12 image models (Nano Banana, GPT Image, FLUX…) and 10 tools in chat. No API keys. Pay per image.
MCP Server: io.github.paablobello/tastepix
The io.github.paablobello/tastepix MCP server generates and edits images with top models (e.g., Nano Banana, GPT Image, FLUX) directly in chat. It supports image creation and modification workflows and uses a pay-per-image model for usage.
Every image model, right in your chat.
A hosted MCP server that adds image generation and editing to Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor and Codex.
12 top models, background removal, upscaling and image-to-video. Pay per image, no subscription.
Tastepix is a remote MCP server (Model Context Protocol). Connect it once to your AI app, then
ask for images in plain language: "make a vintage travel poster for a seaside town", "remove the
background", "upscale it 4×", "animate this". The assistant picks the model, the image appears
inline in the chat with download, reference and edit actions, and everything you make lands in one
gallery at tastepix.com.
No API keys. Sign in with Google or email; Tastepix handles the providers.
Many models, one account. Ask for a model by name or let the assistant choose.
Works where you already work. Claude (web, desktop, mobile), ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex.
Pay per image. Prepaid balance, no subscription, balance never expires, failed generations are refunded automatically. New accounts get a small free credit.

FAQ
Do I need API keys from OpenAI, Google, etc.? No. One Tastepix account covers every model.
Can Claude generate images on its own? Claude doesn't generate images natively; Tastepix adds that through MCP, inline in the chat.
Is there a subscription? No. You add funds when you want and pay per image. New accounts get a small free credit to try it.
What happens if a generation fails? It's refunded to your balance automatically.
Where do my images go? They're shown in the chat and saved to your private gallery at tastepix.com, from every app you use. You can delete them, or your whole account, from the dashboard.
