RunAPI MCP server for GPT-4o Image: create tasks, poll status, check pricing.

VerifiedSTDIODesktop onlyMedia & DesignAI & ML

Overview

AI-generated overview

RunAPI MCP server scoped to GPT-4o Image: lets an assistant create text-to-image tasks, poll their status, and check pricing.

What you can do
  • Create GPT-4o Image text-to-image tasks, optionally waiting for a terminal status, and get back a task id, status and output URLs
  • Fetch the current status and latest result payload of an existing task
  • Look up RunAPI pricing for the GPT-4o Image model line, which works without signing in
  • Authenticate RunAPI through a browser login flow that saves an API key to the shared RunAPI config file
When to use it
Use it when an assistant should generate images with GPT-4o Image through RunAPI and stay scoped to that one model line, rather than loading the full RunAPI catalog. It suits workflows where the assistant should check pricing first, submit a task, and report the task id and output URLs.
Requirements
Runs locally over stdio, typically launched with npx, so Node.js is needed. A RunAPI account is required for task creation and status polling: either call the login tool for browser authentication, or set the RUNAPI_API_KEY environment variable for headless or CI hosts. Pricing lookup works without a key. Network access to RunAPI is required.
Before you install
Task creation spends money on RunAPI, so confirm cost before expensive or batch requests. The login tool writes an API key to the shared RunAPI config file, and a pre-provisioned config holds the key in plain text; do not commit real keys. The server creates tasks and writes local config, and generated media is returned as URLs the assistant has not actually inspected.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Gpt 4o Image 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.

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

RunAPI GPT-4o Image MCP Server

GPT-4o Image API access for AI agents: run image generation operations, poll asynchronous results, and check pricing through one focused MCP server.

Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Roo Code, and any MCP-compatible host.

[npm version] [GitHub repository] [Apache-2.0 license] [MCP Server] [1 models]

Why This Package?

@runapi.ai/gpt-4o-image-mcp is a focused Model Context Protocol server for the GPT-4o Image model line on RunAPI. It gives MCP-compatible assistants direct access to 1 endpoint and 1 model variant without loading the full RunAPI catalog.

Use this per-model server when an agent should stay scoped to GPT-4o Image. Use @runapi.ai/mcp when one assistant should discover every RunAPI model line.

Install

Add it to Claude Code:

bash
claude mcp add gpt-4o-image -s user -- npx -y @runapi.ai/gpt-4o-image-mcp

Use project scope when the server should be shared with a repository:

bash
claude mcp add gpt-4o-image -s project -- npx -y @runapi.ai/gpt-4o-image-mcp

Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Roo Code, and other MCP hosts can use the same stdio command:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "gpt-4o-image": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "@runapi.ai/gpt-4o-image-mcp"]    }  }}

check_pricing works before sign-in. For task creation and status polling, ask your assistant to call the login tool. It opens a browser login and saves credentials to ~/.config/runapi/config.json, the same file used by runapi login. Headless and CI hosts can still set RUNAPI_API_KEY before starting the MCP host.

Ready-made examples are in examples/ for Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and Roo Code.

Tools

ToolAuthPurpose
text_to_imageYesCreate a GPT-4o Image text to image task and optionally wait for a terminal status. Returns the task id, status, and output URLs.
get_taskYesFetch the current status and latest payload for an existing task.
check_pricingNoLook up current pricing for a GPT-4o Image model and endpoint.

Models

GPT-4o Image covers 1 model variant across 1 endpoint. Each tool accepts the models listed for it:

ToolModels
text_to_imagegpt-4o-image

Model availability can change between releases. Use check_pricing or the GPT-4o Image model page for the current catalog view.

Agent Prompts

Ask your assistant in natural language; it can inspect pricing, create the task, and return the task id plus output URLs.

Create a task

text
Run a GPT-4o Image text to image task with RunAPI.

The assistant can call check_pricing, then text_to_image, and return the task id, status, and output URLs.

Submit without waiting

text
Create the task but don't wait for it to finish.

The assistant calls the create tool with wait: false and returns the task id. Check on it later with get_task.

Check pricing before creating

text
Check current GPT-4o Image pricing, then create the task if it matches my request.

The assistant calls check_pricing and can link to the GPT-4o Image model page for the canonical catalog entry.

Configuration

The server resolves auth in this order:

  1. RUNAPI_API_KEY environment variable, useful for headless and CI hosts
  2. ~/.config/runapi/config.json, created by the MCP login tool or runapi login
  3. No key, which still allows check_pricing

The config file is normally managed by login. A pre-provisioned headless config can use:

json
{  "apiKey": "your_runapi_key"}

Do not commit real API keys.
