Create AI-generated images, videos, music tracks, and sound effects using multiple models. Upscale images to 4K and videos to 1080p or 4K. Share creations to a public community feed. Requires a BudgetPixel account and credits.

Example request: "Generate a 10-second video of a sunset over mountains and upscale it to 1080p."

How to connect: Not in Muse's Connectors list yet, but Muse can still use it. Paste this into Muse: "Use BudgetPixel to help me. It is a free service with an MCP server at https://mcp.budgetpixel.com/mcp. It does not need an API key. Ask me before you share anything with it." Muse asks before it shares anything with the app's site. Meta does not review apps used this way, so only use ones you trust. We tested this in the Muse app on September 24, 2026: Muse used an app's link directly this way and returned a live answer.

Tools:
- generate_image: Use this to create or edit an AI image. Text-to-image from a prompt, OR image-to-image / editing / multi-reference by passing input_images (URLs, data URIs, or base64) — e.g. edit or restyle an image the user just generated by passing its URL. Input support is per-model: some tak
- generate_video: Use this to create or edit an AI video. Text-to-video from a prompt; image-to-video by passing image (start frame, + optional end_image); reference-to-video by passing reference_images; or video-to-video editing by passing video (an input video URL — upload local files with uploa
- generate_music: Use this to create an AI music track (full songs with vocals, or instrumentals). Three models: music-3.0 (default, 200 credits — songs from a prompt and/or lyrics, lyrics optimizer on by default so a prompt alone works), mureka-v9 (60 credits — sings the user's EXACT lyrics verba
- generate_sound_effect: Use this to create sound effects (NOT music). TEXT mode: describe the sound — Foley, ambience, UI sounds, whooshes/transitions, impacts, action sounds — with sonilo-sfx: 1–180 seconds, mp3 or wav, PRICED PER SECOND of the requested duration (5 credits/s, 3-second minimum → 5 s = 
- upscale_image: Use this to upscale an image to a higher resolution. Default model p-image-upscale (Pruna AI) returns results in seconds and is priced by the target resolution: 4 MP = 10, 8 MP = 15, 16 MP = 30, 32 MP = 60 credits. Alternative clarity-upscaler does creative detail enhancement (st
- upscale_video: Use this to upscale a video to 1080p or 4K (30 or 60 fps) with Topaz Labs professional-grade AI. Priced per second of the INPUT video: 1080p = 15 (30fps) / 30 (60fps) credits/s, 4K = 60 / 120 credits/s — so a 10s clip to 1080p30 costs 150 credits; confirm cost with the user for 4
- check_generation_status: Use this after calling generate_image, generate_video, generate_music, or generate_sound_effect to poll for results. Pass a job_id to check a specific job — numeric = image, uuid = video, and for MUSIC / SOUND-EFFECT jobs also pass type "music" / "sound_effect" (their ids are num
- get_credit_balance: Use this when the user asks about their remaining credits, subscription plan, or usage. Returns monthly credit balance, extra credits, total available, and plan name.
- list_models: List the AI image, video, music, and sound-effect models available on BudgetPixel with base credit prices and capabilities. Featured models come first with a one-line role hint (when to pick each). Video models are priced per SECOND by resolution; music models are flat per track;
- search_stock_images: Use this when the user needs an existing stock photo, illustration, background, wallpaper or texture — for a website, slide, blog post, app, video or design — rather than a newly generated image. Searches BudgetPixel's free image library: AI-generated images, each reviewed before
- get_generation_history: Get the user's recent generations made through this connector or the developer API — images by default, or pass type "video", "music", or "sound_effect". Outputs are kept for about 24 hours (they are never saved to the user's asset storage unless save_to_assets is called), so row
- save_to_assets: Keep a generation permanently. Outputs made through this connector expire about 24 hours after generation and are NOT stored in the user's BudgetPixel assets by default. Call this when the user wants to keep, reuse later, or find a result in their gallery / workshops — it copies 
- upload_media: Upload a local image, video, or audio file to BudgetPixel and get back a short-lived URL (valid ~24h) to use as a generation input: pass it as an input_images value on generate_image, or as image / end_image / reference_images / video / audio on generate_video. Use this when the 
- create_social_post: Publish a post to the user's PUBLIC BudgetPixel community feed — visible to everyone and labeled "via MCP". ONLY use this when the user EXPLICITLY asks to post/share/publish; never post proactively. Costs 10 credits per post (anti-spam, charged on publish — same as the developer
