write = sends, deletes, buys or posts

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

  • account

    Who the server runs as (an API key account or the anonymous free tier) and how many credits are left.

  • find_apps

    Search Tanvo's ready-made AI apps (photo effects, trends, portraits, product shots, video effects, songs) by what the user wants, e.g. 'royal pet portrait', 'action figure of me', 'old photo restoration', 'dancing video', 'birthday song'. Each app has tuned preset looks with real example outputs. Use get_app for the looks, then generate_from_app to run one.

  • generate_from_appwrite action

    Run one of Tanvo's apps with one of its looks on the user's photos, e.g. the 'renaissance' look of a pet portrait app. Photos go in the order of the app's inputs (see get_app). Uses the look's tuned prompt and model; `details` adds the user's own touch. Charges the look model's credits (shown by get_app) and refunds failures. Needs TANVO_API_KEY unless the look runs on the free engine.

  • generate_image

    Text to image, or an edit / combination when `images` are given. Returns the image (inline when small) and its URL. The free tier runs studio-image-v1 without a key; other models need TANVO_API_KEY. Credits are charged per run and refunded if it fails.

  • generate_music

    Makes two takes of a song on Suno V6, each an MP3 with cover art, a title and the lyrics as sung. Modes: Describe (prompt is one sentence about the song; lyrics are written for you), Lyrics (prompt is your lyrics, with [Verse] [Chorus] [Bridge] tags), Instrumental (prompt describes the sound). 60 credits a run; needs TANVO_API_KEY.

  • generate_video

    Text to video, or animate a still when `image` is given (optionally ending on `end_image`). Video takes one to several minutes, so by default this returns at once with an id for get_generation. Needs TANVO_API_KEY.

  • get_app

    One Tanvo app: the photos it needs, its preset looks (each with an example output and the prompt behind it), the model it runs on and the link that opens it in the browser.

  • get_generation

    Status and outputs of a run started earlier (poll this for videos).

  • list_models

    Every image, video and music model with the options each accepts (aspect, resolution, duration, format, audio), how many reference images it takes, whether the free tier covers it, and its credit cost at default settings.

  • open_in_tanvo

    A link that opens Tanvo ready to go: an app on a chosen look, or the image / video / music studio with a model and prompt filled in. Use it when the user wants to upload photos and tweak settings themselves, or has no API key.

Tanvo MCP

The MCP server for Tanvo, an AI image, video and music studio. Ask your assistant for "a renaissance portrait of my cat from this photo", "turn this selfie into a boxed action figure", "a 10-second clip of this product spinning" or "a birthday song for Sam", and it runs it on Tanvo and hands you the file.

Works in Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Cline, Codex, Gemini CLI and any other MCP client. No API key needed to try it: the house image engine runs on the free tier.

What it can do

  • 80 ready-made apps with 350+ preset looks. Pet portraits, figurines, old photo restoration, AI baby, product photos, outfit try-on, trend videos (hotel lobby duet, crying filter, dance), birthday and love songs. Each look is a tuned prompt with a real example output, so you know what you will get.
  • Images on Nano Banana 2 / Pro, Seedream 5, GPT Image 2.5, Qwen Image, Grok Imagine and the free house engine: text to image, edits and multi-photo compositions.
  • Video on Veo 3.1, Kling 3.0, Seedance 2.5, Wan, Minimax and more: text to video, image to video, start and end frames, native sound.
  • Songs on Suno V6: two takes per run, each an MP3 with cover art, a title and the lyrics.
  • Local photos are uploaded for you, and results can be saved straight into a folder.

Tools

Install

The server runs with npx, so there is nothing to install first (Node 20+).

Claude Code

claude mcp add tanvo -- npx -y tanvo-mcp

Add -e TANVOAPIKEY=sk_... to run on your account.

Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, VS Code (the mcpServers block of the client's MCP config)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tanvo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "tanvo-mcp"],
      "env": { "TANVO_API_KEY": "sk_..." }
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

gemini extensions install https://github.com/tanvoai/tanvo-mcp

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.tanvo]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "tanvo-mcp"]
env = { TANVO_API_KEY = "sk_..." }

AI agents that install servers themselves (Cline and others) can follow llms-install.md.

Free tier and API keys

Without a key the server uses Tanvo's anonymous free tier: the house image engine (studio-image-v1), watermarked, a few images per machine per day. Everything else (apps on premium models, video, songs) needs a key. When a call needs one, the server replies with a link that opens the same app or prompt in the browser, where new accounts start with free credits.

Create a key under Settings → API keys. A key runs on your own account: the same models, prices and plan as the website, and every run lands in your history. Each run's price is shown by getapp / listmodels, and failed runs are refunded automatically.

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
