Stivio
AI image-to-video generator MCP server. Turn any image into a 5-second video with plain-language motion prompts.
Install Stivio in your MCP client
Stivio is a Model Context Protocol server. Add it to your MCP client config once, restart, and the server's tools become available to your AI assistant. The same JSON snippet below works across all four major clients — only the config file path differs.
- Locate your client's MCP config file.
- Cursor:
~/.cursor/mcp.json - Claude Desktop (macOS):
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json - Claude Desktop (Windows):
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json - VS Code:
Settings → Extensions → MCP - Windsurf:
Settings → MCP Servers
- Cursor:
- Add Stivio to the mcpServers map — paste the snippet below into your config file. If you already have other MCP servers, merge the entry into the existing
mcpServersobject. - Restart your client so it picks up the new server.
- Verify — ask the assistant to list available tools; Stivio's tools should appear.

"mcpServers": {
"stivio": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [

"note": "Replace with the actual package name from the server's documentation."
}
}
}Install Stivio in Cursor
Open ~/.cursor/mcp.json in your editor, paste the snippet above into mcpServers, save, and restart Cursor. Stivio will show up in the assistant's tool list on next launch.
Install Stivio in Claude Desktop (macOS)
Open ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json in your editor, paste the snippet above into mcpServers, save, and restart Claude Desktop (macOS). Stivio will show up in the assistant's tool list on next launch.
Install Stivio in Claude Desktop (Windows)
Open %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json in your editor, paste the snippet above into mcpServers, save, and restart Claude Desktop (Windows). Stivio will show up in the assistant's tool list on next launch.
Install Stivio in VS Code
Open Settings → Extensions → MCP in your editor, paste the snippet above into mcpServers, save, and restart VS Code. Stivio will show up in the assistant's tool list on next launch.
Tools exposed by Stivio
Once installed, Stivio exposes the following MCP tools to your AI assistant. Each tool can be called directly by the assistant whenever its capability is relevant to your prompt.
list_video_modelsList Stivio video models, supported settings and per-second credit rates. Public; no key needed.
estimate_video_costValidate settings and calculate the exact credit cost. Free; does not generate or reserve credits.
get_credit_balanceRead your spendable Stivio credit balance. Requires a key; does not reconcile or render videos.
upload_imageUpload and moderate a PNG/JPEG/WebP image for video generation. Provide raw base64 (no data URL), maximum 3 MiB decoded. Use the returned url as imageUrl or lastFrameUrl. Requires a key. Clients with file/shell access can instead POST multipart file to https://stivio.ai/api/upload with the same Bearer key; do not ask the language model to transcribe image bytes.
generate_videoStart a paid video job with user approval and an exact expectedCredits quote. Required requestId deduplicates identical retries for 24h. Never use a new id to retry an uncertain submission. Returns taskId. For i2v upload the image first; for t2v select a -t2v model.
get_video_statusCheck your own task. Poll no faster than every 10 seconds. On success returns videoUrl for the MP4; failures use Stivio's refund flow. Can finalize storage or refunds; requires a key.
Transport
Stivio supports the following MCP transports. Most AI clients use stdio by default for locally-installed servers.

AINDF
Local Node.js stdio MCP for composing and validating ScreenSpec JSON against pinned design-system component, prop and slot contracts. Requires a compatible AINDF-enabled design-system bundle. Product and setup: https://oleg.design/ai-native-design-framework . Source: https://github.com/0design/ai-native-design-framework . Specification validation is separate from build, visual/behavior checks and acceptance.
UNSLOP Canon
Read-only design and UX rule canon served as MCP resources over Streamable HTTP, no authentication. Product, full audit plugin and setup: https://oleg.design/unslop . Source: https://github.com/0design/unslop-skill . The endpoint provides canon data; it does not run the detector or modify project code.
