Runware MCP

What it does

Runware's official npm MCP package gives agents access to the Runware API: image generation, video generation, audio generation, 3D, upscaling, background removal, captioning, model discovery, pricing, task lookup, and account balance. It also searches the community catalog, so an agent can pull a Civitai fine-tune or a custom upload into a shot. For filmmaker-agents it is a broad media workbench, especially useful when a prompt needs model search plus schema validation before spending credits.

Field notes

MIT, npm @runware/mcp still 1.3.4 from Jul 31 2026, Node >=18, zero stars. The repo was pushed Sep 4 2026 with a v1.3.5 tag that only bumps dependencies and the lockfile — and that version was never published to npm, so `npx -y @runware/mcp` still resolves 1.3.4. README is unchanged and still documents only stdio configs for Claude Desktop, Cursor and Codex; there is no `claude mcp add` one-liner (the command above is the equivalent) and no hosted remote. The canonical repo is github.com/Runware/mcp — the older Runware/MCP-Runware was archived Oct 2025 and should not be used. Two months without a functional release: treat npm publishes rather than GitHub activity as the health signal, and check model_schema before trusting the tool descriptions on newer Runware models.
