Official Replicate MCP server published as npm package replicate-mcp, automatically updated with latest Replicate HTTP API features. Supports ALL operations in Replicate's HTTP API via natural language. Two deployment modes: Remote server (recommended, hosted at mcp.replicate.com with web-based authentication) and Local server (self-hosted via npx). Core capabilities: models.search (search for models), models.list (compare models), models.get (fetch model metadata), predictions.create (run models), predictions.get (fetch predictions), plus all other HTTP API operations. Example prompts: "Search Replicate for upscaler models and compare them", "Show me latest models by @fofr", "Generate image using black-forest-labs/flux-schnell", "Upscale that image using best upscaler model". Supports Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot in VS Code. Remote server: easiest setup, hosted URL, web authentication flow for API key. Local server: npx -y replicate-mcp, requires REPLICATE_API_TOKEN env var. Configuration: Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json), Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json project-level or ~/.cursor/mcp.json global, quick setup link available), VS Code (.vscode/mcp.json with Copilot Chat v1.99+). Experimental Code Mode: Write/execute TypeScript in Deno sandbox, 2 tools (search SDK docs, execute code), efficient for complex workflows, reduces context window usage. Code mode requires Node.js + Deno, local only (cloud sandboxing in development). Installation: npx -y replicate-mcp for regular mode, npx -y replicate-mcp@alpha --tools=code for code mode. Use cases: search/compare AI models, run predictions, fetch metadata, upscale images, generate art, complex multi-step workflows. Requires Replicate API token (create at replicate.com/account/api-tokens). Built on Model Context Protocol (MCP) by Anthropic, extends app capabilities by feeding OpenAPI schemas. Natural language to automated API execution. Local server HTTP transport, remote server hosted. Community contributions to replicate-mcp and replicate-mcp-code-mode repositories. Regular updates synchronized with HTTP API changes.
This server provides the following tools for AI assistants:
Search for AI models on Replicate by keywords, tags, or categories (e.g., upscalers, image generation)
List and compare AI models on Replicate, including by specific creators (e.g., @fofr)
Fetch detailed metadata for a specific model (configuration, versions, inputs, outputs, examples)
Run an AI model by creating a prediction (generate images, upscale, process data)
Fetch the status and results of a specific prediction by ID
List all predictions in your account with their statuses and results
