Overview

The AKOOL plugin brings AKOOL’s image, video, talking avatar, voiceover and face swap tools into ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code and Codex. You connect by signing in with your AKOOL account, so you don’t need AKOOL API credentials. Requirements:
  • An AKOOL Pro Max, Business or Enterprise plan. Generations use your AKOOL credits.
  • ChatGPT, Claude (web or desktop app), Claude Code or Codex.
For one-click buttons, see akool.com/plugin.

Tips

  • Name AKOOL in your request (for example “use AKOOL”), or ChatGPT may create the image itself.
  • In ChatGPT and Claude, give AKOOL a link to your own image or video that it can open. Claude Code and Codex can upload files from your computer.
  • Videos can take a while. Ask the assistant to check the job’s status later: submitting the request again may start a second job that is also charged.
  • Only subscribed users can use the API functions or Your current subscription plan does not support this API feature means the workspace you connected doesn’t have a Pro Max, Business or Enterprise plan. AKOOL connects the workspace you have open on akool.com when you sign in. Upgrade on akool.com/pricing or switch to a workspace with one of these plans, then connect again.
  • If AKOOL’s tools don’t show up, turn AKOOL on for the chat (in Claude: + → Connectors) or start a new chat. If your sign-in expired, connect again: claude mcp login akool in Claude Code, codex mcp login akool in the Codex CLI.
