Overview

AI-generated overview

A local MCP server that lets an assistant generate AI images from a text prompt through Veida's anonymous free tier, with no API key or account.

What you can do
Generate an image from a prompt and get back a hosted image URL, waiting through submission and polling (about 40–120 seconds). List the available models, which ones run signed-out, and their pages. Browse related tool pages such as editor, upscaler and background remover. Check the free-tier limits so an assistant does not build something that always fails.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to produce a quick illustrative image without setting up an account or buying an API key, or to check Veida's model shelf and free-tier ceilings before relying on it.
Requirements
Runs as a local process over stdio, installed via npx from the npm package veida-mcp, so Node.js and network access are needed. No environment variables, headers or API key are configured; the server uses an anonymous client id.
Before you install
Free output is 1K and watermarked, and the anonymous grant is small: about 7 images per day per IP, with a fresh client id minted per image. Editing an existing image cannot run anonymously and is not offered. Prompts and generated images go to Veida's service; signing in removes the watermark and lifts the cap.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Veida Mcp in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

README

Veida MCP

An MCP server that actually generates images, with no API key and no account.

Most image MCP servers are a wrapper around a key you have to go and buy first. This one talks to the anonymous tier of Veida — a client id in a header instead of a login — so it works the moment it is installed.

What the free tier is, measured

  • The anonymous grant is 4 credits and one image costs 4 — so the server mints a fresh client id per image rather than reusing one.
  • A ceiling of 30 credits per IP per day sits on top: roughly 7 images a day from one machine, however many ids it invents.
  • Free output is 1K and watermarked.
  • 🔴 Editing an existing image cannot run anonymously. The editing model costs 30 credits against a 4-credit grant, so an anonymous edit can never be paid for. The tool set says so rather than offering a call that always fails; for edits, sign in and use the image editor or the ChatGPT image editor.
  • There is no video on this site, so no video tool.

Signing in removes the watermark, lifts the cap and opens the rest of the shelf. The current lineup is on the models the generator offers: GPT Image 2 when the picture has to contain readable text, Nano Banana 2 for instruction following, Seedream 5.0 Lite for colour and composition, and Qwen Image 3 for typography. Pricing lists what each tier costs.

Writing prompts that work

Name the light, the material and the composition. "A product photo of a mug" gives the model nothing; "matte black ceramic mug on pale oak, soft window light from the left, shallow depth of field" gives it a picture. Worked examples live in the prompt library, and the showcase is there if you want to judge output quality before wiring anything up.

The same engine is what the ChatGPT image generator page serves in a browser — this server is the headless door to it.
