Three keys, and why setup fails

Most guides assume every client uses the same JSON. They do not, and copying the wrong key fails silently rather than erroring.

Clients that cannot run imagic

Worth stating plainly rather than letting you find out after installing:

ChatGPT ChatGPT connects only to remote MCP servers over SSE or streaming HTTP. OpenAI's own help centre answers the question directly: you cannot connect it… use Codex CLI instead →
Perplexity Perplexity supports local MCP servers only in the macOS app from the Mac App Store, for paid subscribers, and only after installing its PerplexityXPC… use Claude Desktop instead →

Everything is included in the trial

The free 7-day trial unlocks imagic Max, the MCP server and all 18 tools. No card required.
