MCP Server for AI Assistants

Our MCP (Model Context Protocol) server enables AI assistants like Claude to generate images and audio directly. Learn more

Configuration

Add this to your MCP client configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pollinations": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@pollinations/model-context-protocol"]
    }
  }
}

Run with npx (no installation required)

npx @pollinations/model-context-protocol

Community alternatives like MCPollinations and Sequa MCP Server are also available.

AI assistants can:

• Generate images from text descriptions
• Create text-to-speech audio with various voice options
• Play audio responses through the system speakers
• Access all pollinations.ai models and services
• List available models, voices, and capabilities

For more advanced usage, check out our API documentation.

🔐 Authentication

Get your API key at enter.pollinations.ai

Key Types

Key	Prefix	Use Case	Rate Limits	Status
Publishable	pk_	Client-side, demos, prototypes	1 pollen per IP per hour	⚠️ Beta
Secret	sk_	Server-side only	No rate limits	Stable

⚠️ Publishable keys: Turnstile protection coming soon. Not recommended for production yet.

⚠️ Never expose sk_ keys in client-side code, git repos, or public URLs

💡 Building an app? Use Bring Your Own Pollen — users pay for their own usage, you pay $0

Model Restrictions

Each API key can be scoped to specific models. When creating a key at enter.pollinations.ai, you can:

• Allow all models — key works with any available model
• Restrict to specific models — select exactly which models the key can access (e.g., only flux and openai, or just gptimage-large)

Usage

curl 'https://gen.pollinations.ai/image/a%20cat?key=YOUR_KEY'

Environment variable (best practice):

export POLLINATIONS_API_KEY=sk_...

See full API docs for detailed authentication information.

🎨 Examples

Image Generation

Here's an example of a generated image:

Python code to download the generated image:

import requests

def download_image(prompt):
    url = f"https://pollinations.ai/p/{prompt}"
    response = requests.get(url)
    with open('generated_image.jpg', 'wb') as file:
        file.write(response.content)
    print('Image downloaded!')

download_image("conceptual_isometric_world_of_pollinations_ai_surreal_hyperrealistic_digital_garden")

Text Generation

To generate text:

https://gen.pollinations.ai/text/What%20is%20artificial%20intelligence?

Audio Generation

Generate speech from text:

https://gen.pollinations.ai/audio/Hello%20from%20Pollinations?voice=alloy&key=YOUR_API_KEY

Or use the OpenAI TTS-compatible endpoint:

curl 'https://gen.pollinations.ai/v1/audio/speech' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
  -d '{"model": "tts-1", "input": "Hello from Pollinations!", "voice": "alloy"}' \
