Why treg.to

Why call PiAPI through treg.to

Your account, held safely

Connect once; treg.to keeps the credential server-side and injects it per call. No key on any machine.

Price before the call

The provider's own rate, $0.000 markup. How billing works.

Account billing

Calls through your own connection are not metered by treg.

Your own PiAPI key is free

Switch by changing a word

Another provider is a different word in the prompt, not a new integration.

One key, the whole catalog

The same token calls Google AI (Gemini API), OpenRouter, reAPI and 3,611 other tools.

All 6 PiAPI tools

Image generation · 3 tools

Google: Gemini 3 Pro Image (Nano Banana Pro) · BYOK only · live-verified · No treg charge; upstream $0.105-$0.181/success
Generate or edit an image with Gemini 3 Pro Image at 1K, 2K or 4K from a prompt and up to 14 reference images. piapi.image-gen.gemini-3-pro-image
One image per task. Live 2026-09-14: a 1K image consumed 1,050,000 points ($0.105); 2K and 4K are documented only.
OpenAI: GPT Image 2 · BYOK only · live-verified · No treg charge; upstream $0.0064-$0.169/success
Generate images with GPT Image 2 (medium quality only) through PiAPI's OpenAI-shaped async route. piapi.image-gen.gpt-image-2
Token-metered upstream ($30 per 1M output tokens, passed through at cost); medium is the only quality. Cells are the points PiAPI consumed live on 2026-09-14 (63,450 for 1024x1024; 420,350 for either non-square size, at 10,000,000 points per dollar), rounded up. The docs' ~$0.032 figure for a square image was not what the meter charged.
OpenAI: GPT Image 2.5 (Flare / Sunburst) · BYOK only · live-verified · No treg charge; upstream $0.0051-$0.161/success
Generate images with GPT Image 2.5 through PiAPI's OpenAI-shaped async route, metered by quality and size. piapi.image-gen.gpt-image-2-5
Token-metered upstream (OpenAI's $3.75 / $22.50 per 1M input / output tokens, passed through at cost). Cells are the points PiAPI consumed live on 2026-09-14 (50,663 / 105,338 / 401,663 points at 10,000,000 points per dollar for low / medium / high), rounded up to the next hundredth of a cent; Flare and Sunburst meter identically. A very long prompt adds a fraction of a cent the table does not carry.

Video generation · 3 tools

Check a PiAPI task · BYOK only · helper · live-verified · No treg charge; upstream free
Read a task's status (Pending, Processing, Completed, Failed, Staged) and its output URLs. piapi.task.get
Task status checks are free.
ByteDance: Seedance 2.5 · BYOK only · live-verified · No treg charge; upstream $0.75-$24/success
Create a Seedance 2.5 video task from a prompt with optional image, video and audio references (default content filter). piapi.video-gen.seedance-2-5
Billed per second of output at the resolution's rate. Live 2026-09-14: a 5 s 480p clip consumed 7,500,000 points ($0.75, at 10,000,000 points per dollar); 720p and 1080p are documented only.
ByteDance: Seedance 2.5 (Less Restriction) · BYOK only · live-verified · No treg charge; upstream $0.825-$26.4/success
Less Restriction: the same Seedance 2.5 model on PiAPI's relaxed filter, where a real person's face may drive the video; the default row refuses real faces. Face images must first pass the connected account's Private Asset Library review; other references are used as-is. 10% dearer than the default row. piapi.video-gen.seedance-2-5.less-restriction
10% over the default-filter row at every resolution. Live 2026-09-14: a 5 s 480p clip from one reference image consumed 8,250,000 points ($0.825); 720p and 1080p are documented only.

Reliability badges come from live traffic through treg.to. Live-verified means a successful provider check; it does not verify every request variant.

Questions

Before you start

Do I need a PiAPI account?

Yes. This is an own-account connection: you sign in to PiAPI once and your agent uses that connection through your treg.to token. Calls on it are never metered.

How do I add PiAPI to Claude Code?

Run: claude mcp add --transport http treg https://treg.sciatafrica.com/mcp. One MCP server carries PiAPI and the rest of the catalog.

Which frameworks does it work with?

Anything that speaks MCP (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Grok) and anything that can make an HTTP request (LangChain, CrewAI, LlamaIndex, plain code).

Is this the official PiAPI MCP server?

No. treg.to serves PiAPI's real API through its own metered proxy: the request is the provider's own, the credential is injected server-side, and the answer is relayed verbatim. The official PiAPI channels are linked above.
