Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

AI photo, video and song apps plus image, video and music generation on Tanvo (tanvo.ai).

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Design, images & audio
  • You need to fill in: TANVO_API_KEY

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: TANVO_API_KEY, TANVO_OUTPUT_DIR

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tanvo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "tanvo-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "TANVO_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "TANVO_OUTPUT_DIR": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add tanvo --env TANVO_API_KEY=your-value --env TANVO_OUTPUT_DIR=your-value -- npx -y tanvo-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tanvo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "tanvo-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "TANVO_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "TANVO_OUTPUT_DIR": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "tanvo": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "tanvo-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "TANVO_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "TANVO_OUTPUT_DIR": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • TANVO_API_KEY secret env
    API key from tanvo.ai Settings → API keys. Optional: without it only the free house image engine runs.
  • TANVO_OUTPUT_DIR env
    Optional folder to save results into

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Tanvo safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: TANVO_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.2.1) reached the registry 28 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Figma Context MCP, Claude Real Video, Figma MCP Server

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

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

ToolWhat it does
find_appsSearch the apps by what the user wants ("royal pet portrait", "fix an old photo")
get_appAn app's inputs and looks, with example outputs, prompts and cost
generate_from_appRun an app's look on the user's photos
generate_imageText to image, or edit / combine photos

get_generationStatus and outputs of a run; can wait and save files
list_modelsEvery model, its options and its credit cost
accountFree tier or account, and the credits left
open_in_tanvoA link that opens the app, look or studio ready to go

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 TANVO_API_KEY=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 get_app / list_models, and failed runs are refunded automatically.

VariableMeaning
TANVO_API_KEYYour API key (optional)
TANVO_OUTPUT_DIRSave every result into this folder (optional; each call can also pass save_to)
TANVO_BASE_URLAnother deployment, e.g. a local build (default https://tanvo.ai)
TANVO_ANON_IDFix the free-tier id instead of the one stored in ~/.config/tanvo-mcp/anon-id

Examples

Make my dog look like a Renaissance oil painting. ~/Pictures/rex.jpg

find_apps → get_app ai-pet-portrait-generator → generate_from_app with look renaissance and the photo.

Write a birthday song for my sister Ana, she loves surfing and terrible puns. Save it to ~/Music.

generate_music in Describe mode with save_to: "~/Music".

Animate this product photo into a slow 360° spin, 9:16.

find_apps "product spin" → generate_from_app product-spin, then get_generation until it is done.

Privacy

Prompts and photos you pass are sent to tanvo.ai to run the job, under the privacy policy. Content is moderated before anything runs. The server stores nothing except the anonymous free-tier id.

Develop
