Aether gives you 4 AI media tools — image generation, video generation, background removal, and upscaling — through one API key. What makes it different: it's built as an MCP server. That means Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf can generate images and videos natively — no context switching, no browser tabs, no copy-pasting URLs. You also get a REST API and a web dashboard with usage tracking, API key management, and a credit system with transparent per-tool pricing. 50 free credits on signup.
