Replicate MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server implementation for Replicate. Run Replicate models through a simple tool-based interface.

Quickstart

  1. Install the server:
1npm install -g mcp-replicate

  1. Get your Replicate API token:

  2. Configure Claude Desktop:

    • Open Claude Desktop Settings (⌘,)
    • Select the "Developer" section in the sidebar
    • Click "Edit Config" to open the configuration file
    • Add the following configuration, replacing your_token_here with your actual Replicate API token:
1{
2  "mcpServers": {
3    "replicate": {
4      "command": "mcp-replicate",
5      "env": {
6        "REPLICATE_API_TOKEN": "your_token_here"
7      }
8    }
9  }
10}
  1. Start Claude Desktop. You should see a 🔨 hammer icon in the bottom right corner of new chat windows, indicating the tools are available.

(You can also use any other MCP client, such as Cursor, Cline, or Continue.)

Configuration

The server needs a Replicate API token to work. You can get one at Replicate.

There are two ways to provide the token:

1. In Claude Desktop Config (Recommended)

Add it to your Claude Desktop configuration as shown in the Quickstart section:

1{
2  "mcpServers": {
3    "replicate": {
4      "command": "mcp-replicate",
5      "env": {
6        "REPLICATE_API_TOKEN": "your_token_here"
7      }
8    }
9  }
10}

2. As Environment Variable

Alternatively, you can set it as an environment variable if you're using another MCP client:

1export REPLICATE_API_TOKEN=your_token_here
