Every agent, one URL.

• Transport: streamable HTTP (stateless). No local install.
• Auth: OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and dynamic client registration, or Authorization: Bearer ank_….
• Billing is the same as the REST API: every image and video is charged to the connected account’s balance.

01Claude

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http animeapi https://animeapi.ai/mcp

Then run /mcp in Claude Code and choose AnimeAPI to sign in. To use a key instead of OAuth:

claude mcp add --transport http animeapi https://animeapi.ai/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $ANIMEAPI_KEY"

Claude apps

Add a custom connector with the URL above and sign in when prompted.

02ChatGPT

With developer mode on, create an app (connector) with the URL above and choose OAuth. ChatGPT registers itself, sends you to the AnimeAPI consent page, and receives a key for your account.

03Cursor

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "animeapi": { "url": "https://animeapi.ai/mcp" }
  }
}

Cursor signs you in on first use. For a key instead, add "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ank_your_key" }.

04OpenAI Codex

[mcp_servers.animeapi]
url = "https://animeapi.ai/mcp"
bearer_token_env_var = "ANIMEAPI_KEY"

Export ANIMEAPI_KEY in the shell you start Codex from.

05OpenClaw

{
  mcp: {
    servers: {
      animeapi: {
        url: "https://animeapi.ai/mcp",
        transport: "streamable-http",
        headers: { Authorization: "Bearer ank_your_key" }
      }

}

06Hermes Agent

mcp_servers:
  animeapi:

07Grok (xAI API)

Pass AnimeAPI as a remote MCP tool in a Responses API request:

curl https://api.x.ai/v1/responses \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $XAI_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "grok-4.7",
    "input": [{"role": "user", "content": "Draw a knight cat drinking tea in a sunflower field."}],
    "tools": [{
      "type": "mcp",
      "server_url": "https://animeapi.ai/mcp",
      "server_label": "animeapi",
      "headers": {"Authorization": "Bearer '"$ANIMEAPI_KEY"'"}
    }]
  }'

08The tools

generate_anime_image

generate_anime_image returns a markdown image, the image URL, what the model read, the cost and your remaining balance, plus the same fields as structured output.

generate_anime_video

Starts a video and waits for it for up to a few minutes. When it’s done, the tool returns the MP4 URL (also as a video/mp4 resource link), what the model read and the cost. If it’s still rendering, it returns the video id instead, and the agent picks the result up later with get_anime_video. Priced per second: 480p $0.016, 768p $0.04.

get_anime_video

Takes the id from generate_anime_video and returns the video’s status, plus the MP4 URL once it has succeeded. Free to call.
