Why Fluxpool for visual AI

🎨

Visual-first, not text-first

OpenRouter is built for LLM routing. Fluxpool is built for visual generation: curated image and video models, a visual playground, and per-image and per-video credit pricing.

🎬

Video generation included

Generate video with Seedance 2.5, Wan 3.0, Wan Video 2.7, and Runway Gen4.5 — all through the same API. Seedance 2.5 adds Reference, Extend, Edit, and First & Last modes. If your pipeline needs both image and video, Fluxpool is the single integration point.

🧩

Works inside Claude

Add Fluxpool to Claude, or any app that takes an MCP connector by URL, with no API key. Set a daily credit limit per connection, or pause it, in Connected apps. Set up →

Two ways in. API or MCP.

Call the OpenAI-compatible API from code, or add Fluxpool to Claude as a connector.

Fluxpool in Claude (MCP connector)
# Add a custom MCP connector with this URL:
https://mcp.fluxpool.ai/mcp

# Then sign in to Fluxpool (OAuth).
# No API key to copy or paste.

# Agent without a browser? Sign in with
# a short code at app.fluxpool.ai/verify

# Output: images and videos, generated
# from your conversation
Fluxpool (image generation)
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.fluxpool.ai/v1",
    api_key="fp_your_api_key"
)

response = client.images.generate(
    model="flux-2-pro",
    prompt="A dragon on a neon-lit Tokyo rooftop, 8K",
    size="1024x1024"
)

print(response.data[0].url)
# Output: image URL

Same account and credit balance either way.
