build_kavel_prompt): Generate an optimized prompt recipe for a specific Kavel tool, with optional customization (e.g., "make the figurine hold a skateboard"), ready to paste into the generator.Open a generator (
open_in_kavel): Get a direct, pre-configured URL to a Kavel generator page, pre-set for immediate generation using Kavel's free-tier models.List AI models (
list_kavel_models): View all image and video models Kavel supports, what each excels at, and whether a free tier is available.

Kavel MCP
An MCP server for Kavel — bring Kavel's AI photo & video generators into any MCP client (Claude, Cursor, Cline, …). Ask for an effect, get a model-tuned prompt, and open the right tool to generate it on www.kavel.ai.
No account or API key required to use this server — it helps you pick a tool and craft a prompt, then hands off to Kavel's free-tier generators.
