BudgetPixel MCP Server

Generate AI images, video, music, and sound effects — and upscale them — from any MCP-compatible client.

BudgetPixel is a remote MCP server. There is nothing to install and no API keys to manage: connect once, sign in with Google, and your BudgetPixel plan credits and discounts apply automatically.

Endpoint: https://mcp.budgetpixel.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP, OAuth)

Setup

Claude Code

claude mcp add budgetpixel --transport http https://mcp.budgetpixel.com/mcp

Tools

Tool	What it does
`generate_image`	Text-to-image, editing, image-to-image, and multi-reference generation
`generate_video`	Text-to-video, image-to-video (start plus optional end frame), reference-to-video, and video-to-video editing
`generate_music`	Full songs from a prompt and/or your own lyrics, or instrumentals
`generate_sound_effect`	Foley, ambience, UI sounds, impacts, and transitions — optionally synced to a video's events
`upscale_image`	Higher resolution in seconds, or creative detail enhancement steered by a prompt
`upscale_video`	1080p or 4K at 30 or 60 fps via Topaz Labs, inputs up to 20 seconds
`list_models`	The live model catalog with prices, role hints, and per-model input limits
`upload_media`	Upload a local file and get a URL to use as a generation input
`check_generation_status`	Poll a running job and collect the finished media
`get_generation_history`	Your recent generations, reusable as inputs
`get_credit_balance`	Remaining plan credits
`create_social_post`	Publish a finished generation to the BudgetPixel community feed

How jobs work

Generation tools return a job id rather than the finished media.

Tool	Job id	Poll with	Typical wait
`generate_image`	numeric	`check_generation_status`	seconds
`generate_video`	uuid	`check_generation_status`	minutes
`generate_music`	numeric	`check_generation_status` with `type: "music"`	a few minutes
`generate_sound_effect`	numeric	`check_generation_status` with `type: "sound_effect"`	~15s text, minutes for video
`upscale_image`	—	returns the result directly	seconds
`upscale_video`	numeric	call `upscale_video` again with just `job_id`	minutes

Music and sound-effect ids are numeric like image ids, so the type argument is required for those two — without it the id is read as an image job.

Local files must go through upload_media first: video and audio inputs on generate_video accept URLs only.

Requirements

A BudgetPixel account. Browsing the model catalog is free; generation, upscaling, uploads, and publishing require any paid plan (Starter, Basic, Premium, Pro or Ultra) — see budgetpixel.com/pricing.

Video is billed per second and by resolution, so confirm cost before long or high-resolution jobs. Failed generations are never charged.
