Runware MCP

Officialby Runwarecreditsverified Aug 24, 2026

Official Runware MCP for image, video, audio, 3D, upscaling, and model search.

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

Unchanged on re-check: MIT, npm @runware/mcp still 1.3.4 from Jul 31 2026, Node >=18, repo last pushed the same day, and the twelve documented tools match what is listed here. README documents Claude Desktop, Cursor and Codex stdio configs but no `claude mcp add` one-liner — the command above is the equivalent. The canonical repo is now github.com/Runware/mcp — the older Runware/MCP-Runware was archived Oct 2025 and should not be used. It is a local stdio package, not a hosted remote MCP, and the repo still sits at zero stars, so treat npm publishes rather than GitHub activity as the health signal; nearly four weeks without a release is the thing to watch here.
