Avocado AI Now Has an MCP Server: Generate Images, Videos, Music, and Speech From Any AI Assistant
Avocado AI now has an MCP server. Generate images, videos, music, and voiceovers from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client, without leaving your chat. Everything saves straight to your workspace.
We just shipped something we're excited about: an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets you use Avocado AI's full creative toolkit directly from Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible client.
No browser tab. No copy-pasting prompts. Just tell your AI assistant what you want to create, and it happens.
What is MCP?
MCP is an open standard created by Anthropic that lets AI assistants connect to external tools and services. Think of it as USB-C for AI: one universal way for any AI client to talk to any tool provider.
When you connect Avocado AI's MCP server to your AI assistant, it gains the ability to generate images, videos, music, and speech on your behalf. Everything saves automatically to your Avocado AI workspace.
What You Can Do With It
The Avocado AI MCP server exposes 6 tools.
1. Generate Images (generate_image)
Access 19+ state-of-the-art image models from a single tool:
- Flux Pro Ultra: high-quality professional images with ultra detail
- Imagen 4 and Imagen 4 Ultra: Google's photorealistic image models
- Ideogram V3: best-in-class text rendering, great for logos and typography
- Recraft V4 Pro: design-focused generation with style control
- SeedDream V5: ByteDance's latest image model
- GPT Image 1.5: OpenAI's image generation
- Grok Imagine: xAI's image model
- And 12 more
You can control aspect ratio (1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 21:9, 3:2, 2:3) and generate up to 4 images at once. Most models cost 1 credit per image; premium models cost 2.
2. Generate Videos (generate_video)

- Resolution: 720p or 1080p
- Fast mode: quicker results at slightly lower quality

Videos take 2 to 5 minutes to generate and appear in your workspace automatically.

How to Connect
Endpoint
https://www.avocadoai.co/api/mcp
Authentication
Sign up at avocadoai.co
Go to your API Keys page and create a key
Your key will look like avk_xxxxxxxxxxxx
Claude Desktop
Add this to your Claude Desktop MCP config (claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"avocado-ai": {
"url": "https://www.avocadoai.co/api/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer avk_your_api_key_here"
}
}
}
}
Claude Code (CLI)
Run this command:
claude mcp add --transport http avocado-ai https://www.avocadoai.co/api/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer avk_your_api_key_here"
Cursor, Windsurf, and Other MCP Clients
Point your client to the endpoint URL and pass your API key as a Bearer token in the Authorization header. The server uses the standard Streamable HTTP transport, so any MCP client that supports it will work.
Example Workflows
Here are some things you can do once connected.
"Generate a hero image for my landing page" Your AI assistant calls generate_image with your description, picks the best model, and the image appears in your Avocado AI workspace ready to download.
"Create a 10-second product demo video" Calls generate_video with Seedance 2.0. The video renders in the background and shows up in your workspace in a few minutes.
"Make a 60-second lo-fi beat for my YouTube video" Calls generate_music with your description. A finished track appears in your library.
"Read this blog post aloud in a deep male voice" Calls text_to_speech with the Adam voice. An MP3 saves to your workspace.
"How many credits do I have left?" Calls check_credits and tells you your balance, tier, and how many more generations you can run.
Technical Details
For developers who want to know what's under the hood:
- Protocol: MCP over Streamable HTTP (POST/GET)
- SDK: @modelcontextprotocol/sdk v1.29+
- Auth: Bearer token via Authorization header, with query parameter fallback (?apiKey=avk_...) for gateway compatibility
- No OAuth flow: auth errors return MCP-level error messages instead of HTTP 401, preventing unwanted OAuth redirects in MCP clients
- CORS: fully enabled for cross-origin access
- Timeout: 120 seconds per request
- Generated content: all images, videos, music, and audio are stored in your Avocado AI workspace and accessible from the web app
