What it is
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.
