What is the Clipia MCP server?

Most AI and media services work still happens through a UI a human drives. Clipia MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. Generate AI images and video from Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor via remote MCP.

The short version

Clipia is an AI creation platform. This hosted, remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server lets any MCP-capable agent generate images, video, speech and music; chat with text models; plan and compose videos; create and edit presentations; poll results; browse models; search prompt templates; and read your credit balance — no SDK and no code required.

  • Pay from Russia & CIS — — Russian bank cards, SBP, MIR, no VPN required. Western processors reject these; Clipia is built for this market (and works internationally too)
  • 60+ flagship models, one endpoint — — Western and Chinese models side by side: Veo 3.1, Sora, Kling 3, Seedance 2, Hailuo, Wan 2.7, Nano Banana, FLUX, Midjourney V7, Imagen 4, and more. No juggling multiple foreign subscriptions
  • Sandbox without charges — — clipia_test_* keys return instant mock results with no credit spend, perfect for wiring up an integration or CI
  • 3500+ prompt templates — — search_templates gives the agent curated, ready-to-use prompts (hybrid search, RU/EN), each with a recommended model
  • Cost in every response — — every generation returns its exact cost in credits, and get_balance shows the remaining balance. No hidden MCP markup
  • Compact tool surface — — 10 core tools with tight schemas keep the agent's context window light; enabled capabilities add only the tools they need

The tools it exposes

The server publishes 14 tools. What each one is for:

  • generate_image — Generate image(s) from a text prompt, optionally with reference images (editing / image-to-image). Waits briefly and usually returns the finished
  • generate_video — Start a video generation from a text prompt (text-to-video) or from a start image (image-to-video, pass image_url). Returns request_id and cost in
  • generate_audio — Generate speech from text with a selected voice and language. Returns an MP3 when complete
  • generate_music — Generate background music or a soundtrack from a description of mood, genre and tempo
  • wait_generation — Wait for a generation to finish (long-poll up to wait_seconds, then returns current status). Call repeatedly until COMPLETED, FAILED or CANCELED
  • get_generation — Get the current status/result of a generation without waiting. When COMPLETED, output.images[].url is the inline webp preview and
  • list_models — List available AI models with type (text/image/video/audio), capabilities and pricing in credits. Text models expose per-1K input/output rates
  • get_model — Get model details and pricing: input_schema for generation models; context limits and per-1K input/output rates for text models
  • get_balance — Get the credit balance of the connected Clipia account and 30-day usage of the current API key
  • search_templates — Search 3500+ curated prompt templates (hybrid text+semantic search, Russian or English query). Each result has a ready-to-use prompt and a
  • chatCurrently enabled, feature-gated: chat with a text LLM using a prompt or messages array; returns reply text, token usage and credit cost
  • generate_scenarioCurrently enabled, feature-gated: turn a brief into per-scene video prompts and a soundtrack prompt

What it needs from you

Configuration is passed through the environment: CLIPIA_API_KEY, CLIPIA_MCP_URL, CLIPIA_TEST_API_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Getting it running

Because this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.

How it compares

Among the AI and media services options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Clipia's toolset — generate_image, generate_video, generate_audio and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by clipia-ai; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Clipia's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Things to watch

  • Your data travels to the provider's service, so the usual questions apply about what you send and what they retain.
  • With 14 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Clipia.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Available tools

ToolWhat it does
generate_imageGenerate image(s) from a text prompt, optionally with reference images (editing / image-to-image). Waits briefly and usually returns the finished image inline (URL + small preview). Cost in credits is returned.
generate_videoStart a video generation from a text prompt (text-to-video) or from a start image (image-to-video, pass image_url). Returns request_id and cost in credits immediately — renders take 1–10 min, poll with wait_generation.
generate_audioGenerate speech from text with a selected voice and language. Returns an MP3 when complete.
generate_musicGenerate background music or a soundtrack from a description of mood, genre and tempo.
wait_generationWait for a generation to finish (long-poll up to wait_seconds, then returns current status). Call repeatedly until COMPLETED, FAILED or CANCELED. Returns output URLs (and an inline preview) when done.
get_generationGet the current status/result of a generation without waiting. When COMPLETED, output.images[].url is the inline webp preview and output.images[].original_url is the full-quality PNG/JPG.
list_modelsList available AI models with type (text/image/video/audio), capabilities and pricing in credits. Text models expose per-1K input/output rates; generation models expose a base price. Filter by type / search.
get_modelGet model details and pricing: input_schema for generation models; context limits and per-1K input/output rates for text models.
get_balanceGet the credit balance of the connected Clipia account and 30-day usage of the current API key.
search_templatesSearch 3500+ curated prompt templates (hybrid text+semantic search, Russian or English query). Each result has a ready-to-use prompt and a recommended model.
chat_Currently enabled, feature-gated:_ chat with a text LLM using a prompt or messages array; returns reply text, token usage and credit cost.
generate_scenario_Currently enabled, feature-gated:_ turn a brief into per-scene video prompts and a soundtrack prompt.
compose_video_Currently enabled, feature-gated:_ stitch 2–20 completed scenes into a final MP4 with optional voiceover, soundtrack and subtitles.
generate_presentation_Currently enabled, feature-gated:_ render an editable PPTX, PDF and previews from a structured deck specification.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Clipia to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 14 tools (generate_image, generate_video, generate_audio, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Clipia directly.
