What the publisher says
From the Kie repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
kie-mcp
A comprehensive Model Context Protocol server for the kie.ai generation API. Gives Claude (and any MCP client) access to 60+ image models, 85+ video models, and 20+ audio tools with deep model intelligence built in.
Why this exists
Most MCPs are thin API wrappers. This one is different:
- Vertical profiles (NEW in 5.0) — per-domain playbooks: profile_brief returns the intake questions a professional would ask, model routing per deliverable with live costs, per-model prompt formulas, and multi-tool workflows. Profiles double as MCP prompts (/kie-art:architecture in Claude Code). Verticals (10): architecture & interiors, video game assets, advertising & marketing, web & software product imagery, film & storyboarding, product photography & e-commerce, brand & graphic design, editorial & publishing, short-form social video, and audio branding & music.
- Deep research embedded — Every major model has a research field with verdicts, prompt techniques, weaknesses, cost-efficiency analysis, and competitor comparisons. Researched by Averiguare, our model intelligence agent.
- Cost-aware — Every model has pricing in credits and USD. The MCP tells you the cheapest option for your use case.
- Smart filtering — list_models filter="lip sync" or filter="architecture" or filter="cheapest video" — searches across capability tags, descriptions, AND research fields.
- Dual-mode transport — stdio for local Claude Code, HTTP Streamable for remote Cowork/cloud usage.
What you can do with it
Just ask Claude things like:
- "Generate a brand presentation board for a perfume launch" — picks GPT Image 2 (best for text-heavy layouts)
- "Make a 10s video of fruit scarecrows defending against crows, Pixar style" — recommends Veo 3.1 or Wan 2.7
- "Generate music for a fantasy adventure game" — Suno V5
- "Lip-sync this audio to my character image" — Kling AI Avatar or Infinitalk
- "Upscale this video to 4K" — Veo 4K upscale or Topaz
- "Replace the wall color in this room photo" — Flux Kontext Pro (best for surgical edits)
