When to pick ARA
# ARA — AI generation, from any agent Connect your AI client to **ARA** and generate **images, video and audio** straight from the conversation. One remote connector, zero install — the same gateway works in Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and **ChatGPT**. Once connected, your agent gets these tools: - **generate.image** — text-to-image generation - **generate.video** — text/image-to-video generation - **generate.audio** — speech / music generation - **generation.status** — poll a long-running job and fetch result URLs ## Connect in one click Open [arahub.io/profile/api](https://arahub.io/profile/api), pick your client and follow the one-click flow: - **Cursor / VS Code** — deep-link, installs the connector for you - **Claude Code** — single `claude mcp add` command - **Claude Desktop** — config snippet (auth header pre-filled) - **claude.ai / ChatGPT** — paste the connector URL, click **Authorize** (OAuth) ChatGPT and claude.ai authorize over OAuth — your ARA token is never pasted by hand; the client runs the flow and you just approve. ## Powered by Sael ARA's gateway is MCP-compatible on the surface, but composes work over the **Sael** streaming protocol underneath — so fan-out generations and long jobs stream back efficiently. Agents speak plain MCP; the speed comes for free. ## Pricing Usage runs on ARA credits — a free tier to start, top up as you go. Auth is per-account, so generations and credit spend are tied to your own ARA balance.
