SpicyAPI MCP

Official local MCP server for SpicyAPI, a pay-per-use API for 200+ image, video, audio and chat models: lets Claude, Cursor, Codex and other MCP clients browse the model catalog, get a US-dollar quote, upload files, and create and collect generation tasks. Paid steps ask the user to confirm first.

Install

claude mcp add spicyapi -e SPICY_API_KEY=$SPICY_API_KEY -- npx --yes --package=@spicyapi/mcp spicyapi-mcp

Needs Node.js 22.13+ and a key starting sk-spicy- from the SpicyAPI console. The --package flag is required because the package ships two binaries.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spicyapi": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["--yes", "--package=@spicyapi/mcp", "spicyapi-mcp"],
      "env": { "SPICY_API_KEY": "YOUR_SPICY_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Save in ~/.cursor/mcp.json (user level, so the key is not committed). Not yet confirmed by us.

From the maker’s docs (checked Oct 28, 2026). Our harness hasn’t run this server yet, so these steps are not verified by us.
