Replicate Alternative MCP Tools for Cline (12)
These 12 tools become available when you connect Replicate Alternative to Cline via MCP:
cancel_prediction
Provide the prediction ID. The prediction status will change to "canceled". Cancel a running prediction
create_prediction
Requires the model slug in "owner/name" format and an input object matching the model's schema. Optionally specify a version ID and webhook URL. Returns the prediction object with its ID, status (starting, processing, succeeded, failed, canceled) and output. Use get_prediction to check status and retrieve results. Run a model prediction on Replicate
get_account
Returns account type, username and usage info. Use this to verify your API token is working correctly. Get the authenticated Replicate account info
get_collection
Provide the collection slug (e.g. "text-to-image", "large-language-models"). Get details for a specific model collection
get_model
Provide the model slug in "owner/name" format (e.g. "stability-ai/sdxl" or "meta/meta-llama-3-70b-instruct"). Get details for a specific Replicate model
get_model_versions
Each version includes its ID (64-char hash), creation date, input/output schema and cog version. Use this to find the correct version ID when creating predictions for models that require a specific version. Get all versions of a Replicate model
get_prediction
Returns the prediction ID, status (starting, processing, succeeded, failed, canceled), input, output URLs, creation time and logs. Use the prediction ID returned from create_prediction. Get the status and result of a prediction
list_collections
Collections group related models by category (e.g. "text-to-image", "large-language-models", "audio-to-audio", "image-to-video"). Each collection includes its slug, name, description and featured models. List model collections on Replicate
list_hardware
Each hardware option includes its SKU name, pricing and specifications. Useful for choosing the right GPU for your prediction workload. List available GPU hardware on Replicate
list_models
Each model includes its name, owner, description, run count, hardware requirements and cover image URL. Use this to discover available models for running predictions. List available ML models on Replicate
list_predictions
Each prediction includes its ID, model, status, creation time and output URLs. Useful for tracking prediction history and monitoring model usage. List recent predictions on Replicate
search_models
Returns models with their name, owner, description, run count and hardware. Useful for finding specific types of models (e.g. "text-to-image", "llm", "music-generation"). Search for models on Replicate by query
