EmpirioLabs AI

EmpirioLabs AI MCP server

Remote Model Context Protocol server for EmpirioLabs AI. Run AI models, image, video and speech generation, web search, batch jobs, GPU Cloud and hosted agents as tools with your EmpirioLabs AI account. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install.

Server URL	https://mcp.empiriolabs.ai/mcp (Streamable HTTP)
Authentication	OAuth 2.1 (sign in with your EmpirioLabs account) or an EmpirioLabs API key as a bearer token
Registry name	ai.empiriolabs/mcp in the official MCP Registry, version 1.2.0
Documentation	https://docs.empiriolabs.ai/mcp
Support	[email protected]

Every model and feature EmpirioLabs adds is available here as it launches, at the same final prices and limits as the API. Connections use your prepaid credits, and you can disconnect any app under Settings in the dashboard.

Connect

Claude (web, desktop, mobile)

1. Open Settings, then Connectors, and choose Add custom connector.
2. Enter https://mcp.empiriolabs.ai/mcp as the URL. Leave the OAuth client fields empty.
3. Click Connect, sign in to EmpirioLabs, review the request, and choose Allow access.

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http empiriolabs https://mcp.empiriolabs.ai/mcp

Run /mcp inside Claude Code to complete the sign-in the first time. The repository is also a Claude Code plugin (.claude-plugin/plugin.json), so it can be installed from a plugin marketplace.

ChatGPT

1. Open EmpirioLabs AI in the ChatGPT Plugins directory and install it.
2. Sign in to EmpirioLabs, review the request, and choose Allow access.
3. In a chat, type @ and choose EmpirioLabs AI.

You can also add the server yourself: open Settings, then Plugins, and turn on Developer mode. Then, on the Plugins page, choose Add plugin, then Create app, and enter https://mcp.empiriolabs.ai/mcp as the server URL with OAuth authentication. The server also provides the search and fetch tools ChatGPT uses for connectors, so it works in chat and in deep research.

Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Cline and other editors

Remote servers are configured with a URL. Sign in through OAuth when the editor prompts, or add an API key header:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "empiriolabs": {
      "url": "https://mcp.empiriolabs.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sk-empiriolabs-your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code reads the same shape from .vscode/mcp.json with a servers key and "type": "http". Codex CLI: codex mcp add empiriolabs --url https://mcp.empiriolabs.ai/mcp. Gemini CLI and Windsurf accept the JSON block above in their MCP settings. Cline: see llms-install.md.

GitHub Copilot CLI

copilot plugin marketplace add EmpirioLabs-AI/mcp
copilot plugin install empiriolabs-ai@empiriolabs

The plugin adds the server as empiriolabs. Sign in when Copilot CLI asks, and run /mcp auth empiriolabs to sign in again or switch accounts. To use an API key instead of the plugin, add the server yourself:

copilot mcp add --transport http --header "Authorization: Bearer sk-empiriolabs-your_key_here" empiriolabs https://mcp.empiriolabs.ai/mcp

Google Antigravity

Antigravity names the endpoint field serverUrl, not url. Put this in ~/.gemini/config/mcp_config.json, or in plugins/<name>/mcp_config.json to ship it with a plugin:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "empiriolabs": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.empiriolabs.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sk-empiriolabs-your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

A server that fails to connect is silently absent from Antigravity's tool list rather than reported as an error, so check the key first if the tools do not appear.

Grok, Perplexity, Le Chat and Gemini

These assistants take the server as a custom connector; paste https://mcp.empiriolabs.ai/mcp and sign in when asked.

• Grok: open grok.com/connectors, choose New Connector, then Custom, and enter the URL.
• Perplexity: open Settings, then Connectors, choose Custom connector, then Remote, enter the URL with the Streamable HTTP transport and OAuth 2.0.
• Le Chat: open Connectors, choose Add Connector, then the Custom MCP Connector tab, give it a name and enter the URL.
• Gemini: open Settings & help, then Connected Apps, and add a custom app with the URL.

Any HTTP client

The server speaks JSON-RPC over POST https://mcp.empiriolabs.ai/mcp. Send Authorization: Bearer <API key or OAuth access token> and Accept: application/json, text/event-stream on every request.

curl "https://mcp.empiriolabs.ai/mcp" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $EMPIRIOLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"list_models","arguments":{"modality":"image","limit":5}}}'

Profiles

Profiles expose a subset of toolsets at a shorter URL:

URL	Toolsets
https://mcp.empiriolabs.ai/mcp	all

Access and privacy

• Read-only tools (catalog, jobs, usage) use no credits. Tools that run models, searches, agent tasks, batches or infrastructure use the prepaid credits of the connected account.
• OAuth connections are listed under Settings > Connected applications in the dashboard, where Disconnect ends access right away.
• Privacy policy and terms of service.

About this repository

This repository holds the public listing material for the hosted server: the registry server.json, the LobeHub and Claude plugin manifests, the icons, and the install notes. Every file that describes the tool surface is generated from the server's own definition, so it always matches what https://mcp.empiriolabs.ai/mcp serves. The server itself is operated by EmpirioLabs.ai LLC.
