Replicate MCP server
Endpoint: https://mcp.replicate.com/sse · Authentication: Sign in with OAuth
Searches and compares Replicate models, runs predictions, and fetches prediction results. The hosted server asks for a Replicate API token through its OAuth sign-in flow.
How do I authenticate?
Add the endpoint in your client, start Connect or Sign in, approve the requested scopes, and return to the client. OAuth discovery finds the authorization server; client registration requirements vary by provider. Follow the provider guidance and client setup below.

Live-validated endpoint: https://mcp.replicate.com/sse · Legacy HTTP+SSE. Registration requirements not verified: The OAuth authorization and app-registration requirements for this exact endpoint have not been verified. A compatible client will request authorization, but follow the publisher documentation and do not guess client credentials or callbacks.
Agent prompt for Claude Code or Codex
Add the Replicate MCP server to my MCP client configuration and verify that it works. What it is: Searches and compares Replicate models, runs predictions, and fetches prediction results. The hosted server asks for a Replicate API token through its OAuth sign-in flow. Server URL: https://mcp.replicate.com/sse Transport: Legacy HTTP+SSE (remote MCP server, no local install). Authentication: OAuth 2.1. Registration requirements not verified: The OAuth authorization and app-registration requirements for this exact endpoint have not been verified. A compatible client will request authorization, but follow the publisher documentation and do not guess client credentials or callbacks. Tools: not yet observed by mcptest; tools/list will show them. Reference: https://mcptest.io/servers/replicate/ Steps: 1. Work out which MCP client I use (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code or another) and add the server under the name "replicate" in that client's MCP configuration, user scope unless I ask otherwise. Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport sse --scope user 'replicate' 'https://mcp.replicate.com/sse' Other clients: use the setup for that client on the reference page. 2. Never write a credential value into a file that could be committed; reference an environment variable or the client's secret store, and ask me for any value you need. 3. Verify: connect to the server and call tools/list. Confirm the tools above are listed, and report any sign-in step I still have to complete.
Claude Code setup
Run in a terminal. This user-scoped entry is available across projects.
claude mcp add --transport sse --scope user 'replicate' 'https://mcp.replicate.com/sse'- After adding the server, open Claude Code, run /mcp, select the server, and follow the browser flow to authenticate.
Codex CLI setup
Review the endpoint in the publisher documentation before editing Codex configuration.
Codex CLI supports Streamable HTTP remote servers, not legacy SSE endpoints. Use a publisher-documented Streamable HTTP endpoint if one is available.
Cursor setup
Add to .cursor/mcp.json for this project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for all projects.
{
"mcpServers": {
"replicate": {
"url": "https://mcp.replicate.com/sse"
}
}
}- This URL is a legacy SSE endpoint; Cursor determines the remote transport from the endpoint.
VS Code setup
Add to .vscode/mcp.json, or run “MCP: Open User Configuration” for a private user-level entry.
{
"servers": {
"replicate": {
"type": "sse",
"url": "https://mcp.replicate.com/sse"
}
}
}Claude setup
Add the endpoint above in Claude:
- Customize > Connectors > Add custom connector
- Team/Enterprise: Organization settings > Connectors > Add > Custom > Web
Claude Desktop setup
Add the endpoint above in Claude Desktop:
- Remote: Customize > Connectors (same as claude.ai)
- Local: Settings > Developer > Edit Config, or Settings > Extensions for .mcpb files
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json(macOS) or%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json(Windows), local servers only
ChatGPT setup
Add the endpoint above in ChatGPT:
- ChatGPT web: Plugins > Add custom MCP server, then configure authentication and accept the risk warning
Windsurf setup
Add the endpoint above in Windsurf:
~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json(%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.jsonon Windows),serverUrlorurl- Cascade panel > ... > MCPs > Open MCP config file
Gemini CLI setup
Add the endpoint above in Gemini CLI:
gemini mcp add --transport http <name> <url>~/.gemini/settings.json(user) or.gemini/settings.json(project),mcpServers
MCP SDK setup
Add the endpoint above in MCP SDK:
- Programmatic:
new Client(...).connect(new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(url))

Client compatibility
| Client | Status | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | Partial | Legacy SSE is deprecated: Claude Code can use legacy HTTP+SSE today, but Streamable HTTP is the durable remote transport. |
| Codex | Partial | Codex needs a bridge for legacy SSE servers. Only stdio and Streamable HTTP are documented; legacy SSE servers need a stdio bridge such as the community mcp-remote package. Legacy SSE is deprecated: Codex CLI can use legacy HTTP+SSE today, but Streamable HTTP is the durable remote transport. |
| Cursor | Partial | Legacy SSE is deprecated: Cursor can use legacy HTTP+SSE today, but Streamable HTTP is the durable remote transport. |
| VS Code | Partial | Legacy SSE is deprecated: VS Code/Copilot can use legacy HTTP+SSE today, but Streamable HTTP is the durable remote transport. |
| Claude | Partial | Legacy SSE is deprecated: Claude can use legacy HTTP+SSE today, but Streamable HTTP is the durable remote transport. |
| Claude Desktop | Partial | Legacy SSE is deprecated: Claude Desktop can use legacy HTTP+SSE today, but Streamable HTTP is the durable remote transport. |
| ChatGPT | Partial | Legacy SSE is deprecated: ChatGPT can use legacy HTTP+SSE today, but Streamable HTTP is the durable remote transport. |
| Windsurf | Partial | Windsurf's documentation does not state support for OAuth sign-in. Legacy SSE is deprecated: Windsurf (Devin Desktop, Cascade) can use legacy HTTP+SSE today, but Streamable HTTP is the durable remote transport. |
| Gemini CLI | Partial | Legacy SSE is deprecated: Gemini CLI can use legacy HTTP+SSE today, but Streamable HTTP is the durable remote transport. |
| MCP SDK | Partial | Legacy SSE is deprecated: Generic MCP SDK can use legacy HTTP+SSE today, but Streamable HTTP is the durable remote transport. |
Computed from this server's validated transport, protocol and authentication against documented client support. Checks the catalog has not observed are not counted.

Tool inventory
The catalog validator lists tools only on servers that answer without credentials. Replicate asks for OAuth 2.1 sign-in first, so its tools, resources and prompts were not observed. Connect in the Playground with your own credentials to list them.
