Ludo AI Game Assets

What Ludo AI Game Assets does

The Ludo AI Game Assets MCP server lets compatible AI clients request game asset generation through Ludo. Supported output areas include sprites, icons, backgrounds, UI elements, textures, 3D models, animated spritesheets, video, sound effects, background music, character voices, and text-to-speech audio.

Image generation can start from a text prompt, while other workflows can use existing images, reference images, video, or rigged models depending on the feature. The service also includes image editing, background removal, style matching, 2D-to-3D conversion, model rigging, skeletal animation, animation retargeting, and video upscaling where supported by the relevant generator.

How it works

Generation calls are asynchronous. A request enters Ludo's job queue and returns a job identifier immediately; the client can then poll or long-poll for completion with getApiJob. The server also supports listing and cancelling jobs. Queued jobs that are cancelled refund their credits, according to the supplied documentation.

Before generating, an agent can use searchDocs to retrieve relevant sections from Ludo's feature guidance, or use getDocs to browse and read the documentation corpus. Documentation covers topics such as animation modes, model selection, margins, pricing, and known limitations. The server announces these documentation tools during MCP initialization so clients that display server instructions can be directed to consult them first.

Setup and configuration

Ludo AI Game Assets uses the streamable HTTP endpoint https://mcp.ludo.ai/mcp. Authentication is provided with an HTTP header in the MCP client configuration:

{
  "url": "https://mcp.ludo.ai/mcp",
  "headers": {
    "Authorization": "ApiKey YOUR_API_KEY"
  }
}

Obtain the API key through a Ludo account at ludo.ai and app.ludo.ai. The README provides configuration examples for Claude Desktop and Cursor. No environment variable name is specified in the supplied material; the key is shown directly in the client header configuration.

Tools and capabilities

The Ludo AI Game Assets MCP server provides capabilities for:

• Creating images such as sprites, icons, backgrounds, UI assets, textures, and other game artwork.
• Editing images, applying a reference style, and removing backgrounds.
• Converting 2D images to GLB models with PBR textures and auto-rigging models with engine-ready joint names.
• Creating sprite animations, keyframe animations, motion transfers, and edited spritesheets.
• Retargeting curated animation presets onto rigged 3D models. Presets expose names, categories, durations, previews, and clips; supported perspectives and eight compass directions are also available.
• Generating short videos, including videos from reference images, prompt-based edits, and 2x upscaling where applicable.
• Producing sound effects, music, character voices, and TTS output.
• Checking credits, plan details, auto-top-up settings, reset timing, and billing information.
• Searching or reading Ludo documentation, reviewing generation history, cancelling jobs, and reporting feedback.

Limitations and notes

Ludo AI Game Assets consumes credits for generation, while documentation search and reading are free. The account response exposes the currently available balance, whether credits come from a team pool, subscription state, reset time, grace period, and auto-top-up settings. Plan or credit changes happen through the web app using the supplied billing URL, not through the API.

Model availability and costs vary by operation. The README identifies current models including Hydra, Forge, Forge Pixel, Griffin, and Griffin HD, while several older models remain only for compatibility and are scheduled for removal. The service may return an empty documentation search result when its material does not cover a question, and the search backend can temporarily return a 503 response; getDocs is the documented fallback.
