What is Runware MCP Server?
Runware MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server that connects AI agents to Runware's full model catalog, image, video, audio, 3D, and text/LLM models from every major provider, plus thousands of community models. It exposes tools for generating and editing media, searching the catalog, and checking pricing, so any MCP-compatible client can run Runware tasks directly from a conversation.
How to use Runware MCP Server?
To use Runware MCP Server, add a custom connector in Claude Desktop pointing to the hosted server at https://mcp.runware.ai and sign in with your Runware account via OAuth. Alternatively, configure it locally within the mcpServers section of your claude_desktop_config.json file, running npx -y @runware/mcp with your Runware API key set as an environment variable.
