EmpirioLabs AI — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Remote MCP server that connects coding assistants to EmpirioLabs AI models, media generators, web search, and cloud GPUs over HTTP without local package installation.
claude mcp add --transport http mcp https://mcp.empiriolabs.ai/mcpWhat EmpirioLabs AI does
The server exposes 83 tools divided across 10 functional toolsets to your coding assistant. Agents can query LLMs, create images, speech or 3D files, execute live web research, and track asynchronous batch jobs. Because everything runs over streamable HTTP at https://mcp.empiriolabs.ai/mcp, local scripts are unnecessary.
Authentication uses OAuth 2.1 or an API key passed as a bearer token. To keep context windows focused, you can target specific subsets through profile paths such as /inference or /media, or combine modules with plus signs like /models+text+jobs.
Inference and media tasks consume your prepaid platform credits, while GPU infrastructure is billed separately. Missing credentials or an empty balance will block tool execution immediately.
What it helps with
- generate media assets directly from editor prompts
- perform live web searches with grounded source citations
- provision and manage GPU Cloud instances and storage volumes
- inspect catalog pricing and capabilities across available AI models
Example prompts for the agent
- Check the EmpirioLabs catalog for the most cost-effective text reranking model.
- Generate a concept illustration of a futuristic control room and return the file.
- Search the web for solid-state battery benchmarks and cite all sources.
