OceanToken — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Connects your coding agent to an index of 500+ AI models for media generation, pricing estimates, and delegated sub-tasks.
claude mcp add --transport http mcp https://mcp.oceantoken.ai/mcpWhat OceanToken does
This server exposes an endpoint to query external AI models directly from your development workspace. Agents can trigger text-to-image workflows, produce voice narration, transcribe audio clips into SRT or VTT subtitles, and assemble video clips from initial frames.
The tool suite includes estimate_cost to inspect request prices against your available funds before running a generation. Secondary routines can be handed off to alternate models via ask_model. You need an OceanToken profile with prefunded credits for tool calls to run.
What it helps with
- calculate query cost before dispatching an API call
- generate video and image assets inside the project
- transcribe spoken audio into SRT or VTT caption files
- delegate secondary steps to cheaper external models
Example prompts for the agent
- Estimate the price and generate an image for the hero section using OceanToken
- Transcribe interview.mp3 into VTT subtitles
- Hand off this refactoring sub-task to DeepSeek with ask_model
