Connect Claude & ChatGPT to ImageRouter
Ask your AI to generate an image, edit one or make a short video, and it sends the job to the model you choose on ImageRouter. It can list the available image, video and text models, get text answers from other models and check your remaining credits. You pick the model in plain words instead of calling the API yourself.
Free plan, no credit card. Takes about a minute.

“Which image models can I use on ImageRouter?”

Questions
What can the AI do in ImageRouter?
The AI can list the available models and check your credit balance and usage. It can generate images, edit images, generate short videos and get text answers from a chosen model, either as a chat completion or from a plain prompt.
Does the AI see my ImageRouter credentials?
No. Your ImageRouter credentials are encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save them, they are not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.
Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?
Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can for example allow images but not video. Every generation uses your ImageRouter credits, so those tools can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.
Does it work with ChatGPT?
Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.
What does it cost?
PipMCP has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own ImageRouter account. Generations are charged against your ImageRouter credits.
Does the AI spend my ImageRouter credits?
Yes. Generating images and videos, editing images and getting text answers all use credits from your ImageRouter account. Listing models and checking your balance do not generate anything. You can ask the AI for your balance at any time.
