Try it with no API key

Paste one URL into Claude or Codex and start generating images and video. No account, no key, no credit card.

The only thing you need

https://agent.livepeer.org/api/mcp

Add it

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livepeer-agent https://agent.livepeer.org/api/mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / Codex — in your MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livepeer-agent": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://agent.livepeer.org/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

No headers block. No Authorization. That's the whole setup.

Then just ask

Restart your client and try:

A watercolor sunset over Tokyo.

You'll get a real image back in a few seconds, generated on the Livepeer GPU network. Other things that work straight away:

“A 4-scene story about two bears catching salmon, Ghibli style.”
“Animate this image.” — paste an image URL
“What models can you use, and what do they cost?”

What the free demo includes

One number: about $10 of demo credit, spendable over 7 days at each model's real price. Nothing is counted or clamped — every model and every tool is available, and what differs is only how much of the balance a render uses.

Thing	Free demo
Images	Any image model. Roughly $0.003–$0.06 each
Video	Any video model. Roughly $0.20–$2 a clip, so plan on a handful
Multi-scene stories	Any length the balance covers
Browsing models & pricing	Free — discovery calls never draw down credit

The balance is per network address and refreshes on a rolling 7-day window. Renders come back with a note showing what each one cost and what's left, so nothing is hidden. Ask “what models can you use, and what do they cost?” before an expensive one.

To raise the balance, verify your email — the agent will offer to send a one-time activation code, and an operator can grant extra credit against that address. When the credit runs out, the agent tells you and points you to a key. Grab one free at app.daydream.live, then add it as a header — see the full setup guide. Everything else stays the same; the key just replaces the demo balance with your own account.

If nothing shows up

Symptom	Fix
No tools appear	Restart the client fully — most only read MCP config at startup.
“Demo credits spent”	The balance — not the tool — ran out. Verify your email to raise it, or add a key.
Credit went faster than expected	The balance is shared per network address (shared office / VPN networks drain it faster), and video costs 10–100× an image. Ask for the price before a big render.
