Documentation Overview
avots-mcp
Official MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for avots.ai - a multi-provider AI platform.
One connection gives you:
- 🖼 Image generation & editing - Nano Banana (Gemini 3 Pro / 3.1 Flash), GPT-5 Image, FLUX, Recraft (incl. native vector SVG), Ideogram
- 🎬 Video generation & editing - Veo 3.1, Seedance 2.0, Kling v3.0 Pro, Sora 2 Pro, Grok Imagine, Gemini Omni Flash (async, 1-8 min); plus scene edit, face swap and lip-sync re-voicing of existing clips
- 🧑🎤 Talking heads & avatars - saved reusable face identities, talking-avatar videos, vertical AI-vlogs for Shorts / TikTok
- 🎵 Music & audio - ElevenLabs Music, ACE-Step, Stable Audio, TTS narration (incl. cloned voices)
- 🎨 Studio templates - photo-montage reels, vintage travel posters, viral trend recreation with your face
- 💬 300+ chat models - Claude (Sonnet / Opus), GPT-5, Gemini 3, DeepSeek, Sonar, and more - billed through one balance
The server lives at https://mcp.avots.ai/ and speaks the MCP 2025-06-18 spec over Streamable HTTP. Tools are billed per call against your avots balance (same balance you'd see on the web app or the Telegram bot).
Quick start
- Sign up at avots.ai and mint an MCP key at Settings → Integrations (it looks like
av_mcp_<48hex>). - Pick your client from the table below and follow the linked guide.
- Try it - ask your client "generate an image of a fox in a snowy forest" and watch tokens get spent.
| Client | Guide | Auth model |

| Claude Code (CLI) | docs/claude-code.md | Bearer token via claude mcp add |
| Cursor | docs/cursor.md | Bearer token via mcp-remote |
| Cline | docs/cline.md | Bearer token via mcp-remote |
| Any other MCP client | docs/tools.md - endpoint + tool list | Bearer header Authorization: Bearer av_mcp_… |

What's in the server
Nineteen tools, all documented in docs/tools.md:
| Tool | Cost | What it does |
|---|---|---|
check_balance | free | Current tokens, subscription tier and the full pricing catalog. |
list_models | free | All active models with per-call cost (filter by chat, image, video, audio). |
list_avatars | free | The user's saved reusable face identities. |
list_trends | free | The avots Studio catalog of viral templates (face-swap videos, ads, animations). |
check_job | free | Poll any async job by job_id. |
chat | ~10-1000 ⚡ | Send a prompt to any chat model. Useful for delegating to GPT, DeepSeek, Sonar, etc. |
generate_image | ~200-500 ⚡ | Sync image gen AND photo editing (image_urls). Recraft can return native vector SVG (format: "svg", 2x). |
generate_video | ~200-5000 ⚡ | Async video gen with two-step confirmation; supports i2v, multi-photo character refs and motion-reference clips. |
face_swap_video | ~500-2000 ⚡ | Swap the face in an existing video with a photo (or saved avatar). Two-step. |
edit_video | ~450 ⚡/sec | Scene edit of an existing clip by text prompt; person, motion and original audio preserved. Two-step. |
lipsync_video | ~300-600 ⚡ | Re-voice an existing talking video: new text (TTS) or a ready audio track. Two-step. |
create_avatar | free / ~200-500 ⚡ | Save a reusable face identity from a photo (free) or generate one from a description. |
generate_talking_avatar | ~600-2500 ⚡ | A portrait speaks your exact text: TTS + lip-sync, quality/fast tiers. Two-step. |
generate_vlog | preview shows price | Vertical AI-influencer clip for Shorts / TikTok: the server writes the line from your topic. Two-step. |
generate_audio | ~50-800 ⚡ | Music (ElevenLabs Music, ACE-Step, Stable Audio) or TTS narration incl. cloned voices. Async. |
create_montage | ~200 ⚡ | Slideshow reel from 4-25 photos: Ken Burns + crossfades + music. |
create_travel_poster | ~200-500 ⚡ | Face photo → vintage travel poster of any country. Synchronous. |
recreate_trend | per trend | Put the user's face into a viral template from list_trends. |
create_calendar_event | ~5 ⚡ | Natural language → event in the linked Apple/Google calendar (or an .ics download). |
About the two-step video flow. Video is the most expensive tool. To avoid surprise spend,
generate_videoreturns a preview card the first time it's called (no submit, no reserve). The client (e.g. Claude) shows the cost + alternative models with prices and asks the user. The user confirms, the client re-calls with the chosenmodel+confirmed: true, and only then does the job get submitted. On submit error the server returns the same alternatives card - it never silently swaps to a pricier model.
What you can build
A few things this is actually useful for. Each one chains two or more tools through one connection and one balance.
- Social ad creative in one prompt — hero image, animated variant, music bed.
- Product-photo angle pack — one product shot in, four angles + a rotation clip out.
- Storyboard to animatic — four script-driven frames animated into a 12-second rough cut.
- Vertical Reels / Shorts factory — 9:16 clip + matching 15-second music bed, repeatable per video.
- Podcast cover art + show notes — four cover variations and a written episode description for each.
- Second-opinion delegation — forward a tricky problem to a model from a different lineage and compare.
- Localized brand assets — translated copy and locale-tuned visuals across markets.
Each of these flows is written out as a runnable script — exact prompt, tool sequence, model picks, cost — in docs/recipes.md.
Cost ranges from ~200⚡ for a single image to ~5000⚡ for a 10-second 1080p Kling Pro clip — run list_models (free) at any time for live per-call prices.
Billing
All tool calls bill against your avots balance, just like the web app and Telegram bot. No separate metering. Daily USD cap (set in Settings) and per-key rate limits apply.
See pricing.avots.ai for token packs and subscriptions.
Troubleshooting
Common cross-client issues (401s, daily caps, two-step video flow, image rendering, npx PATH gotchas) are collected in docs/troubleshooting.md. For client-specific setup, see the per-client guide linked in the table above.
