About OceanToken
OceanToken is an MCP server and plugin for coding agents that provides access to a catalog of AI models and media generation tools. Agents can compare models and costs, generate or transcribe media, and delegate tasks across models.
Key features
- 01Search models and inspect capabilities
- 02Estimate request costs
- 03Generate and edit images
- 04Create video and speech
- 05Transcribe audio and subtitles
- 06Delegate tasks to other models
Use cases
- 01Compare model pricing before a request
- 02Create project images or video
- 03Generate narration and subtitles
- 04Ask another model for a second opinion
MCP support
Exposes model discovery, pricing, generation, transcription, file upload, and account tools to MCP clients. The remote server supports streamable HTTP and OAuth, with API-key authentication also available.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.
https://mcp.oceantoken.ai/mcpclaude mcp add --transport http ai-oceantoken https://mcp.oceantoken.ai/mcp{"mcpServers":{"ai-oceantoken":{"type":"http","url":"https://mcp.oceantoken.ai/mcp"}}}Open in Cursor{"servers":{"ai-oceantoken":{"type":"http","url":"https://mcp.oceantoken.ai/mcp"}}}Open in VS Code{"mcpServers":{"ai-oceantoken":{"type":"http","url":"https://mcp.oceantoken.ai/mcp"}}}{"mcpServers":{"ai-oceantoken":{"serverUrl":"https://mcp.oceantoken.ai/mcp"}}}Run commands in a terminal; paste JSON into the client’s MCP config and restart. Servers that need sign-in will prompt on first connect.

OceanToken plugins for coding agents
OceanToken is one account for 500+ AI models: GPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek and Qwen for text; GPT Image, Seedream, Recraft and Gemini for images; Seedance, Veo, Sora and Wan for video; plus text-to-speech and transcription. This plugin brings all of it into your coding agent: one command connects Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenClaw, OpenCode, VS Code, WorkBuddy, Hermes Agent and Windsurf, and any other MCP client can add the server by hand. Your agent can find a model, check what it costs, generate the asset, and save it into your project.
What your agent gets
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
search_models | Search the catalog by name, type, publisher, capability and price. |
get_model | Pricing, limits, and the sizes, durations and inputs a model accepts. |
estimate_cost | What a request will cost before it runs, and whether your balance covers it. |
generate_image | Text-to-image and image edits, with previews and download links. |
create_video + get_job | Video from text, from a first (and last) frame, or from reference media. |
generate_speech | Voice-overs and narration. |
transcribe_audio | Transcripts and SRT/VTT subtitles. |
ask_model | Hand a sub-task to another model: a cheaper one, or a second opinion. |
upload_file | Use local files as references. |
get_account | Balance, available balance and spend. |
Three skills teach the agent how to use them well:
oceantoken-media: produce images, video and audio for a project.oceantoken-models: choose, price and delegate.oceantoken-setup: run Codex or Claude Code itself on OceanToken, or wire up your app.
The same plugin folder carries manifests for each host (.codex-plugin, .claude-plugin,
.cursor-plugin, and the open Agent Plugins plugin.json), so
every host gets the same tools and skills.
Install
You need an OceanToken account (sign up) with some credit.
One command, any agent
Ask your agent:
Install OceanToken for me by following https://mcp.oceantoken.ai/install
or run it yourself:
npx -y @oceantoken/cli@latest connect <client>
<client> is one of codex, claude-code, cursor, gemini, openclaw, opencode, vscode,
workbuddy, hermes or windsurf. It installs the plugin or MCP entry and the three skills
(Windsurf / Devin Desktop has no skills folder, so it gets the server only), and starts the
sign-in. See cli/ for options (API keys, dry run, disconnect, and use to run Codex or
Claude Code itself on OceanToken models) and the guide
for a walkthrough. The sections below do the same by hand.
Codex
codex plugin marketplace add OceanTokenAI/oceantoken-plugins
codex plugin add oceantoken@oceantoken
codex mcp login oceantoken # opens the OceanToken sign-in page
In the Codex app you can also add the marketplace, then install OceanToken from the Plugins panel and sign in when asked.
Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add OceanTokenAI/oceantoken-plugins
/plugin install oceantoken@oceantoken
/mcp # pick "plugin:oceantoken:oceantoken" and authenticate
Cursor
The button adds the MCP server; Cursor asks you to sign in the first time a tool runs. To get the
skills as well, install the plugin from this repository (it has a .cursor-plugin marketplace
manifest).
Gemini CLI
gemini extensions install https://github.com/OceanTokenAI/oceantoken-plugins
Then, inside Gemini CLI, run /mcp auth oceantoken and sign in. The extension brings the MCP
server, the three skills and a short GEMINI.md.
OpenClaw
openclaw plugins install clawhub:@oceantoken/oceantoken --accept-capabilities
openclaw mcp set oceantoken '{"url":"https://mcp.oceantoken.ai/mcp","transport":"streamable-http","auth":"oauth"}'
openclaw mcp login oceantoken
The ClawHub package brings the three skills
(also on ClawHub on their own: oceantoken-media, oceantoken-models, oceantoken-setup). The
mcp set entry registers the server with OpenClaw so mcp login can sign you in; it replaces the
plugin's own unauthenticated entry of the same name.
Any other MCP client
OceanToken is in the official MCP Registry as
ai.oceantoken/mcp, so clients that browse the registry (VS Code and GitHub Copilot, for
example) can find it by name.
The server is https://mcp.oceantoken.ai/mcp (streamable HTTP). It supports OAuth with dynamic
client registration, so most clients just need the URL. To use an API key instead, send it as a
bearer token:
# Codex, without the plugin
export OCEANTOKEN_API_KEY=sk-...
codex mcp add oceantoken --url https://mcp.oceantoken.ai/mcp --bearer-token-env-var OCEANTOKEN_API_KEY
# Claude Code, without the plugin. The single quotes keep the key off the command line:
# Claude Code reads OCEANTOKEN_API_KEY from its environment when it starts.
claude mcp add --transport http oceantoken https://mcp.oceantoken.ai/mcp \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer ${OCEANTOKEN_API_KEY}'
{
"mcpServers": {
"oceantoken": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.oceantoken.ai/mcp" }
}
}
Muse Code (Meta)
Add the server to the mcp_servers block of your Muse Code settings, then sign in:
{
"mcp_servers": {
"oceantoken": { "transport": "streamable_http", "url": "https://mcp.oceantoken.ai/mcp" }
}
}
muse mcp login oceantoken
Muse Code also reads skills from ~/.agents/skills: copy the folders in
plugins/oceantoken/skills/ there to get the OceanToken workflows.
Make your agent reach for OceanToken
Agents choose their own tools. They use OceanToken for anything they cannot do themselves (video, voice-overs, subtitles, models they don't have, cost estimates). For images, Codex also has a built-in generator, so ask for OceanToken by name, or make it a rule:
-
Ask explicitly:
$oceantoken-media ...in Codex,/oceantoken:oceantoken-media ...in Claude Code, or simply "use OceanToken to ...". -
Make it a project rule in
AGENTS.md(Codex) orCLAUDE.md(Claude Code):Generate images, video, voice-overs and subtitles with the OceanToken tools. Estimate the cost first and ask me before spending more than $2. -
Skip approval prompts for the read-only tools in Codex (
~/.codex/config.toml):[plugins."oceantoken@oceantoken".mcp_servers.oceantoken.tools.search_models] approval_mode = "approve" [plugins."oceantoken@oceantoken".mcp_servers.oceantoken.tools.estimate_cost] approval_mode = "approve" [plugins."oceantoken@oceantoken".mcp_servers.oceantoken.tools.get_job] approval_mode = "approve"
Signing in
The sign-in page offers two ways to connect:
- Sign in: your OceanToken email and password. This creates an API key for the connecting app, which you can see and revoke under API keys in the console.
- API key: paste a key you already have. Give it a credit limit if you want a cap for the agent.
Revoking the key disconnects the app immediately.
Costs
You pay the model's usage from your prepaid OceanToken balance, at the prices on the
Models page. Ask your agent for an estimate first
(estimate_cost). Video jobs place a small hold when they start and charge the actual cost when
they finish. Failed jobs are not charged.
Privacy and terms
Prompts and files go to the model you choose, through OceanToken, to produce your result.
Generated files are stored in your OceanToken storage and shared as time-limited links.
Besides the MCP server at https://mcp.oceantoken.ai/mcp, the setup skill calls OceanToken's own API at
https://api.oceantoken.ai with your OCEANTOKEN_API_KEY, only to check the key and to configure your tools
to use it. No other service receives data from this plugin. See the
privacy policy and terms.

Comments
New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
