概览

AI 生成的概览

通过 Chutes 媒体模型生成图像、视频、音乐和语音,并把素材保存到你的项目工作区。

可以做什么
  • 按类型或关键词查找可用的 Chutes 媒体生成模型
  • 查看模型的实时 cords 与输入 schema,包括必填字段、类型、默认值和示例载荷
  • 执行生成并把素材保存到输出目录,返回文件路径
  • 通过传入工作区中的 image、mask 等文件路径来编辑已有媒体,由服务器读取并编码
适用场景
适合在编码代理需要为项目创建或编辑图像、视频、音乐、语音素材时使用,并希望文件直接写入工作区、附带来源记录,而无需手动搬运。
运行要求
以 stdio 方式在本地运行,通过 npm(npx 或全局安装)启动,需要 Node.js 20.3 或更高版本。必须在 CHUTES_API_KEY 环境变量中提供 Chutes API 密钥。可选变量可调整认证方式、API 基础地址、输出目录、预热、冷启动重试、素材大小上限、进度间隔、未知参数处理与来源记录。需要访问 Chutes 的网络连接。
安装前请注意
生成会消耗 Chutes 的 GPU 调用,可能产生账户费用。服务器会把提示词及引用的工作区文件发送给 Chutes,请勿传入敏感内容。它会向工作区写入文件,只有在显式设置 overwrite 时才会覆盖已有素材。API 密钥从 CHUTES_API_KEY 读取并仅保存在内存中,自定义 API 基础地址不会收到该密钥。该项目为独立社区项目,与 Chutes 无隶属关系。

安装

在 SourceWeft 中

  1. 打开 控制台中的 Chutes Media MCP,将其添加到工作区。
  2. 为需要使用其工具的对话启用该服务。

Desktop only,通过 STDIO。 STDIO 服务会启动本地进程,因此需要 SourceWeft 桌面宿主。

README

Chutes Media MCP

Generate image, video, music, and speech through Chutes from any coding agent, with the asset saved straight into the project you are working on.

[CI] [License] [npm]

[Chutes Media MCP at work: an MCP client, the model's live schema, and media saved into the workspace]

Chutes Media MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and command-line interface (CLI) that give coding agents access to Chutes media models. It ships as an MCP server on standard input/output (stdio), a thin CLI for agents without MCP support, and a bundled Agent Skill for the describe-then-generate workflow.

Instead of hardcoding a payload per model, the server fetches the model's live schema and validates each request before spending a GPU call, then writes the asset and a provenance record into your workspace. It works with Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, Codex, OpenCode, and Claude Desktop.

This is an independent community project. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Chutes.

Install

Run the server from npm without installing it globally:

bash
npx -y chutes-media-mcp

Install it globally to put both binaries on your path:

bash
npm install -g chutes-media-mcp

Register the server with Claude Code:

bash
claude mcp add chutes-media --env CHUTES_API_KEY=cpk_your_key -- npx -y chutes-media-mcp

For Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, OpenCode, and Claude Desktop, add the mcpServers entry documented in docs/mcp-and-cli.md. Running from GitHub instead of npm is supported with npx -y github:TheStreamCode/chutes-media-mcp. Upgrading from 1.x? See docs/migration-2.0.md.

Quick start

  1. Create a Chutes API key at chutes.ai and register the server as shown under Install.
  2. Ask your agent for an asset: "Generate a cinematic hero image of a misty mountain range and save it in this project."
  3. The agent discovers a suitable model, reads its live schema, validates the payload, and saves the result under assets/chutes/image/. The returned path is ready to reference from your code.

The same describe-then-generate flow is available from a shell through the chutes-media CLI. See docs/mcp-and-cli.md for the tool reference, CLI examples, and image editing.

Features

  • Four media kinds (image, video, music, speech), plus image editing when a model exposes an edit cord such as img2img or inpaint.
  • Live model contract: cords and input schema are fetched at runtime, never hardcoded.
  • Payload validation against the live schema before any GPU call is made.
  • Workspace-contained file access; existing assets survive unless overwrite is explicitly set.
  • A provenance sidecar per asset with model, cord, params, and schema hash.
  • Automatic cold-start retry with backoff for models that scale to zero.
  • Progress updates for long video and music jobs.
  • One shared core, so the MCP server and the CLI behave identically.

Requirements

  • Node.js 20.3 or newer for the published server and CLI. Node.js 20 is end-of-life; use Node.js 22 or 24 LTS in production.
  • A Chutes API key.
  • Contributors using the locked toolchain need Node.js ^20.19.0, >= 22.13.0, or >= 24.

Configuration

VariableRequiredDefaultPurpose
CHUTES_API_KEYYesnoneChutes API key. Read from the environment; never written to disk.
CHUTES_AUTH_SCHEMENorawHow the key is sent in Authorization: raw (the key as-is) or bearer (value prefixed with Bearer and a space). On a 401, try the other value.
CHUTES_API_BASE_URLNohttps://api.chutes.aiManagement API base URL. HTTPS is required except for loopback development; custom endpoints never receive the Chutes API key.
CHUTES_OUTPUT_DIRNoassets/chutesOutput directory inside the agent's working directory. A <kind>/ subfolder is appended.
CHUTES_WARMUPNotrueWarm models up before invoking them. Set to false to skip warmup.
CHUTES_COLD_START_RETRIESNo4Retries when a cold model returns 503 no-instances. 0 disables retries.
CHUTES_COLD_START_BACKOFF_MSNo8000Base backoff between cold-start retries; it grows per attempt.
CHUTES_MAX_ASSET_MBNo512Maximum response or local input asset size kept in memory. The maximum is 4096.
CHUTES_PROGRESS_INTERVAL_MSNo5000How often progress heartbeats are emitted while a call blocks.
CHUTES_ALLOW_UNKNOWN_PARAMSNofalseWhen true, accept parameters that are not in the model schema. The default rejects them so a renamed field fails loudly.
CHUTES_PROVENANCENotrueWrite a <asset>.json sidecar with model, cord, params, and schema hash. Set to false to disable.

Generated assets are saved under ./assets/chutes/<kind>/, relative to wherever the agent runs, so they land inside the project. Output traversal and symlink escapes are rejected, and existing files are preserved unless overwrite is enabled.

Privacy and security

The API key is read from CHUTES_API_KEY and kept in memory. Credential-bearing requests go only to HTTPS Chutes hosts, remote asset URLs are screened against private-network destinations, and file access is contained to the workspace. Query strings and fragments are removed from network-error messages so signed asset URLs do not end up in logs. The project collects no telemetry. See SECURITY.md for reporting.

Troubleshooting

A Chutes request returns 401

The key is missing, invalid, or sent with the wrong authentication scheme. Confirm CHUTES_API_KEY is set for the process that launches the server, then set CHUTES_AUTH_SCHEME to bearer or raw, whichever differs from the current value.

A model returns 503 no-instances

The model is scaled to zero and Chutes has no instance ready. The server retries automatically; raise CHUTES_COLD_START_RETRIES and CHUTES_COLD_START_BACKOFF_MS if the delay is too short, or pick another model of the same kind.

Generation fails with an unknown or rejected parameter

The live model schema changed or the parameter name is wrong. Call describe_media_model again and rebuild the payload from the current schema. CHUTES_ALLOW_UNKNOWN_PARAMS=true is a temporary workaround, not a fix.

An asset write is rejected

Every input and output path must resolve inside the current workspace, and an existing file is not replaced implicitly. Pass the explicit overwrite option (or --overwrite in the CLI) after checking the target path.

Development

Requirements: Node.js ^20.19.0, >= 22.13.0, or >= 24 with npm.

bash
git clone https://github.com/TheStreamCode/chutes-media-mcpcd chutes-media-mcpnpm cinpm run checknpm run verify:mcpnpm run release:check

npm run check runs the format check, lint, type check, coverage tests, and the build. npm run verify:mcp starts the built stdio server with a placeholder key and validates the MCP handshake, the instructions and the three tool definitions without calling Chutes. npm run release:check keeps package.json, CHANGELOG.md, CITATION.cff and server.json on the same version. CONTRIBUTING.md covers the Windows path caveat and the opt-in live tests.

list_media_models

List Chutes media models

List available Chutes media-generation models (image / video / music / speech), optionally filtered by kind or a free-text query. Use this to discover a model, then call describe_media_model before generate_media.

输入参数kindlimitquery

describe_media_model

Describe a Chutes media model

Fetch a model's live cords and input schemas so you can compose a valid request. ALWAYS call this before generate_media for an unfamiliar model. Returns every cord (e.g. generate, and img2img/inpaint when present) with its required fields, types, defaults and a minimal example payload.

输入参数model必填

generate_media

Generate media with Chutes

Run a generation and save the asset into the workspace. `params` is the payload you composed from describe_media_model. For editing, `params` may reference workspace file paths (e.g. image, mask) which the server reads and encodes. The asset is saved under output_dir (default ./assets/chutes/<kind>/) and the saved path is returned. Long video/music jobs block with progress updates.
