# Claude Imagine

> Independent AI image and video generation for Claude users. Claude cannot render images or videos on its own; Claude Imagine adds it on the web and inside Claude through a remote MCP server, plus an API-key endpoint for images. One credit balance covers the web generators, MCP and the API. Not affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by Anthropic.
