MCP Server

Pipe2.ai exposes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets AI assistants — like Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT, and others — interact with your pipelines directly through natural language.

Tip

MCP is an open standard created by Anthropic that enables AI models to securely connect to external tools and data sources. Think of it as a universal adapter between AI assistants and your services.

What Can You Do?

With the Pipe2.ai MCP server, AI assistants can:

Run Pipelines

Generate AI videos and images by describing what you want in natural language. The assistant handles file uploads, pipeline selection, and parameter configuration.

Check Status

Monitor pipeline runs with real-time status updates. Get notified when your generation completes or if something goes wrong.

Manage Assets

Browse, filter, and retrieve your generated assets — images, videos, and audio files — all through conversation.

Track Credits

Check your credit balance and transaction history without leaving your AI assistant.

Architecture

The MCP server runs as a dedicated service and communicates with Pipe2.ai’s backend:

AI Assistant (Claude, Cursor, etc.)
    ↓ MCP Protocol (HTTP)
Pipe2.ai MCP Server
    ↓
Pipe2.ai Backend API

Transport modes:

• Streamable HTTP (/mcp) — primary transport, recommended for most clients
• Stdio (--stdio flag) — for CLI integrations like claude mcp add

Key Features

• Dynamic pipeline tools — one tool per active pipeline, auto-generated from the database schema
• Real-time notifications — WebSocket subscriptions push pipeline status updates to your assistant
• OAuth 2.1 authentication — secure access with personal access tokens as an alternative

Install from a directory

The Pipe2.ai server is listed publicly, so clients that install MCP servers for you can find it without any hand-written config.

Official MCP registry Our entry as ai.pipe2/mcp, the source most other directories mirror

Both point at the same server described above. Connecting directly with the URL in Setup works identically and keeps the OAuth flow between you and Pipe2.ai.
