Replicate MCP Server

A universal, cross-platform MCP server that gives any MCP client - Claude Desktop, the claude.ai web app (Connectors), Cursor, Cline / Continue in VS Code, or your own application - native access to the full Replicate catalog: image generation, video, music, speech, upscaling, segmentation, LLMs, voice cloning, 3D, lipsync - anything Replicate hosts.

People who work with Replicate and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.
