Rostro

Rostro is an MCP server that provides generative media capabilities to large language models, enabling them to create images, audio, and video on demand. Designed to minimize context bloat while expanding toolsets, it connects AI applications directly to Rostro's remote generation endpoints. Software developers, creative technologists, and digital content creators use this server to automate asset generation workflows directly inside their coding and chat environments. By invoking standardized tools, host models can synthesize visual assets according to prompt parameters, compose music tracks specifying duration or genre, and produce video clips from text instructions. The server runs as a remote HTTP endpoint accessible via standard Model Context Protocol clients, supporting both OAuth authentication and persistent API key configurations to streamline media generation tasks.

How to install and configure Rostro

1. Obtain an account or API key from the Rostro account dashboard. 2. For Claude Desktop or Claude.ai, navigate to Settings > Connectors, choose "Add Custom Connector", set the Name to "Rostro", enter https://proto.rostro.dev/mcp as the URL, and follow the OAuth login flow. 3. For Claude Code, run the command: claude mcp add rostro -t http https://proto.rostro.dev/mcp. 4. For Cursor, LM Studio, or clients using API key authentication, configure the server in your MCP settings with the URL https://proto.rostro.dev/mcp and include the header "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>". 5. Save the configuration and restart your client to enable the generative media tools.

What you can do with Rostro

• Creating custom images on demand by passing text prompts, size constraints, and stylistic preferences to the generate_image tool. - Composing original background music and audio tracks using text descriptions, genre identifiers, and duration parameters via generate_music. - Generating short video clips directly inside chat interfaces using natural language descriptions with the generate_video tool. - Automating creative media workflows within code editors like Cursor without context-heavy external scripts or switching desktop windows.

How do I install Rostro?

You can connect Rostro as a remote MCP server using the URL https://proto.rostro.dev/mcp. In Claude Desktop, add it under Connectors and authenticate via OAuth. In Claude Code, install it via the terminal using the claude mcp add command. In Cursor or LM Studio, install it using the provided quick-install configurations and add your API key.

What can Rostro do?

Rostro allows language models to generate media assets through Model Context Protocol tools. It exposes tools such as generate_image for creating visual artwork, generate_music for producing audio tracks with custom genres and durations, and generate_video for synthesizing video clips from text prompts.

Which MCP clients work with Rostro?

Rostro is compatible with Claude Desktop, Claude.ai connectors, Claude Code, Cursor, LM Studio, and any standard MCP client that supports remote HTTP transport endpoints and Bearer token authentication.

Does Rostro require an account or API key?

Yes, using Rostro requires a Rostro account. Clients supporting OAuth can authenticate automatically during connection setup, while other clients require an API key generated from the Rostro account page and passed in an Authorization header.
