Media Gen MCP

Media Gen MCP is a strict TypeScript Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for OpenAI Images (gpt-image-1.5, gpt-image-1), OpenAI Videos (Sora), and Google GenAI Videos (Veo): generate/edit images, create/remix video jobs, and fetch media from URLs or disk with smart resource_link vs inline image outputs and optional sharp processing. Production-focused (full strict typecheck, ESLint + Vitest CI). Works with…

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

Claude Code

claude mcp add strato-space-media-gen-mcp -- npx -y @strato-space/media-gen-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "strato-space-media-gen-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@strato-space/media-gen-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
