Connect through MCP

The MCP server gives an AI agent the API as tools, with the same key, balance and rules.

https://mcp.nocamclub.com/mcp

It speaks Streamable HTTP and signs you in with your API key. Use a separate key with a spend limit for each agent, so a mistake has a ceiling: see Authentication. Try it with a nc_test_… key first: it spends nothing.

Point it at the address above and send Authorization: Bearer <your key>.

claude.ai and ChatGPT sign in with OAuth rather than a key, and that isn't available yet.

Try itCopy Anchor Link

Ask your agent:

Check my NoCam balance, then make a photo of a red bicycle against a white wall with the cheapest model on sale, and show me the link.

How the tools behaveCopy Anchor Link

• Photos and text come back in the answer, usually. The tool waits up to 60 seconds.
• Videos return at once with an id, because they take minutes. The agent checks with get_generation, and shouldn't call generate again.
• Results are links. A resource_link comes along with the JSON.
• Repeating a call doesn't pay twice. The same generate within 10 minutes returns the same generation, unless that one failed or was deleted. run_again: true makes another on purpose.
• Problems come back as a result the model can read, with the same code, hint and docs_url as REST, so the agent can fix them itself.
• Local files. upload_media takes an address or base64 up to 4 MB. For bigger files, create_upload gives a ready curl command.
