swap_image": …, "input_image": …})
"Upscale this photo 4×"generate_media("prunaai/p-image-upscale", images=[photo], parameters={"factor": "x4"})
"Make this portrait say this line"generate_media("kling/ai-avatar", images=[photo], audios=[voice])
"Make a dancing video from this photo"generate_media("kwaivgi/kling-v2.6-motion-control", images=[photo], preset="…")
"Read this text in a warm female voice"generate_audioelevenlabs/v3
"Write me a song about autumn in Yekaterinburg"generate_audiosuno (text = lyrics, style = genre)
"How much would a 10-second clip on Kling 3.0 cost?"estimate_price — no money spent
"Get a second opinion on this plan from another model"ask_second_opinion(question, files?) — free on chatgpt-free

Money & safety

  • Free first. free_mode=None (the default) runs for free whenever the model still has free quota and you did not pin a paid quality/duration; the result reports free_mode, free_locked and free_left_after. True forces free, False always pays.
  • A price gate, not a block. A generation costing MOSTAI_WARN_PRICE (default 50₽) returns needs_confirmation with the price and charges nothing; it runs only when the call is repeated with confirm=True. Set MOSTAI_WARN_PRICE=0 to turn the gate off.
  • MOSTAI_MAX_PRICE is an optional absolute hard cap (unset by default) — anything above it is refused outright; MOSTAI_MIN_BALANCE (default 50₽) drives the low-balance alert; per-call max_price= caps a single generation.
  • Validation before money. Parameters, attachment counts and required slots are checked against the live catalogue before a byte is uploaded, so a wrong value comes back as an error listing what's allowed — not as a charged failure.
  • Two currencies. Media spends ₽; chat spends message credits (whoami().message_credits, credits_per_message in list_models(type='text')) — a text model showing price_rub: 0 is not free.
  • Paths are not sandboxed. save_path / dest_path write wherever the agent asks — the server does not restrict paths, so keep untrusted content out of the prompt.
  • Where to see a price: estimate_price(model, …) with the parameters you actually intend to use, or list_models. price_from: true means the listed price is the cheapest tier ("from") — longer or higher-quality jobs cost more.

Orientation only, from the 2026-09-03 catalogue snapshot: images ≈ 3–26₽ (the popular ones ≈ 3–10₽), the prompt-less AI apps ≈ 3–26₽, TTS ≈ 4₽, a song ≈ 20₽, prompted video ≈ 14–66₽ plus a per-second charge. Always check the live price before spending.

Updating

uv tool upgrade mostai-mcp

Close Claude Code before updating — while it runs it locks the installed executable and the reinstall fails. Restart it afterwards. get_balance() and whoami() add an update_available line when a newer release is out (checked at most once a day).

Where things live

Everything lives in ~/.mostai-mcp (override with the MOSTAI_HOME env var): .env (spend limits, and the cookie only as a keyring fallback), pw-profile/ (the dedicated Chrome profile used for sign-in), downloads/ (default destination of download_media and save_path), version_check.json (cache of the daily update check). The session cookie itself lives in the system keyring under the service name mostai-mcp.

Troubleshooting

  • 401 / 403 / "session expired" — the cookie expired. Run mostai-login. No server restart needed.
  • "not enough message credits"chat on a paid text model with no credits left. Check whoami().message_credits, top up, or switch to chatgpt-free.
  • failed: true with alternatives — the model refused or errored (moderation is the usual cause). Rephrase, or try one of the listed alternative models.
  • needs_confirmation in the result — the job costs ≥ MOSTAI_WARN_PRICE. Nothing was charged; repeat the call with confirm=True to proceed.
  • "Model … is not in the catalogue" — the id is wrong or the model was retired. Run list_models() for current ids; include_deprecated=True shows retired ones.
  • Windows: "uv is not recognized" right after installing uv — restart the terminal, or run uv tool update-shell and restart it.
  • claude CLI not found — setup prints the manual step; once the CLI is installed run claude mcp add mostai -s user -- /full/path/to/mostai-mcp yourself.

How it works

mostai-mcp is an unofficial connector to the private app API behind chatbot.most-ai.com. It authenticates with your browser session cookie and speaks to:

EndpointUsed for
GET /api/v1/models-v2The live model catalogue (readable without auth)
POST /api/v1/attachmentsUpload input files up front (free); the body then references them by uuid
POST /api/v1/images/pricePrice a job (pure JSON body)
POST /api/v1/images/generateStart a generation (multipart with a json field)
GET /api/v1/images/shared/{public_id}Poll the result
POST /api/v1/chatText, streamed over SSE

The catalogue is the source of truth: parameters, attachment slots, prompt-vs-app expectations and prices are normalized from models-v2 and validated against it before a request is sent, so there is no hardcoded model list to go stale.
